A rat run brought Easter cheer to young patients at Airedale Hospital on Easter Sunday.

Motorbike enthusiasts from the Silsden-based Sewer Rats Club staged their fourth annual Easter Egg Run.

Around 60 members and fellow bikers travelled from the Wesley Place car park at Silsden - via Addingham and Skipton - to the hospital, where they delivered donated chocolate eggs to the children's ward.

The club also presented £1,000 - raised mainly through carol singing in Silsden pubs - to the Sarah McKie Memorial Fund.

During the run the motorcyclists stopped off at Henri's Bistro, in Skipton, for refreshments and afterwards enjoyed free food at the Red Lion, Silsden.

Club chairman Ray Yates said: "We were very pleased with the turn out on Sunday. It has now become an annual event and is very popular. We had a van full of Easter eggs to present to the children's ward."

He thanks everyone who attended and donated eggs, Henri's Bistro and the Red Lion for their support and club member Stuart Bunting who was the chief organiser.

The club, which draws members from across the area, was formed about seven years ago.

It stages other events, including an annual rally at Addingham Moorside and social and fundraising activities.
