WHAT IS RIDE TO THE WALL ?
This is the opportunity for all motorcyclists to ride as an organised group to the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire for a service of remembrance at The Armed Forces Memorial, and as a consequence raise money for its upkeep. What is the Wall ? The Armed Forces Memorial (The Wall) is a 43 metre diameter stone structure with two curved walls and two straight walls constructed of 200,000 bricks faced with Portland stone panels. The panels contain the names of those honoured by the Memorial providing recognition and thanks for those who have given their lives in the service of the country since the end of the Second World War.
Why the Arboretum ? There are many other already well established organisations raising money for other charities, but as far as we are aware, we are the only one raising money specifically for the National Memorial Arboretum.
Who Organises Ride to the Wall ? The Executive Committee is a small group of volunteers who were brought together by the Founder, Martin Dickinson, to make the event happen. You can see who they are and contact them by going to the front page and clicking on ‘Committee' or ‘Contact us'
Is RTTW anything to do with any Military Organisation ? No
Is RTTW anything to do with any Motorcycle Manufacturer ? No
Is RTTW anything to do with a specific Motorcycling Club ? No
Is RTTW anything to do with any other Organisation ? No RTTW is a stand alone organisation free from the constraints of affiliation to any specific outside governing body and is run entirely by volunteers.
How much of the money raised is donated to the charity ? The only expenses paid are those incurred in the day to day running of the organisation, i.e. the cost of purchasing the merchandise, posting it to you and insurance etc. Once we have covered these, everything else is donated to the NMA
Why should we "as a minimum" Register as this is a charity event ? Registering is our way of helping to raise money for the National memorial Arboretum.
One of may questions we received in 2009 was: "I have registered for Ride to the Wall for this year but will now be bringing a pillion with me. Do they have to register too or will they be covered with my bike" The more people who register the greater the amount we are able to donate to the NMA.We leave it to your conscience, but either way you will both be most welcome
