Gosport rideout: raising funds for Parkinson's UK

Jeff & I were pleased to attend a repeat of the below event on Sunday 29 May 2022. An excellent turnout, nice bacon baps & coffee, a really well organised ride & an excellent fundraising opportunity for a cause close to Kim & my hearts: Parkinson's UK. Photos HERE.

The News, Portsmouth (23rd July 2021): The team behind Broadway Bake and Sandwich Bar, Gosport is hosting a fun day with activities, food, and special guests.

Owner Sharon Sparrow and her partner Alan Freeman, a baker, are welcoming people to come and join the fun on Sunday while helping to raise funds for an important cause.

Alan said: ‘Two years ago we were planning to hold an event that we had to cancel due to Covid, so now we’re doing it again.’

The bikers will ride out as visitors enjoy food from the bakery and take part in fun activities.

Alan said: ‘I’ll be serving up bacon baps, sausage baps, and egg baps. It’s all free of charge - we just ask for a donation.

‘We’ve got loads of auction prizes to auction off with as well as about 50 raffle prizes.’

The event will raise funds for Parkinson’s disease, with all donations going to charity.

Alan added: ‘My partner’s father has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s, as have a couple of our customers, and I just thought it would be good to give something back.’
