Edit * We have just been informed that £365 was donated to Yorkshire Air Ambulance which is brilliant 😊
A huge thank you to all the brave souls that turned out for the toy run today. There was £130 donated via Elmet Lions and roughly £250 worth of toys. These will be distributed between Peter Pan Nursery, Spirit of Christmas, Cash For Kids and Whiterose FC. There is still the amount to add from Yorkshire Air Ambulance when we get the total donated to them. Thank you again everyone for turning out in chilly and wet conditions. There will be some happy kids thanks to you 😊

Safety Brief & Attendance Instructions

Squires Toy Run 2025
Firstly thank you to everyone that will be taking the time and effort to attend Squires Toy Run 2025. Contained within this document you will find details of what will happen on the day and what you will need to do to ensure that the ride is safe and memorable for all involved.
Upon arrival at Squires Café Bar.
Marshals will direct you to the parking area. The main ride will go straight on up the access road and down towards speed style. Once you have parked up please make your way to the front of the cafe to make your donation.
Safety during the Squires Toy Run
We want to ensure that everyone taking part in the 2025 Squires Toy Run has a safe and enjoyable day. Please help us to do so by reading this safety brief in full.
1. Road-worthiness
Make sure that both themselves and their vehicle are legal to be used on the road. This includes having valid insurance, road tax and where appropriate MOT. Learners should be displaying valid L plates. Bikes should be safe and roadworthy.
2. Speed
Speed limits must be adhered to at all times. There may be Police present during the ride and monitoring people heading to the starting points or leaving after the event. Anyone caught breaking the speed limit will be liable to prosecution.
3. Rules of the Road
Traffic signals and directions should be followed at all times. This includes stopping at red lights, giving way to other road users that have right of way, and adhering to the Highway Code and UK Traffic Laws at all times.
4. Riding Position
We would ask that where it is safe to do so all riders adopt the staggered riding position to help keep the procession of bikes as short as possible. For example Rider 1 near the kerb with the following rider keeping a safe distance behind and riding slightly off set. The next rider goes back to the near side and so on .
Please also ensure that on single carriage ways, all riders stick to their side of the road and do not cross the white line on bends, potentially putting themselves into the pathway of oncoming traffic.
5. Overtaking
Under no circumstances should there be any overtaking whilst on the ride. Please stick to your position within the ride. The only overtaking permitted is by the designated marshals, so please be alert and aware of their presence and if safe to do so make room for them to overtake.
6. Other Road Users
During the ride please always be considerate to other road users and pedestrians. Please keep revs (and noise) down through built up areas and villages.
7.Marshaling
Please be aware that the Squires Toy Run route will be fully marshalled giving clear indications of the route to be taken. If you arrive at a junction and there is no apparent marshal accept this as a straight on direction. The Squires marshal team will be wearing Orange Hi Visibility vests or arm bands so please refrain from wearing an orange Hi Visibility vest to save any confusion on the day.Yellow Hi Visibility clothing is acceptable to wear on the ride.
8. Arrival in Bedale.

Please follow directions from the marshal team

Thank you for taking the time to read this brief. We look forward to seeing you all on the 29th November.
