The Rat Pack Returns, held at the Princess Pavilion in Falmouth, was the first charity fundraiser ever staged by Cornwall Blood Bikes.

Tempus Leisure supplied the venue while the charity's fundraising manager, Mark Holroyd and his wife Joy, put in many hours and sleepless nights behind the scenes and charity riders lent their support by raising public awareness and selling tickets.

With gentlemen observing the black tie dress code and ladies donning evening dresses, the evening started with drinks, followed by a two course meal ahead of the evening's entertainment.

The CCB flagship motorbike was also on display all evening and it wasn’t long before the ladies were asking if they could sit on it. By the end of the evening £1,947 had been raised which will go towards keeping the charity motorcycles on the road supporting the service they provide to the NHS.
