The Wight Wolves Motorcycling Club held a 52-mile charity poker run rideout, on Sunday, and raised nearly £400 for Friends of the Animals.
The Island-wide group, which was formed five years ago, now has 12 members and regularly meet up for a rideout while raising funds for a variety of charities.
Founder, Gabriel (G) Black said: “There were 11 of us on Sunday with 91 entries in the poker run, which costs £5 a person.
“We started at Sandown Airport and visited Blackgang Chine, Ryde seafront and Fort Victoria, before returning to the airport. At each location and the start and finish of the event, the entrants are given a playing card, so, by the end they have five cards. The best hand wins a percentage of the pot, while anyone with a Joker gets their entry fee back. It’s a bit of fun and everyone enjoyed the way it was organised.”
All participants were entered into a raffle, with many local businesses donating various vouchers as prizes.
