MOTORCYCLISTS are needed to take part in a Red Nose Day fundraiser transporting a wedding dress from one end of the country to the other.
Banbury Sainsbury’s manager Steve Martin is looking for riders to take part in 100-mile stages between Land’s End and John O’Groats from March 19.
He is hoping to attract motorbike enthusiasts from all along the 1,000 mile route between Cornwall and Scotland.
But in an added twist, to celebrate April’s Royal Wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton, the team will carry a wedding dress along the route.
Mr Martin said: “We need groups of six- plus bikers, who will raise sponsorship money to take part, and will ride approximately 100-mile legs before handing over the dress.
“A wedding dress has been chosen as its Kate and William’s wedding year and we thought it would be funny to get someone to try it on at every stage.
“It will be carried in a rucksack and shown at each stage to prove it’s still with us.”
Last Comic Relief, Mr Martin organised a motorbike ride to Wales and back in one day and raised £7,000.
