Despite this, members opted to pay their fees so they could be donated to the North West Air Ambulance.

A cheque for £2,180 was presented to NWAA at the Bike Club’s annual quiz night, which was held at Clitheroe Rugby Club on December 1st and an additional £100 raised on the night by a raffle organised by club chairman, Trevor Lingard.

From accidental injuries to severe medical emergencies, the NWAA crew delivers specialist and enhanced pre-hospital care to the most critically ill and injured, and transports patients to the most appropriate hospital to achieve the best outcomes for them.
