Started in 2002 with an idea and that idea was to have a social gathering of bikers on Paignton Seafront (Devon). Waningt to raise valuable money for charity and have a good time as well is exactly what has happened.

Paignton Bike Night has been running since 2003 and has become the largest social gathering of bikers in the South West of England on a regular basis. There is a mile of bikes parked side by side every Wednesday evenings from June to Sept each year on Paignton Seafront.

Due to the success of Paignton Bike Nights BMAD now organise a Biker Festival weekend called Paignton Bike Festival that is held on Paignton Seafront (Devon). The first Festival was in May 2005 and proved to be a total success not just for the charities but also for all concerned.

All the money raised go to the Charities - Sick and disabled children and their families/carers of Torbay, Devon Air Ambulance and St John. All unpaid volunteers at BMAD and every £1 that is donated goes to charity.

They are all very proud of what has been achieved and long may it last.

A big thank you to:

• All the sponsors
• Torbay Council
• Devon and Cornwall Police
• All our volunteers
• All that support BMAD and our causes

The success of Paignton Bike Night and the Festival is down to the hard work and dedication of committee members and Marshals. They are always looking for volunteers and any help that bikers can spare. It is down to all of us to make it a success.
