Ronald says “Back in 1998 was the year the event launched and we were really pleased that around 300 bikes turned up! Then it started to grow – at one point the event was so huge that we saw around 10,000 bikers on the seafront!”
Ronald continues: “The first charity that we supported was Havens Childrens Hospice. If it wasn’t for the support of the Ace Café’s Mark Wilsmore – there would never have been an event. I would like to wish The Southend Shakedown Resurrection Committee all the very best for their first event!”
