THE mayor of Weston, Cllr Ciaran Cronnelly, has attended this year's first Weston Bike Night.

Running every Thursday over the summer, the event kicked off on Thursday, May 2 at the Beach Lawns.

Speaking last week, Cllr Cronnelly said: "Weston Bike Night is back.

"I headed down to the beach lawns this evening for the first bike night of the summer and it was lovely to meet everyone.

"If you've not been before then I'd absolutely encourage you to head down. It's for everyone, you don't need to ride a bike - there's food, drink and you get to help raise funds for the fantastic RBL. Bikers come from all over and I heard a story of one biker a few years ago coming from Helsinki!

"Bike Night is every Thursday over the summer at the Beach Lawns starting at 6pm.

"Big appreciation to all the volunteers who make this work and special mention to Lyn who I know has been working incredibly hard to make bike night as big and brilliant as it is.

"Thank you again to Frank for letting me ride pillion on his Indian."
