Community eventNew England North West Westpac Rescue Helicopter Charity Bike Ride - 20 Mar 2010 to 21 Mar 2010
The New England North West Westpac Rescue Helicopter Charity Bike Ride from the Barossa Valley to Tamworth, will be stopping over in Parkes on Saturday 20th March 2010. Over 30 participants and officials associated with the event will stay overnight and participate in a charity function with details yet to be confirmed.

The event is set to raise money to support the New England/ North West Rescue Helicopter Aeromedical Service which is an important link in the health chain for the rural and remote communities in the area. Many visitors from all over Australia visit the New England/ North West region of NSW and the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service is there, free of charge, for whose who need it.

The idea for the Barossa Valley to Tamworth Charity Bike Ride was originated by a group of mates who wanted to raise some much needed funds for the Service and to celebrate the Service's 10 year anniversary in the New England/ North West Region. The group of mates will now be joined by more friends and acquaintances to take part in a challenging 3 week ride which will cover over 1,700km. more ..
