A ROCK themed car and bike show is gearing up to be one of the Mayor of Dudley’s last events as part of his year of mayoral fundraising.

The Stourbridge Motorcycle Club event this Sunday (May 8) will raise funds for the Mayor’s five chosen charities.

Rock band Black Country Rock will also be supporting the car and bike show, taking place at the River Rooms, in Mill Race Lane, between noon and 6pm.

Councillor Steve Waltho, Mayor of Dudley, said: “I own a motorbike and have a love of rock music so I'm indebted to Bob Curtis and his colleagues at SMCC for organising this event.

“It should be a great afternoon with something for all the family.

“There will be stalls, food and some wonderful machines on show outside, with local rock bands playing inside the River Rooms all giving their time to support my charities.”

Admission to the River Rooms is £3 on the day, with money raised being donated to The Hope Centre, The What? Centre, More Mascots Please, Leukaemia Unit Appeal Fund, Russells Hall and The West Midlands Lupus Group.
