Please remember they are here helping with this event for free, and they are taking the time from their time off to ensure it is a safe enjoyable convoy for George, so please ensure that everyone follows any instructions given.

The convoy will be heading to Heysham from The Football Club, and then head down A589 to Heysham Road and then on to the prom, ending at Happy Mount Park.
