Motorists reminded of festive fundraisers on the roads this weekend

Motorists are reminded there are two festive fundraisers planned for the Island's roads today.

Kicking off the festivities we have Santa's on a Bike - which will see hundreds of leather clad Santas set off from the Grandstand at 10 o clock, before embarking on a ridealong out to Peel, before making their way back to Rebecca House Hospice via Crosby. 

The Plan.com sponsored event endeavours to raise funds for Rebecca House, with riders expected back at the finish line around 12pm. 

Later on we'll have dozens of festively lit tractors setting off from Peel at around 4pm, making their way to Douglas via Ramsey and the Laxey coast road. 

The Isle of Man Young Farmers event is expected to conclude back at The Grandstand around 9.15pm.

Motorists are asked to be mindful of both events, and to take alternate routes or leave with plenty of time to avoid being caught up in the queues.'
