NEARLY £8,000 has been raised at an egg-citing event attended by thousands of bikers from across the country.

And Stourport's Mick Worrall, who was dressed up as a chicken, was among the members of Virago Stars Owners Club who helped pull in the cash as well as thousands of chocolate eggs at the bike ride held in Stoke.

The event was in aid of children living in West Midlands foster homes.

Mr Worrall said: "It was fantastic. We raised about £7,500 and there were about 30 bikers from Wyre Forest.

"There will be another egg run in Coventry on April 12 and those who wish to support us should meet me at the Watermill car park, Park Lane, Kidderminster, at 11.30am."
