The sun shone down on a bright Saturday morning in Olivedale, where hundreds of community members and families of residents attended the fun walk and market day, which also included a collection of toys and teddy bears for children in need and a visit by motorcycle clubs and a display of vintage cars and Harley Davidson motorcycles.

The walk was arranged by the estate’s frail care facility, so it was wheelchair friendly.
In fact, residents from the facility were eager to line up in front and lead the way around the estate, their helpers pushing behind.

The visiting motorcycle club was the Final Few MC, who were joined by members of the Christian Motorcycle Association and the Vigilantes MC.
