Easter Egg Run 2025

On Sunday 20th April 2025, a number of guards headed to the the Falkirk Kelpies to meet up with other riders for the annual Falkirk Easter Egg Run.

This annual event is organised by Carron Valley Motorcycle Club in aid of CHAS (Children's Hospices Across Scotland) and always attracts a large number of bikes.

Supporting events and charities like this is a major part of what Widows Sons Solomon's Guard Scotland do. We all share a passion for motorbikes but we also share a passion for helping others.

The Falkirk Easter Egg Run is one of many that take part throughout the UK, with bikers coming together to donate, eggs, money and their time for the benefit of others.

If you are organising an event in Scotland and would like the guards to come along with their bikes. Then please contact our secretary and we will see what we can do.

Below are some pictures from not only the Falkirk run, but from runs down South organised or supported by our fellow Widows Sons and brothers of the road.

On Wednesday 26th March 2025 the guards presented a cheque for £700 to fellow guard and co founder of The Edinburgh Combat Project, an Edinburgh based charity.

The ECP helps young people of all ages get access to martial arts to them to deal with any mental health or other issues.

The cheque was from part of the fundraising efforts of the guards from late 2024 when they raised over £2500 for five different charities.

The presentation took place just after Bro. Pawel had completed his Fellow Craft ceremony at Lodge Colinton & Currie No. 1029. The lodge has been a long time supporter of the guards and the work that they do.

The Chapter President Jim Wilson wishes to thank RWM of Lodge Colinton and Currie No. 1029 Bro Stewart Walls, and the Provincial Grand Master of Midlothian Bro Robert Law for allowing us to make the presentation during the meeting.

PGM Law was in attendance with a large deputation from the Provincial Grand Lodge of Midlothian as part of the annual visit.

Chapter Treasurer Steve McKenzie thanked the members of the lodge for their continued support of Widows Sons Solomons Guard Scotland Grand Chapter and their donations to their fundraising events.

Personal Development with the Guards

Within our membership there is years of motorcycle experience.

Some of the guards have been involved with motorbikes all their lives, whilst others are fairly new to life on two wheels.

This knowledge is shared with all our members via training and development days.

This where an experienced member will go out for a ride with other guards to help them improve their road skills.

Today was one of those days and Princess (aka Gregor), who has a vast amount of experience on two wheels, and is also our Road Captain, went out with one of our Associate Members Calamity (aka Julie).

The day was all about Princess observing Calamity on the road and then offering advice on not only what she could improve but also what she was doing well.

We all want to ride safely, either as a group or when we are out getting some precious alone time.

We also all want to ride at a pace that we are comfortable with.

These training and development sessions help facilitate all of this.
