The annual Bulldog Bash held in Long Marston, Warwickshire is a long running tradition organised and coveted by the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club.
However, as anyone in the biking world knows, during the 2007 event Gerry Tobin, a Hells Angel, was shot dead on the M40 as he rode home from the Bash. Seven British members of a rival gang, the American Outlaws Association, are currently jailed for the murder.
This has given rise to calls from authorities who believe this incident, and the lethal hatred between the rival gangs could be “associated with serious crime”.
As a result, the four day long event which attracts over 10,000 people is in danger of being banned. Watch this space…
Did Bill Holland’s wife run off with a biker? It seems he’s taking this whole issue way to far, the propoganda failed to work on Stratford Council and now he’s going full throttle to ban the event. There has never been any violence at the Bulldog, yes Gerry Tobin was shot, but that was on the Motorway. Bill Holland has said he wants the Bulldog banned because of the danger of violence……on that basis shouldnt travelling on the tube be banned too in case you get shot at point blank range by a cop as Jean de Menenez did……or ban the Notting Hill Gate carnival, football matches, pubs and clubs? Utter bullshit. Just another meglamaniac on the loose.
