A special donation event occurred on Tuesday morning at Pattaya School Number 7 on Sukhumvit Road in Jomtien.  Mr. Rick Bevington, from Canada, who is well known for representing Santa Claus every year in Pattaya, paid a visit together with representatives from the Pattaya Sports Club.  Their mission was to hand over 30 bicycles to deserving students at the school, who had to travel some distance to get to and fro school each day, but unfortunately their families could not afford means of transport for them.  Therefore, Rick set up a programme back in 2004 called Bikes 4 Tykes, to purchase new and old bicycles which he would personally repair and hand them over to students at various schools in Pattaya.  After the ceremony the team then went on to School Number 4 to deliver another batch of bikes for tykes at the school.
