Bikes will assemble at the Family Hotel at 10.30am and from 11am make their noisy and colourful way along Hovell Street and down the main street to remind people they can give toys to the Salvation Army Christmas appeal, suitable for children 0-14.
The procession will finish with a barbecue at Albert Park where people can leave toys in the Salvation Army truck and stay for a bite to eat (donation).
Toys or money can also be left at Toy World and with Kate O'Brien at the Salvation Army store in Hovell Street.
Anyone wishing to donate toys can also have them picked up from their home by calling 0487 423 134 or 0427 931 727.
The Salvation Army sorts toys into age groups and invites parents to the church to choose toys suited to their children.
Any parent who needs presents this Christmas can call in and put their name down at the Salvation Army store.
This is the 15th year the Toy Run has operated in Coota, in tandem with many other country towns and suburbs that have branches of the Ulysses Club.
The Ulysses Club Inc. is a motorbike club for over 45s, with the motto "Grow Old Disgracefully". Licensed riders of all ages are invited to join Saturday.
Members who gathered for a publicity shot this week included Pat and Bill Teale, Mark Loiterton, David Batholomew, Kate O'Brien, John Simpfendorfer, Lyell Jenkins and Doug Hulford.
