TOUGH-looking bikers ditched their leathers and got in touch with their feminine side.

They showed they were game for a laugh by donning frocks for a charity evening at The Weaver's Arms, Halliwell.

And the women dressed as schoolgirls.

Proceeds from the Saturday night event at the Brunel Street pub will go to the special care baby unit at the Royal Bolton Hospital.

Alison Davies, one of the organisers, said: "It was brilliant. Quite a few of the blokes dressed up as women. One even wore a pink tutu!

"I think they enjoyed themselves, which is a bit worrying.

"We decided to help the special care baby unit because we all have children and we knew we would be helping local people."

Regulars managed to raise more than £115 in donations and businesses, including Laserquest, Hollywood Bowl and Atlantis nightclub, donated prizes for a raffle.

Landlord Billy 'Mop' also handed over a crate of beer as a prize.

The regulars are hoping to hold a vampire night at Hallowe'en, when the bikers will put in their false fangs and blood.
