Bikers and members of the Patriots (Defence Force Motorcycle Club) and Dove Hawkes Bay held a rally yesterday in the Hastings CBD against violence towards women.
The Patriots is an international motorcycle club for male and female serving regular and reserve Defence Force personnel and former staff.
The first New Zealand Patriots Chapter was formed in 1998 by a group of serving and associated RNZN personnel. Since 1998, five other chapters have started around the country.
All chapters also observe similar guidelines of the NZ Defence Force.
