New Brighton Run 2006 - Photos

New Brighton Run

Just wondered if everyone had seen these New Brighton pictures from last May, showing some of our lads arriving at The Fort. It seems a long time ago now, roll on the 2007 scooter season.

As with the other web albums pictures, click on the image and then select slideshow.

Christmas Toy Run to The Countess

Just to add to what Dave has already said, it was a rather wet but very enjoyable day and grateful thanks must be given to all the generous scooterists for the many Christmas gifts which were donated today to the sick children at The Countess Hospital, Chester.

In particular we would like to thank the various companies and businesses who went to a great deal of trouble and expense to gather together litterally sacks full of Christmas gifts for the children, in particular many thanks to -

• Browns of Chester.
  
• Allans Skip Hire.
  
• Royal House Chemist.
  
• The Grosvenor Arms.
  
• Select Tyres, Gwersyllt.
  
• Supertune Ltd, Chester.
• Muir Homes.
  

It truly was a fantastic turnout of scooters on a rather changeable day, I know Dave has mentioned 27 scooters, but I think at one point there were as many as 35, with some having travelled a considerable distance to join us, thank you all for coming.

Scooter Video

Thought some of you might like to see this atmospheric video, which really catches the feeling of scootering in the 50's + 60's in Italy, also some good old and new Vespa factory shots. You need your sound on.

By the way Corradino D'Ascanio (the guy drawing on the board) was the main design engineer firstly for Lambretta and then for Piaggio.

Just a quick edit on your post Dave, I have checked the weather forecast for Sunday's Toy Run and it says "Sunny Periods, Breezy, and Cool at 7 Degrees Celsius", so fingers crossed that the rain will keep off.

Well folks what a superb toy run to the childrens hospital today ,allcredit to simon (carsi ) and his fellow organisers for a good rideout with the bikers,it was great to see a bit of good humoured banter in the Gardeners Arms afterwards . It was a shame that afew more local scooterists didnt turn up,when lads came from St Helens and Birkenhead and Wrexham ,but the turnout must have been close on 200 and Mike Wilford has filmed some of it .Lets hope we get a good attendance for the mod/soul night @ Grosvenor Arms on Sat. 16th and our own club toy run on Sunday 17th

Countess Hospital Easter Egg Run 2006

Thought I would post this photo of the assembled club members and Pat from The Grosvenor just before we set off to The Countess last Easter. It seemed a nice smiley picture to remember the day and most of the regular members were present.
