Jesters ,Leek (drown! )2009

Sunday morning saw ten scooters leave Clubbies for Jesters at Leek,first stop Vicars Cross for Gav to refuel (its an old tradition !)It rained most of the way there,this was due mainly to Elvis having won the pools and bought himself a state of the art waterproof suit !We arrived at 12.15 and the town square was packed with scoots despite the weather.The site is ideal,with a good pub backing onto the square do great beer (hydes)and good food quickly.The band this year were the Modfellas who did a great mix of the favourite tunes .Barry Turner commented this would be a great band for Dave Buckleys Chester do's,and I couldnt agree more . Weather had dried up and the sun appeared briefly while the band were on and we were some of the last to leave at 3pm straight into some of the worst prolonged rain we have had for a while.The A500 out of Stoke was flooding on the inner lane in parts making safe riding difficult ,but all the scoots kept going fine although we were all getting soaked .Thanks to Andy for picking up my disc "i" cap up after I hit a huge pothole in Chester on the slip road to go round the park at Dee bars !Its a killer !Thanks to all who rode with us in less than ideal conditions . Dave . Update on the Modfellas,just been on their website and they are booked to play Divas Show Bar in Chester on September 12th .A date not to be missed !
