A Great Day Out ! click on pics to see full size
Fourteen Scooters left Chester@ 10.15 ,including Tony and mates from Cloud 9 and Don from Wigan for an easy,sunny ride to the Raven truck stop Cafe at Whitchurch for breakfast .We met up with a group from Crewe and set off for Shrewsbury at about 11.45 .Detour off the A49 due to an accident ,then a bit of a detour into Shrewsbury town trying to find the venue (sorry lads ! )The Red Barn pub is a good venue for a scooter do (if you can find it !)with ample car parks for the stalls ,bouncy castles ,BBQ and lots of scooter parking ,although this year the parking was also on the road and pavements ,with many more scooters attending . Highlight of the afternoon was Gavin winning £30 as third prize in the raffle only to be upstaged moments later by Billy winning second prize of £50, after I pulled his ticket out !(we wont be invited back ! )
We decided on a different route back via Ellesmere ,leaving the Red Barn about 4pm and stopping at the lake side cafe at Ellesmere for coffee and a seat in the sun by the waters edge . John from Deeside,a mate of Ians joined us for the ride home .Graham mysteriously dissapeared on the route home (we think he just wanted to give the scoot a good thrashing ! )and joined up again at the lake . Once we got to Wrexham we split up for N.Wales and Chester with Don still facing a long solo ride back to Wigan . Thanks to all who rode with us and special thanks to all the Severnside members for putting on such a good day for scooterists. Dave .

Good write up and photos Dave, yes it was a smashing day and a really enjoyable ride. What's Wilf doing in that last photo ?, he's either working for the CIA and speaking into a secret michrophone or snorting coke !!
