Easter egg donation

A little over a hundred Easter eggs where safely delivered today to the children's hospital ward Countess of Chester,the staff where overwhelmed with such a generous donation,so well done to everyone who donated for there support,,

Friday, March 19, 2021

Easter Egg Donations

Bernie has asked me to put up a post regarding Easter Egg donations to The Countess of Chester. 

Due to Covid we obviously can't hold our usual scooter event this year, so please don't ride to the Hospital on Sunday 28th. However Tracey has been in touch with the childrens ward at the hospital and they would very much like to receive some Easter Eggs for the children.

So Bernie has asked if anyone would like to donate an Easter Egg, please could you give Bernie a ring and drop an egg off at his house in Saltney, Chester, or if anyone would like to come down to Clubbies pub car park in Handbridge to drop off an egg on Sunday 28th March at 12-30, (socially distanced of course), Bernie will be there to receive your donation.

Another option is that Bernie is prepared to donate an egg on your behalf  if you give him a ring and ask him to do that.

E10 unleaded petrol

It appears that E10 petrol is being introduced during the summer.

From Gov.UK

During summer 2021, the standard (or ‘Premium’) petrol grade in the UK will become E10.

E10 petrol contains up to 10% renewable ethanol, which is added to reduce CO2 emissions and help tackle climate change.

E10 petrol is compatible with almost all (95%) petrol-powered vehicles on the road today, including all cars built since 2011.

If your vehicle or equipment is not compatible with E10 fuel, you will still be able to use E5 by purchasing the ‘Super’ grade petrol from most filling stations. 


I know it will come as a surprise, but the E5 Super grade petrol is expected to be more expensive...

Amusing Scootering Article - March 2021 Publication

 My birthday present subscription copy of Scootering dropped through the door today. On the front a wonderful Series 1 custom, which for once I really liked. Reading the story of the build inside, I was amused by the comment in the owner details section on page 24.

The owner Gary told a story about his dad breaking down on his TV 175 back in the day, with which he had loads of problems. One time when it broke down he was so mad with it that he pushed into a farmers field and left it there, screaming that it was a piece of shit and never wanted to see it again and ended up walking home. He left it for a few days and then decided to go back and get it and it was still there in the field exactly where he had left it. When he was asked if he was surprised that it was still there he said, no not really nobody wanted them back then as they were deemed useless 😀

Euro Lambretta 2021, Fort William, Scotland. 11-13th June 2021

 Just received my copy of Jet Set magazine which includes the application form for Euro Lambretta in Scotland next year. Does anyone fancy this event? I was not considering riding that distance obviously, but we could hire a large Transit van to get at least 4 scooters in the back. Please leave comments below over Christmas if anyone is interested as the application forms have to go back in by January 11th 2021. We should all have had our Covid jabs by then, so I think the event will go ahead.

Isle of Wight Scooter Rally,2020

The unofficial Isle of Wight Rally went ahead without official blessing over the weekend.The authorities used the Police to ban any bar or pub in Ryde from putting on any any musical entertainment .This was done in a last minute panic on wednesday night before the bank holiday on Friday.Other parts of the island were free to go ahead as normal .The vast majority of the visitors appeared to be obeying the social distancing rules.The weather was very kind to us,as usual, and we visited all the usual haunts during  the day.Ryde Castle staff really looked after us with evening meals.Lets hope all is back to normal for 2021. Scooter numbers are only guess work but there would have been over 300 on the Green on saturday afternoon with probably an equal number out and about at the same time.An unofficial ride out went ahead at one o'clock on Sunday with lots of spectators on the hill out of Ryde,probably taking five minutes to pass.I.O.W. just made for Scooters!

Official BSRA STATEMENT

Hello fellow scooterists as we all have had our full year of national scooter rallying cancelled due to the covid pandemic . I'm writing this with hope for next year ,that we can get back to our lifestyle of riding and participating in the great partying in our beautiful world . As we look at the organising of events for next year ,we fully understand that restrictions of large gatherings and live entertainment is very much up in the air ,and we cannot guarantee that we maybe in the same situation again having to cancel events . Many of the organisations of the BSRA Committee have had to sign up covid disclaimers with their venues and councils. Another problem we may face is said venues going under in these unsecured times.SO PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT NO BSRA ORGANISER CAN BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CANCELLED EVENTS DUE TO COVID RESTRICTIONS OR VENUES GOING BUST. And cannot be responsible for accommodation bookings if the rally is cancelled . (All of the organisers are scooterists and some have personally lost money this year on cancelled events )We are releasing our list of national rallies for 2021 earlier than the normal October custom show weekend to hopefully give us hope and give more notice to other smaller events that have faced the same situation. 

So here we go our list of scooterist organised events for scooterists

Nationals 2021

April 30-3rd May bank- Weston super mare

May 28-30th Whitsun bank - Kelso

NWBA - Updated 01/06

Another update:

Hi Everyone

( Cancelled )

Just a update with regards the NWBA signing on competition, in light of the current situation and with a lot of the NWBA club runs having to be cancelled. Some of the sponsors for the prizes, due to business not being very good at this moment have had to withdraw the prize funds, which I fully understand and would like to thank them for their support, that was given to the NWBA.

With this in mind and the fact that I am not sure how many runs will be able to take place, I have made the decision to cancel this years signing on competition. The competition will restart next season.

I would like to carry on with the signing on, at any of the runs that we are able to attend this year, although I think it will be very few, the signing on this year will be just for fun.

I was very pleased with the amount of people who have signed on, on the first few rides, I felt you all were just starting to enjoy it and it added something to the rides.

Hope you all fully understand this decision that has been made.

Thank you all for your support. Hopefully in the near future we can make a restart to the scootering scene in our area.


Posted by Steve on NWBA faceache:

Hi everyone

Hope you are all ok, I know alot of you are itching to get out on your scooters, I haven’t ridden mine since the lockdown and really looking forward to it.

With the current situation maybe starting to look a little better, and Wales maybe starting to lift their lockdown.

I was wondering if there would be a possibility, that all the club number ones / someone to represent the club, that in maybe in the very near future, we could organise a meeting, to discuss the future ( the remaining year) of scooter scene within the alliance.

What and how we would need to have in place, to be able to maybe, place a few runs on in the future, what restrictions we would needed have in place, etc etc.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hope to see you all soon.

End of Lockdown Maybe ?

I'm getting the feeling that the government are going to ease some of the lockdown next week and let us go out a bit more. Perhaps we should fuel up and polish our nuts ready for a Thursday pensioners ride out 😁

IOM Scooter Rally 2020 - Cancelled

From NWBA facebook page:

Isle of Man Scooter Rally Event's Page - IOM Scooter Rally 26-28 June 2020
We are very sorry to have to announce the cancellation of the Isle Of Man Scooter Rally 2020 due to the lethal Covid 19 virus.
Although this was looking the likely outcome, the Manx authorities made the decision yesterday to close the Villa Marina theatre until at least September.
We are hoping and already making plans to host the rally next year if everything falls into place. An update on this will follow soon.
We thank everyone for supporting the rally in such large numbers and hope to see you at this rally in the future.
The most important thing at this time is that everybody comes through this situation safely and we all get back to normal living.
The IOM Steam Packet are offering refunds but you might find at this busy time for them an email is a better method. Always quote your reference number however you contact them.
Thanks again and best wishes
Barry Turner.

Bad News

Due to the increase in the numbers of people forecast to contract the Corona virus the uk government has requested people not to meet up in Bars, Pubs etc. Because of this it's been decided to suspend our Tuesday night club meets until further notice. So tonights meeting is cancelled.
Tracey Griffiths has been in touch with the Countess Hospital,who advised us not to bring our usual Easter eggs on April 5th as planned, so our event is cancelled.
It is possible that we can organise our "club only" rideouts on Thursdays, or even on a weekend, providing we meet up avoiding pubs and cafes, bring your own butties ! Meanwhile keep in touch by posting in the "comments " box at the bottom of each post on this Blog Site.

Finally, we wish the Landlords and staff at the Grosvenor Arms all the best for a swift, healthy return to normal as fast as possible. Dave.

Carole Nash Show Pictures - 11/01/2020

Here's some pics from yesterday, sorry they are all a bit on the dark side. I found the show interesting from a wider angle than just scooters, as there was also some great engineering stalls for tools and equipment.

Carole Nash Classic Bike and Scooter Show - Sat Jan 11th+Sun Jan 12th

Hi folks, just wondering if anyone fancied going to the Carole Nash bike and scooter show over at Newark show ground. Tickets are only £10.00 to get in ( if bought off the internet). I am definitely going to go, not sure if I will go Saturday or Sunday yet, but I've got 4 seats going spare in my car if anyone fancies it. First come, first served, let me know.

Saturday 21st December - Northern Soul at the Naval Club


Christmas Toy Run 2019.

Many thanks to all those scooterists who attended on Sunday our 16th Toy Run ! Especial thanks to Stuart and Brad for hosting the event .Thanks also to Erika for driving all the toys to the hospital.This event was the first "Signing On " event for the NWBA scheme and seemed to go smoothly.Lots of individuals and a variety of clubs attended on a day that started well,weather wise,with 50 scooters leaving Clubbies car park for the run to the hospital.The weather turned very wet,causing a low number of scooterists returning for the hotpot food after the run. Thanks again to all involved .Dave.
