New Age Jam in Saltney , March 24th

Club member Dave Buckley has been in touch to let us know that he is promoting a night at The Saltney Sports and Social Club . He has booked the Jam tribute band "New Age Jam "and got our mate Mark to do the decks . Its all in aid of charity for Cancer ,so lets hope as many of us as possible can make it .Saturday 24th of March is the date , it coincides with Gingers Egg Run so it will be a good end to a hard days ride ! Dave will call in to our club night on Tuesday with some tickets . He tells me 150 out of 200 have already sold . Good Luck to him and we hope its a success

Thanks to Graham for the update info on the blog site and also for making the blogsite adress laminated cards that we handed out at the meeting on Tuesday night . Great turnout of 13 members and with 2 on scooters it was good for a cold February night . We were all surprised because we half expected to be the only one to turn up ! Next rideout will be Gingers egg run on March 24 th ,saturday ,meeting at the Grosvenor Arms at 10 oclock . Hope to see you before that at the Tuesday meets .All the best Dave.

Isle of Man Scooter Rally - Booking Details.

I called in to Barry Turners yesterday to pick up some scooter spares, while I was there I also picked up the information fliers for the Isle of Man rally in July, so I am posting it on here for everyone's information.

The only change as far as I know is that The Castle Mona Hotel has now gone into receivership so you will therefore not be able to book rooms there and the evening entertainment will not be held there now, but Barry is sorting out a new venue for this.

Northern Aces - Chester Rally

Just found out about this one, The Northern Aces S.C. will be holding a scooter rally at Chester Rugby Club, over the week-end of the 27th to 29th of July, which is the same week-end as the North Wales Scooter-Fest, the following is an announcement from The Welsh Scooter-Scene Forum. It appears that there is now some friction between North Wales scooterists and the Scooter- Fest event organisers, with many scooterists now threatening to boycott the event. So maybe a Saturday run out to Boddelwyyden and a local Sunday ride in Chester might now be on the cards, when I find out more information I will post it on here.

'We are holding a Rally At Chester Rugby Club 27-29 Jul 2007.£10 entry including:- Camping ,showers, a couple of bands, custom show, late (if not all)night food stalls. It's gonna be a pretty basic affair , but by holding it in Chester it means B&B,s are abundant for the softies. The all day drinkers get a city centre to pub crawl & the tourists get to see lots of roman stuff.Yes I know it's in england, we are a border club and have a dozen members that cross over into gods country to wear our colours with pride. So out of respect for them I totally supported the venue choice(much to they're surprise) simply because of the amenities we can offer to people.Does this mean we are no longer supporting scooterfest? too right!Most of the events at scooterfest are on sunday afternoon, which is about as much use as a square wheel to most scooterists.There is a list of things, but i'm not looking to list them here as it's a public forum.Suffice to say this is an event run by scooterists for scooterists with no members of the NASC making personal financial gain. As soon as I get a flier I'll post it on the site.Ride safeDaz'

Here is the official flier for the event - click on the image below.

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.

Chester Scooter Club

Hi scooter fans !
just a reminder theres a do in the grosvenor arms this Saturday night the 16th ,Pat has laid on music with Timmy on the decks so should be good .Sunday morning is our toy run to the Countess Hospital meeting at the Grosvenor Arms @12 am to leave @12.30 ,so lets hope we get a dry day and a good turnout of scooters ,see you soon , Dave.

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.
