WREXHAM RIDEOUT

Hi just to let you all know that the WREXHAM S/C ride out from the walnut tree pub up to the horseshoe pass is on SUNDAY JUNE THE 6TH this year, two hundred and sixty scooters turned up last year and were treated to some fantastic weather the sun was out all day so let hope for some more this year not sure what time the ride out is leaving but i would get there before 12.30 i think it was 1 o clock last year, ride safe

Two local(ish) events coming up.

Wednesday Evening Rideout to Neston May 12th

Steve from Heswall has joined the " Too Much Too Young " scooter club at Neston and has asked Elvis and me if we fancy paying them a visit .As they meet on Wednesday evenings at the Lady Hamilton pub in Little Neston we thought we would organise a ride over there next Wednesday . Anyone wanting to go should meet at Clubbies at 7 ish for a departure at 7.30 prompt . It will take us half an hour to get there. Butties may be available !The Lady Hamilton is in Henley Road ,Little Neston ,ch64os5

Our Tuesday night club meeting is on as usual at Clubbies ,the rideout is an extra .

Dave I'm up for this if the weather is dry, by the way I had a look on Google maps and I think this postcode could be nearer - CH64 9SE. It's by a row of shops and a chippy off West Vale, Neston - Graham.

Llandudno Rally,May 2010.

 
The weather turned out to be much better than the forecast and the nine scooters that left the Chester area all arrived without getting wet at all .When we met at Clubbies we had a new face with us,Billy on his T5 ,plus Carl,Gav,and Nico with Helen on the pillion ,all on Vespas,but never mind ,no clubs perfect !!Nico reckond I had let them down by bringing a Lammie along !!We soon balanced things up picking up Bern and Tracey on the SX,then at ST Davids Hotel Brian ,Andy and Martin all on Lammies .We took the scenic route after a short burst up the A55 ,loosing Brian Andy and Martin at Lloc when Martin had a front wheel puncture(valve catching forks )good job Andy had a spare to lend .We all arrived at Venue Cymru (Theatre ) on the prom by 12ish ,had a coffee caught up with the "puncture outfit"and went in to the parts fair ,only £3 this time.The display of custom scooters was good(thanks to Billy for the photos),including Dangerous Dave Williams replacement for the stolen "Hunter not the Hunted",which is "Help for Heroes " Dave ,as an ex squadie ,had not only set up a stall to raise money for the charity ,but has had his Vespa painted to match .He told me later they had taken over £500 that day for the cause .Well done Dave and Julie .Lots of other Chester s.c. members were at the venue for the day,or staying over ,for the full weekend .Some on a day only pass started to head for home around 3.30 and another dry ,if somewhat cool ,ride home was experienced ! The Saturday evening entertainment was at several venues,with the Nomads s.c. running a do in the function room under the Regency Royal hotel ,which worked quite well until the bar staff were faced with a crowd of more than two people ,at which point they fell to pieces! Some were even drinking water from a tap somewhere as they were too thirsty to wait for service !! A move up to the main VFM do at 10pm was called for ,A charge of £6 on the door was good Value For Money ! As the downstairs bar had the "Northern " on and upstairs the mainroom with all the usual good atmoshere of a national scooter rally .The punk band "The Re-Offenders" came on at 11ish and did about an hours set of all the well known Punk tunes plus some unusual adaptations (their own ?) .Lots more familiar faces at this do and Chester sc were well represented (well done Dave weller Buckley ,always first up on the floor !)Folks who had been there on Friday night said it had been equally good,if not better than Saturday, I finally went deaf at about 12.45 and Jude and I bailed out ,but the dance floor was packed .Overall a great weekend for scooter enthusiasts,I will cetainly try to stay down there if they run it again in 2 years time .Well done to VFM ,NOMADS AND ALL from our Club as we gave it good support ! Dave .

FOR SALE

Right here we go big George Randells is selling his Lambretta GP 150 Italian H reg its an original UK bike because it has the battery tray with a 125 cc engine so its learner legal it is also Regestered as a 125 with DVLA but it has a AF 175 cc top end so it picks its feet up and keeps up with the traffic
so if anyone knows of someone looking for a scooter its taxed and tested and ready to ride for the summer he,s asked me to put it on here first so it could stay local but if needs be he will put it on EVIL BAY and make a small fortune to add to his already bulging bank account any questions regarding the scooter or his bank account give him a ring on 07760106095...... ps ride safe and see you all in Llandudno at the weekend.

Quadrophenia in Blacon

We have had a request from Ade and Lisa to support a production of Quadrophenia that the students of Blacon High School are staging on Tuesday 27th and Wednesday 28th April (next week). What they would like is for club members to arrive on their scooters just before the performance on the Tuesday night and hang around while the guests arrive .Anyone wanting to see the show is welcome .They would also like to have a scooter to put on the stage while the performance is on ,thats for both nights (it can be stored on the premises overnight if reqd.). George and Elvis have already offered scooters for the static display . This sounds like a job for Wilf and his mirrors to me !!Start time is yet to be confirmed with Lisa for Tuesday night on 07704 385807. Anyone who is local and could pop down for 15mins or so on their way to Clubbies would be very welcome . Dave .

Great Turn Out For The Easter Bunny Run

Thanks to everyone that turned out to support our Bunny Run to The Countess Hospital, an unofficial count was 96 scooters and other two wheeled vehicles leaving Clubbies. There were riders who had travelled from Rhuddlan, Southport and New Brighton as well as many other places in the north west. Also a big thanks for all the Easter Egg donations not only by local riders but by the local Chester businesses, there were enough eggs to fill a complete child's cot with the sides up and a bed. Thanks to everyone who bought raffle tickets, I'm not sure which charity will benefit, but I guess it will be one of Pat's from The Grosvenor.
And of course a big thank you to Pat and Andy at Clubbies for supporting the Scooter Club and providing the sandwiches after the run.

P.S. If anyone has any photos you can send them to me at gfox@freeuk.com and I will load them up (as my camera packed up after one shot)

great turnout for the annual Egg Run .Pat had opened up early for bacon butties and coffee as promised ,Frank Heath and co.from Wrexham s.c. turned up promptly to take full advantage of butties at only £1 each !The sunny morning brought clubs from as far afield as Bolton and Southport.Special mention to Vic who had ridden down from Southport with a couple of his mates,on his auto .He is now 81 years young and recovering from a recent stroke!To do forty miles each way on a cold day ,he's an example to all of us ,Ride safe old scooter buddy !
The generosity of people gets better every year with the egg donations ,special mention this time to Chester Exhaust Supplies for their massive contribution ,some of which will go to local charities other than the Countess Hospital .Thanks to all the clubs and individual riders who came and without whom it would be a poor event .I hope most of you can find yourselves on the photos some havent turned out quite right with a bit of "ghosting " on some of the prints ,for this I apologise !
