Well today everyone would have been heading to the ferries and getting very wet if Merseyside is anything to go by. Many people have been asking will the rally take place next year and if so on what date? We are pleased to announce that the Isle Of Man rally will be taking place on June 25th to June 27th 2021. We are also happy to confirm that this year's band, Heavy Sol from Leicester, have agreed to switch the booking to next year's rally.

The IOM Steam Packet Co. have the dates for next year so you may be able to reserve your places if you email your preference on accommodation, dates and travellers details to info@steampacketholidays.com.

HEY HO LET'S GO !!

Time to get our traditional Thursday Ride Outs going again ,before the summer is gone ! Any club member who fancies an ice cream at Parkgate on Thursday July 2nd,should meet at Clubbies at 11am .We will probably go on to West Kirby,see what the weather does.Social distancing,masks,gloves etc., are all a good idea and we have no idea what the food and drink and toilet situation will be like on the day.

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.

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.

Quarantinia !!

Saw this on Facebook, thought it was amusing.

Cheeky English Ride Out

As it was a lovely day today, me and Bernie had a little tour of the Wirral, Parkgate and West Kirby. Not much social distancing going on, the beach was rammed with families at West Kirby, oh and the ice cream shop was open 😄 Come on Wales, let's get the lock down lifted soon so we can all get out. 😞

Police are looking for Andy Swarb

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 😁

Very entertaining video from youtube - i've been throwing some shapes since watching this...

There are loads of great videos on Chaz Morks youtube channel to while away a few hours during lockdown.

Hello all,just to let you know Barry Turner at the scooter warehouse will be open tomorrow Saturday 2nd May,hours 9.30 to midday,Barry has set up border tables for safe distance and wipes and gloves are also provided if required,keep safe Bernie

IOM Scooter Rally 2020 - Cancelled

From NWBA facebook page:

Isle of Man Scooter Rally Event's Page - IOM Scooter Rally 26-28 June 2020

2 hrs

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.
