March 2010

Sorry
For what? For not doing a newsletter since December that's what. Been too busy to be honest.
So, now that we are well into the new year of 2010, we are starting to see some proper scootering functions on the horizon, so what are we all up to?

Inter County Ride Out's
Well the Inter County Rideouts are already underway with the next one on Satruday 20th March with the Tin Soldiers Egg Run.
Also we will be hosting the one after that on April 18th but there's no clear venue yet, last year we went to Henlow but I didn't know if anyone had any better ideas? Let me know.

Newport Pagnell Ride Out - Sunday 21st March
This is a short notice run to Newport Pagnell to a new "Magic of Motoring" shop with period machines. The guys launching it and there will be some famous cars / bikes etc on show and refreshments available from the local hotel.
Could be a great bit of craic on a Sunday afternoon if the weathers kind?

VMSC Show Coventry - Sunday 28th March
Yes the Vintage Motor Scooter Club's extravaganza is upon us again already! If you have never been this is a great show to go to as you have the opportunity to see the other side of scooter's from the 50's and 60's, not just the Vespa and Lamrbetta marques but also the Triumph's, Maicoletta's, Moto Rumi's etc.
Also, the car park is usually full of at least 400 to 500 scooters that have ridden there for the day so you will see lots of different machines!

Plan is to leave the Piazza at 08.30 fuelled up and stop for a fry up on the way.

Fancy some scootering toones for the Easter Bank Holiday?
Well never fear because The Flash & Dave have organised a Do at The Pad on Sunday 4th April with the Mad Mods & Englishmen playing live!!

This was a great night last time and is sure to be even better this time, so hey ho, let's GO!!
