A Very Brief History

We celebrated our 50th anniversary in 2005, which is quite an achievement considering we have been having weekly Thursday meetings since 1955, when a group of Lambretta owners decided to form a club after a trip to Windsor Castle.
 
  It might seem surprising now but meetings first took place in a Church Hall in Luton, with a membership of 60 + men and women.

Interests within the club were largely split between members taking part in weekend ride outs and rallies and scooter sport in all forms.
Many members competed regularly at the Isle of Man scooter week, reliability trials, scrambling and track racing, and it was their exploits that kept the club going in the “lean” 1970’s scooter scene.

In more recent times we have been involved in the organisation of many different events, including scooter meets , namely the Beds Scooter Scene at Henlow that has evolved into the Pilgrims SC, and the Watling Street Meet in Dunstable.
Also scooter scrambling , skill rides and road trials, all helping to bring the local scooter community together.

Our 50th Birthday Weekender was a convergence of both old and new, which is quite unique in the scooter scene, and important for the next 50 years!
