PLVSC 9th Annual Easter Egg Run
Saturday, 25th March 2006
The Fleet Centre, Fleet Way, Fletton, Peterborough, PE2 8DL

We could not have hoped for such a great day. The weather during the week had been miserable, but with just a little overnight rain, we woke to a beautiful sunny spring morning with rain forecast for late afternoon. Perfect.

Club members met up from 9.30am to meet the stall holders, food stall, Police motorcycle riders and to generally set up. Scooters from all over started arriving from 10.30am.

Designed by Terry The Mod

Some of the clubs who attended and signed in included Billy No Mates SC, Bedford Pilgrims SC, Cromwell Cruisers, Cow and Chicken SC, Ronnie Biggs, Mansfield Monsters SC, Burton Brewers, Market Harborough, Kettering Massive SC, AFSC (Armed Forces SC), Spalding SC, Holbeach, Lifestyle SC, Finedon SC, Norwich SC, Strangetown SC, Blue and Gold SC, Leicester Phoenix, Leicester Second Coming, Full Circle SC.

They're starting even younger these days or is it just that we're getting older?!

With the rogues gallery of trophy winners done for another year it was on with the business of the longest/largest PLVSC Egg Run ever with an unbias count from a non-PLVSC member of about 230 riders taking part and delivering more than 500 Easter eggs.

And we're away ...

Snaking around the parkway

Our first stop at The Manor Respite Home, where valuable temporary respite care is made available for children with special needs to allow parents and carers to take a break. The children were over-joyed to see the scooters and Easter eggs.

As far as the eye could see - an amazing sight ...

We couldn't fit everyone on the steps this year for the usual photograph and not all the scooters/scooterist could fit into The Sue Ryder Hospice parking area. Sue Ryder will use all the Easter eggs presented to them at their annual fund-raising egg hunt on April 13th. Without the eggs the event would not be so effective. Last year they raised over £1,400. Hopefully with the huge amount of eggs given, this year's total should exceed last year. Thanks also go out to Waitrose (Peterborough) and The GMB Union (Peterborough Branch) for egg donations and to

Pete Revell at Classic Gold for advertising the event and collecting egg donations.

Thank you to the three Police motorcycle riders, without their support our ride through the streets of Peterborough would not happen.

Well done to everyone who attended and donated - you all made it a huge success.
Thank you from all of us at PLVSC.

The evening started at 7.30pm ... kicking off with a varied selection of classic/modern scooterist tracks courtesy of Top scooterist DJ 'Tony Class'

Live Band 'Eton Rifles' raised the roof by playing a Mod set followed by a Ska set to include cover tracks from The Jam, The Who, The Small Faces, The Specials, The Selecter and more!

Thank you to everyone who attended the evening do, especially those that bought raffle tickets. £100 was raised for Anglia One (our local Air Ambulance).

Shouts go out to the following scooter clubs (who signed in - apologies if we miss any clubs from this following list): Ronnie Biggs, Burton Brewers, Trojan Skinheads, Blue and Gold, Finedon SC, Kettering Massive, Lifestyle SC, Billy No Mates SC, Full Circle SC, and Northampton's Strangetown SC who won the trophy for the Best Turned Out Club.

Corky and Sherrie visited the Amazon Children's Ward at Peterborough District Hospital the following Monday morning and took chocolate Easter eggs for the children being cared for on the ward.

Hello everyone, what a great day yesterdays Easter egg run was, even if I do say so myself! We had a superb turnout of scooters for the egg run from numerous scooter clubs and individual riders. Too many clubs to mention at this time. We also had a great turnout for the evening do at The Fleet. Even the weather was good to us! I would like to thank on behalf of PLVSC everyone who donated eggs, turned up for the egg run, turned up for the evening do or helped in anyway on the day. Your support was much appreciated with a record amount of eggs being donated and a record turnout of scooters, with a last count by a non-PLVSC member being 236. Great effort by all. We would also like to thank The Fleet for the venue, Eton Rifles for a superb gig and Tony Class for another great nights dj-ing. Also the Peterborough Police for the escort around our City, Royal Mail for the loan of the van and Adrian (Black Adder) Murphy for volunteering to drive the van. I personally would like to thank all PLVSC members for their support and help on the day which helped to make (I hope you agree) it a great day for everyone. Especially to Sherrie who without her fantastic contribution the Egg Run would struggle to take place. Oh sorry, two more thank-yous have to be said, one to Waitrose in Peterborough for the donation of £100 of Easter eggs and another to The Peterborough Branch of The GMB Union who between them (with a little bit of begging included!) donated over 100 eggs and chocolate bits and pieces to our cause. We also raised £100 on the raffle which will be donated to The East Anglian Air Ambulance. Thanks again for all your help and support, see you next year. Corky...PLVSC

See you all next year for our
10th Anniversary Easter Egg Run - Saturday, 31st March 2007!
