Egg Run 2003

6th Annual Easter Egg Run - 22nd March 2003

We met at The Bee Hive Pub before setting off at just after 12.15pm to take Easter Eggs and some toys to The Manor Respite Home, The Sue Ryder Home and the Children's Ward of the Peterborough District Hospital. We counted 150 scooters for the ride out. What a huge buzz for those taking part and for the onlookers who waved us on as we rode through the streets of Peterborough. Only with a slight delay at The Manor Respite Home (due to the Police outriders having to attend an incident in the city) the ride out went smoothly. Easter egg donations were given by individual scooterists and non-scooterists together with our main sponsor Waitrose and other supermarkets (Sainsburys and Asda) and the various scooter clubs to include Aldershot A5 Tribesmen SC, Lincoln SC, Corby Steelman SC, Leicester Phoenix, Leicester Second Coming, Kettering Massive, Blue and Gold SC, Peterborough Patriots SC, Northampton Strangetown SC, Ronnie Biggs SC, Isle of Ely SC, together with The Specials Scooter Club, East London and VFM*.

There was a great turn out in the evening with over 200 people coming through the doors. Clubs that attended and made themselves known to us included Aldershot A5 Tribesmen SC, Lincoln SC, Corby Steelman SC, Kettering Massive, Peterborough Patriots SC, Northampton Strangetown SC, Ronnie Biggs SC, Blue and Gold SC, Isle of Ely SC. Apologies if any club is missed out but we are happy to update this section if you let up know that you also attended - cheers. Entertaining us on the night were live band, Repeat to Fade, with DJ's Tony Kreer and Keith Wilcox.
