We only rode down for the one night, so there aren’t many photos. The A5’s went mad with their stickers, one of which is featured below….
Sarah was there with baby Joe, who is so cute!
The custom show had some nice scooters and I was particularly impressed by Gladiator, which is why there are so many photos of it!
Saturday evening
It was nice to see some old faces in the evening – including Big Bill who brought his wife Mandi for her first rally.
There were three bands, notably 9 Below Zero, which Jo was very excited about seeing. She managed to sneak backstage for some photos – I only managed to get a couple of Dennis singing – but I wasn’t a big fan anyway. In my opinion there were too many bands – three in total – and the DJ’s didn’t get started til 1.15am, by which time most of us were ready for bed!
I think that one band is plenty, and would prefer rally organisers went for quality rather than quantity. Maybe I should start a thread in the letters page in Scootering…..
Sunday
Poor Sean broke his clutch cable on the way home, and Lee saved the day with a spare nipple!

Old Blue Vespa rally diaries
This is one of the rally diaries that appeared on my old website, BlueVespa.com, back in the 2000s.
I'm starting to put these on Diary Of A Detour so that everyone can take a wander down memory lane and relive the revival of my scooter club, the Midhurst Detours, and the fun we got up to back then.
Here's a handy link to them all, by year, for ease of reference!
(More years will be added soon!)
