Post by: normal rules on September 09, 2022, 08:23:44 pm
And so the footy is off.
Stuck for something to do?
Many on here will have no idea that Donny has one of the longest running scooter clubs in the country. This weekend the Donny Hunters are celebrating their 50th anniversary at the Parklands Social club on Wheatley Hall Road. There is a do tonight. Music tomorrow afternoon by local band the Superphonics and a do tomorrow night also. Daytime entry for the sat is just £3. Food onsite also.
Weather looks ok too.
A load of us from out of county are making our way there tomorrow to help them celebrate.

Fond memories of Donny Hunters. Half a dozen of us scooterers from Wheatley used to park up with them on the waste ground in Donny town centre that now houses The Colonnades. Happy days!

Northern Soul fans have adopted a Scooter theme these days, although I don't remember any connection back in the day.
