There was
good news and bad for the Isle of Wight's mods and scooterists this week.
Lambretta
Day, scheduled for the May bank holiday, will not be able to go ahead as the
government's roadmap deems it too early in the year.
But, the
Island's own 'Modfather' Steve Robson, is confident that if the Covid guideline
relaxation goes to plan, the August Bank Holiday Scooter festival should be OK.
Every year
thousands of scooterists flock to the Isle of Wight to enjoy music and
ride-outs around the Island.
Lambretta Day
was established in 1999 with just a handful of scooter enthusiasts but the
annual event has grown hugely.
There are
live music performances, scooter displays and ride outs around the Island.
Proceeds go
to Tonic Music for Mental Health.
Steve told
the Isle of Wight County Press this week that it was a shame the May Lambretta
Day won't happen for a second consecutive year but he understood the reasons
why.
He said:
"We can't afford another lockdown so this has to be done correctly.
"If it all goes to plan we will hopefully have a good summer culminating in the rally at bank holiday time at the end of August."
