Keith it was a great event so well done to you. Keeping it in the town was great as it allowed people and visitors unaware of the event to see the scooters and buy merchandise. A small stage with live music would be great with the addition of a mobile bar to keep things together. I do appreciate it is all about cost but we’ll done for you enthusiasm and hard work.

I am keen to receive feedback from the general public and local businesses on this event so I can make it better each year.
This is our 2nd year and we will be doing it again next year so feed back is important to us as we aim to bring a diverse range of visitors into the town for local businesses to benefit from the footfall
