Guest paulf Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 For all those that are into things Scooters as well as their Soul, the end of this month brings probably what is the best European Scooter rally of the year - Holiday in Holland Check out the web site for details... https://www.holidayinholland.org.uk/ I went there for the first time last year and it was a real eye opener. Lots of kids (ok quite a few 30/40 somethings) from all over Europe wanting to have a great time. The venue for the weekend has excellent facilities and as would be expected for any true scooter event it has a Northern Soul room (on both nights). This year I have volunteered my DJing services to Sticky and the Speed Demons SC (event organisers) and must say that I am really excited about the chance to spin some tunes with some of lads over from Germany. If anyone has thought about it I would highly recommend - you won't be disappointed. More people are catching on each year. Just need to make sure you come on a scooter (i'll be on mine).

Guest Roccia Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 I've never been to HIH, but a lot of friends told me is a fantastic rally. With a dedicated northern soul room it is even more tempting for me... But this year I have to miss Isle Of Wight as well, 'cos I'll be in England the first week end on Sepember for Plinston and the South Coast Alldayer. Maybe next year... Ride safe!

Guest Trifle Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 This is THE best rally (IMFHO). Third year for me. Being abroad just makes it that bit better. I think it may have outgrown the venue though!! I'm glad Andy's going... he usually puts my tent up for me... crooked and facing the wrong way, but .... still ... Mischief, wojja mean missing IOW??

Guest ScooterNik Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I'll be there, Lancashire to Harwich (I worked out it saves me about £150 if i do that instead of Hull), drunk for three days and then back. Sounds like a GOOD plan to me Link to comment

Save another £90 quid for beers! See yer there Link to comment
Guest ScooterNik Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 DAMN!!!!!!! :angry: Missed that one. Mind you i think its going to be the thick end of 900 miles round trip so that will do me? Actually, with my navigating it will probably be nearer 1200 Link to comment

Guest Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Hi, Simon Cuerden here, I am a newbie on here and I have joined to find the DJ who has just recently visited Borculo in Holland to DJ during the scooter run. I would like to apologize for my drunken behavior, I was responsible for the gaggle of people asking you to play the Snake and I am also the dickhead who told you that all these tunes were available on CD. Kudos to you mate for taking it in your stride, you played an excellent set that was enjoyed by all! I closed my eyes and for a moment it was like being back in Imber. Yours Simon Cuerden www.tafsc.com Link to comment

Yours Simon Cuerden www.tafsc.com link Simon - You and your mates had me in fits. I really had a great time and I can't recommend the w/e enough. My favourite 5 tunes of the w/e: 1. Joe Hicks - Don't it make you feel funky 2. Eddie Holman - Eddies My Name 3. Dean Courtney - I always need you 4. Edwin Starr - Don't tell than I'm Crazy 5. Frankie Valli - The Night I hope they sort out the complaining neighbour for next year and perhaps one day the beer spillers on the dance floor will get the message but we live in hope. Who knows I might even get to Holland on the first attempt without having to rebuild my engine! Cheers to all that made it along. Paul Franklin Link to comment
