About Us
The story so far ....................
The Odd Mod Squad started in October 1997 meeting at the Fox on the Hill. Les Bee (AKA "Our Leader") had put an advert into Scootering looking for like - minded people and he got a great response. However, the Fox wasn't really suitable and luckily we found Phil the Pub and moved to The Stage Door, behind the Old Vic at Waterloo SE1.
We stayed there for a year and the Christmas party is still talked about today ! We moved to The Cats Back for the summer but it was too small, and we ended up at Phil's new pub The Nags Head, Rye Lane Peckham. during the summer we have have monthly rides, as well as weekend events. We are called the Odd Mod Squad because, wait for it ---------
we're all odd !!
We are all types and ages, parkas, monkey & desert boots are still a way of life. We ride mainly classic Lambrettas & Vespas. The membership is now over 50 ( only a bit lower than the average age ). Subs are a hefty £2 a month !
In early 2002, Phil the Pub could no longer resist the lure of the Costas, & the Nags Head days were numbered for us as a club. We searched the length & breadth of the land (well almost) and eventually found The Porcupine at Mottingham. Here we were made very welcome by landlord, bar staff & regulars. The future for the club B-B-Q's & other events during the summer months looks good. We meet here on the first Wednesday of every month @ 8.0 pm. If you fancy coming along one club night we would be very pleased to meet you. Any visiting scooterist or prospective member is most welcome.
But there is unrest, so watch this space ........................
HOT NEWS !
As of the next meeting, on 4th August 2004, we shall be moving to our new pub,
The Change of Horses, Farnborough Village, Kent - see you there.
This has now become our regular meeting place, first Wednesday each month.
Sadly at the end of 2007, our leader for the last ten years Les Bees decided to stand down. All members thank Les for his efforts to make the club, one of the best scooter clubs in the London area over the last few years.
So as one door closes, so another one opens step forward our new leader Ciara Penny to keep the club going forward.
