A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY

 

The Edinburgh Blues S.C. were founded in 1979 as scooters enjoyed resurgence north of the border thanks to the film Quadraphenia.

The name comes from our love of Blues pills, Blues music, and Blue women. The club has always had a strong road going tradition attending most national rallies over the years as well as travelling to European rallies and being very active members of the Vespa Club of Britain and the Lambretta Club of Great Britain. Our travels have brought us numerous 'Furthest Traveled' awards since we started and in 1989 we were the N.S.R.A. 'Club of the Year'. Our journeys have helped us establish close friendships with many individuals and clubs over the years like the Olympics, Mansfield Monsters, Route 46 and Damsels in Distress as well as allowing us to forge close links with the Swiss scooter scene. After a couple of quiet years the club has become one of the biggest rally going scooter club in the world. (well probably). This has brought problems as well but in the whole 99% of all our members are scooter riding rally going fools. In 1999 there was alot of people on the scene that where tired of there club not being bothered to travel anywhere so to keep these and solo riders informed associate branches pooped up around the UK and now the world.
