Re: Brighton May Day 1980 Hastings Coasters and Lincoln Survivors 66 SC
WoW! This brings back memories. I knew Tommy Chetwood, my ex husband was his mate.I remember going to Tommys place and there was a scooter in the front room being repaired, an amazing thing to see in a terraced house!
The "Survivors" certainly didn't begin in 66.
Tommy Chetwood, Richard Todd, Bogey, Ced,Mick Stark? These were the ones who created the club-sorry if I left any-one out.
Its quite sad looking back and sadder even to think that they're no longer involved. I know they were passionate about their scooters and the whole MOD thing.

Well thats what Tommy told us back in 79 and we believed him and why not ? They were the friendliest bunch of lads and lasses you could ever hope to meet .
I can remember Eric Hall, Geoff Fagg, Jane Burns and a girl called Steph....really nice people ...they ceratinly made us welcome when we went to Lincoln in 1980 for a weekend.
Yep top days they were !!!

I couldn't agree with you more, they really were great guys and gals. I wonder if Tommy was thinking about 1 of our members (had a Vespa) and was an original MOD back in the day.
Anyone go to the George and Dragon pub (can't remember name of road)thats were we used to go-great times ;-)

I remember the Lincoln lot dragging us down some Crypt like pub and then to some club above a pub in the town centre but I cant remember what it was called. They really showed us what Northern Soul was all about...to which im forever grateful....We came home with shitloads of Northern singles and albums that they gave us ...thats how genreous they all were.
Eric Hall is a legend down here and always will be ...great people all of them

Re: Brighton May Day 1980 Hastings Coasters and Lincoln Survivors 66 SC
 Back again. I definatly know the name of the "crypt"- Cornhill Vaults, many a time I got a little Pi****. Back in the late 70's there will be 2 different groups of people down there, one group were into rock, prog rock.....
the others were scooter lads and lasses with a heavy presence of Northern Soul fanatics.
For me it all began at the "Anersley Hotel" (can't remember how it was spelt) it played a lot of Northern Soul and I was hooked, I went with one of my school friends, her brother and his mates and thats how I met my ex husband ( Richard Todd), despite everything he was a great paint sprayer and did some fabulous customised jobs on scooters. At one point in our back garden we had 5 Lambs and 2 in the shed- rather sad but he was never the same after the crash.
I could tell some tales of when Quadrophenia came out-interesting times.

Hi Windy not sure if this string is still live, but I was a member of the 'Stylists' back in the day, from memory we used to meet up in Southbourne in Bournemouth.
