SCOOTER enthusiasts who adore classic Vespas and Lambrettas from the 1960s have formed their own club.

The Astley-based Blue Smoke Scooter Club now has 15 members and is run from its headquarters at the Cart and Horses pub where, on Saturday, October 2, they are staging a custom show and an open day from 1pm.

"We're hoping people who once had scooters will see our machines and maybe get interested again," said club spokesman Jamie Langlands.
