Mod's
or later Scooterists,
have both been present in
Tamworth since the late
1970's. However, it was in
the early 80's after
the release of the cult
film 'Quadrophenia' that
the Tamworth Scooter scene
really took off. Some of
the early Clubs to emerge
were the B5000 and
Atomic Shit Blasters.
Then,
in the mid 80's the B5000 Scooter Club
,
based just on the
outskirts of Tamworth in a
village called Polesworth (the
club has recently re-formed)
held regular doo's at
the venue known then
as the Top Club. This was
a regular disco and at the
time brought all Tamworth
& surrounding Scooterists together.

to Morecambe 1988
A local Band 'The Dream
Factory' started gigging
around this time and soon
found a following of
dedicated scooterists.
They performed at
venues all over the
country and even on
some scooter rallies.
Edwin Starr
'God Bless
his 00Soul', was also a
Tamworth resident and
could be seen regularly in
the town centre record
stores or usually driving
around in his Rolls Royce.

Tamworth Scooter Club originally
came about in the late 1990's. It was a
joint idea of many Tamworth scooterist new
and old, past clubs and present ! It was
an attempt to bring all Tamworth scooterists
together as one club and at it's peak 25 plus scooters were regularly attending
the weekly meets at the Castle Grounds.
But, as the millenium came and went so did
some of it's memebers, most returning
to there original circle of friends and
familiar social gatherings.

We also go by our
pseudo name 'Coastal
Trippers'. This is in
recognition of one of
Tamworth's earliest custom
scooters, a finely painted
Lambretta.
Although not a big Club,
we offer a large diversity
of the scooter scene,
details of which can be found in
this website, enjoy !!!
