Skok Sunday Tea and Cake?
Me, Graham and Richard will be passing through London mid afternoon on Sunday, if any Skoks fancy a meet for tea and cake? We'll be calling in to a few Vespa dealers to collect dealer stamps as part of the Vespa Trophy en route to Mantova, so we could put Scootec on the list if that's a good meet point?
