Preston scooter clubs are starring in a charity calendar.

The glossy wall calendar has been created by cancer survivor Peter Reid, the owner of Scooter Moda scooter dealership in Preston city centre.

Peter was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2011. Following treatment at Rosemere Cancer Centre, he was given the all clear almost five years ago.

Peter is also the founder of Moda Fest, an annual two-day weekender of Mod music and scooters that brings enthusiasts from throughout the country to the Preston area.

The event is already on the 2023 calendar to make a return for its eighth year over the weekend of 7 and 8 July.

Through Moda Fest, Peter fundraises for Rosemere Cancer Foundation, which supports work at the centre at Royal Preston Hospital, as well as at another eight local hospital cancer units across Lancashire and Cumbria.

Peter is hoping sales of the calendar will raise at least a further £1,000 for the charity.

Peter said: “Each month features a photo of scooterists from clubs within the treatment catchment area covered by Rosemere Cancer Centre. Of these, the majority are from around Preston such as the Wild Cats,
Centurions, Chorley Scorpions, Tin Town and Tardy Gate Scooter Clubs.

“All the clubs featured also have their badges on the front cover. I had 135 calendars printed and now I just have 20 left, which I want to sell to maximise the donation to Rosemere Cancer Foundation.”

Calendars are available to collect from Scooter Moda at £10 each. They can also be posted out for £13 each. To reserve a calendar, phone Peter on 01772 284444.
