Summary:

Archival caption: They rode Vespas and Lambrettas, they loved groups like the Small Faces and The Who and they had a style all of their own. And now, 50 years after the original mods had their heyday, the era is set to be recreated at a scooter rally in Redcar. On June 6, 7 and 8, a full camping weekend at Redcar Rugby Club aims to bring the best in scooters, scooter sounds and traders to the town. Musically, there'll be Mod, Ska, Northern Soul and more. But there'll also be scooters - lots of them. It's the brainchild of scooter fan Damian Hunt and his old school friend Paul Power, who organised the VW Power event at the same venue. And while some people associate Mods with seaside violence, both in the 1960s and the Mod revival in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Damian, 45, stresses the Redcar event will be a peaceful, family friendly affair. Pictured MODs in Redcar, Middlesbrough, 4th October 1985.
