Letter: Wheely sincere appeal for Atoms

Correspondent • Published 12 Feb 2010 13:26 1 Comment

Formed in 1956, the Atoms were the Lambretta Club for Reading and the surrounding area.

I'm keen to trace ex-members of the Atoms to hear their stories of Lambretta life in the 1950s/60s and early 1970s.

By 1967 the club was meeting in St Lawrence's Hall on Abbey Street in Reading and the club's secretary at that time was K J Walley.

Do you know them? Were you a member of the club?

I would love to hear from you either via email scootermemories@hotmail.com or via post to the address below.

  well if its not to be a GP or SX and we have to have something i suppose this is not to bad at least it looks like a lambretta and not a plastic space ride from the far east. and that exhaust is i would imagine the governments allowed regulations of today. and a nice slope back ancilloti seat to boot. can't be all that bad. if they did 200 or 250s I'd have one, mind you any one wanting mirrors and spots this is not for you !which is maybe just as well, is that a leg shield tool box like the one on my GP or is it the radiator nicely hid away. cos if its the radiator that is giving me ideas for me next project. i will have to look at the rads on these new lambretta's. seems they might be some use to me after all . . .KTF . .
