A CONVOY of motor scooters will leave Lowton Civic Hall on Friday as part of an annual pilgrimage by members of the Lambretta Club of Great Britain to deliver Easter eggs to Pendlebury Children's Hospital.

It will be the ninth year in succession for the event which sees about 300 enthusiasts take part in the 20 mile drive.

The convoy will leave at noon and take about an hour to travel to the hospital where they will hand over eggs and easter toys to young patients.

After returning to Lowton the club will host a custom show and on Saturday night will hold a series of events, including dancing and sounds from the 60s and 70s. Admission to the Saturday night show will cost £3 on the door and starts at 7pm.
