ABOUT SCRABSTERS MCC
Scrabsters is a Wirral based motorcycle club, who meet at the local pub.
We try to organise a rally each year if we can, and/or other events.
We are a MAG affiliated club and have been around for 21 years this year!

The club originally formed in May 1991. A handful of people at a loose end, got together and decided to start a new Motorcycle Club in Wirral. The name was taken from a book called 'The Meaning of Lif' written by Douglas Adams. In this book, every place, town or city which did not have a meaning to it's name, was given an alternative one.
'Scrabster' is a place in Scotland, and Douglas Adams' meaning for Scrabster is the typically excitable dog which humps your leg under the table in the pub!
For some strange reason this name was favourable, hence Scrabsters MCC began.

CLUB INITIATION IN 1991

Being a new club on the biking scene, local club W.A.R.P.E.D decided a club initiation ceremony was required for Scrabsters and this took place at their 4th DavyLad Rally in June 1991. W.A.R.P.E.D assisted by The Drunken Donkeys totally covered us all with a load of eggs, flour, shaving foam and more, again and again and again and then some! Then they dumped us all in a rugby bath of freezing cold water (No bubble bath provided!) and continued to cover us all in mess again, and again, and so it went on!

BOTTLER DOG
A competition was run to find a particular name for the dog on the club logo and after sifting through all the entries the club decided on 'Bottler Dog'.
Dog is the nickname for bottles of Newcastle Brown, which we were all drinking at the time.
