"Goldwing Light Parade" Scarborough
September 11th 2010
The date is now set for the next Scarborough Light Parade which will take place on Saturday 11th September 2010. The content of this website will be changed regularly over the next few months to present details of the 2010 event as information becomes available to me. The Scarborough Light Parade has become the biggest and best GoldWing Light Parade of its kind in the North of England and has already raised over £5,300 for the RNLI Lifeboats A team of volunteer organisers from the Yorkshire Region of the GoldWing Owners Club of Great Britain is now ready to go forward and plan a full programme the next event.
The Mayor and Mayoress of Scarborough, Councillor William Chatt and Michelle Chatt
As the Mayor of the Borough I am delighted that the Goldwings are returning to Scarborough again this year as I have heard so much about these spectacular machines! We are extremely grateful to the GWOCGB for this second visit and we hope it will be one of many in the years to come. I am certainly looking forward to seeing the spectacular parade and if I am very lucky, getting a ride as a passenger on one of the bikes.
Councillor Bill Chatt
Mayor of Scarborough
BILL WEBSTER of Coronation Street will be helping us to raise funds for the RNLI with a personal appearance all day Saturday.
The Goldwing Light Parade itself will take place at 8.00pm on Saturday 11th September at the end of an all day fundraising Static Display in aid of the RNLI on the promenade in front of the Scarborough Lifeboat Station.
Super Social Facilities
Come and enjoy a great weekend in Scarborough and show off your GoldWing in the East Coast’s Jewel in the Crown GoldWing Light Parade and Static Display. This year we will be based at the Blue Dolphin Holiday Park where visitors can enjoy evening entertainment with friends with a holiday party atmosphere in the entertainment complex.
Prime Promenade Parking
We have reserved prime promenade parking with compulsory inscription to show our bikes where we will help to raise funds for the RNLI Scarborough Lifeboats. The all day display will be marshalled so riders can join in the fun, or just take a leisurely walk around Scarborough, Britain’s first seaside resort. The historic Spa overlooks the safe sandy beach of South Bay towards Scarborough Castle and the harbour. After 2,500 years of chaotic history, the castle still stands proud between Scarborough’s two bays, so there’s a lot to see and do around this picturesque seaside town.Relaxed Parade Riding
Later you can join the fun in the GoldWing Scarborough Light Parade. A safe route with no road closures, no police, and no overtaking, where crowds gather in Sandside and Foreshore Road to take snapshots of the spectacle of large numbers of illuminated GoldWings. There’s one set of traffic lights, which we prefer not to control, because it’s here where crowds gather to photograph the bikes when they stop. A fabulous laid-back half hour parade which doubles back along the promenade before heading home to the Blue Dolphin Holiday Park.
