Have you heard of the Gorehounds no well you have now. There a small run club based n Striling Scotland. They were formedand established way back in 1982

The Gorehounds was resurrected in September 2006 by Hector who started the original club in 1982. The choice was to get away from the name of the club being attached to a Town/city, as Stirling Scooter Club which most were members off. This enables us to attract members from all over Central region without alienating them. Our aims are to be a friendly structured Club that will attend the various rallies throughout the season. The Gorehounds SC Glasgow have been keeping the club name going when it ceased to exist in its hometown of Stirling and many thanks goes to Gordie & Phil.

On 15th to 17th August the Gorehounds held their own rally calling it the Stirling scooter rally. Which was held in Cambusbarron just outside strirling city centre.
Prior to their first rally ISANET have made close ties to the Gorehounds after we made links and placed articles on the ISANET magazine.

ISANET had a personal invite up to the rally so on the day of the rally I made the long journey north of the border and see what the Gorehounds were all about. The journey took me 7 hours in total that was down to traffic and breaks along the way.

When I arrived I was greeted by Hector the club no.1 and also met Gary and Alleena (The Diva) Coupe.

One article which ISANET placed on the mag was a fitting tribute to one of the founding members who sadly passed away George Bolton. After the Gorehounds held a charity night in memory of George they donated all monies raised to a charity called Braveheart helping people with heart problems so on this I personally donated 80 cds to the Gorehounds to raise money for the Braveheart charity at the rally. Which went down a storm with all the scooter scounds . entitled Braveheart scooter sounds.

Just outside Of Cambusbarron is the great battlefield of Bannock Burn Where the mighty Bruce defeated the English (oooouchhh) that hurt anyway moving on you also have Wallace up there to along with the famous Stirling castle. Stirling is packed with history and well worth a vist Bannock Burn is only 10 minutes from the rally site so off I went to take a look.

Friday night had Fat Panda playing a local SKA band who got the floor rocking nice one guys, they did cover versions and their own songs as well, Followed by Honour Kills a young group that plays big and are in the Punk Scene playing the Sex Pistols etc.

On the Friday night ISANET also donated a Salver to the Gorehounds for Best in show at the Custom show in memory of George Bolton our wishes were respected and the Salver was not to be won out right it would stay with Geroges wife Lavina until next year. The Club decided to engrave the winners on the back of the Salver. Nice one guys after the salver was presented I led the venue in a toast to welcome the salver into the club which was washed down with Scotlands finest . well Friday finished around 1am.

I left on Saturday around 4pm having got back home I was informed by the Gorehounds that Saturday went down even better as more people filled the venue, they had an underground Jam tribute band playing.
