Khartum.Skooters

The Khartum Skooters became a unit of Khartum Shrine on January 23, 1986, with seven founding members and Noble Bob Turnbull as the first President. One of our founding members, Ernie Marks, is still an active Khartum Skooters Noble. Khartum Skooters is led by the unit's President, Bill Gilchrist, with Vice President, Keith Phillips; Treasurer, Jonathan Cortes; and Secretary, Jack Codd. Khartum Skooters' vehicles are 1985 Honda Elite 250cc scooters and are used to perform various routines in parades as well as in the Khartum Shrine Circuses. We practice usually every Wednesday evening at the Khartum Shrine Centre parking lot during the summer months from May to August. Our scooters also provide practical and economical personal transportation to the individual owners during the summer months. They are capable of carrying two people, a rider and a passenger, and are driven equally at home in the city and on highway travel at up to 130 km/hr (70 mph). Khartum Skooters is a family-oriented unit - that is, if the Khartum Skooters Nobles are invited to a public activity, the Khartum Skooters Ladies are assumed by the Unit to be invited as well. The Khartum Skooters have, at present, a total membership of 16, of which 15 are current riders. The unit is very active in contributing to the overall goals of Khartum Shrine in a guiding spirit of fun and fellowship. The very active participation of our riders themselves, our non-riders, and our very own and unique Khartum Skooters Cheering Squad, the Khartum Skooters Ladies, contribute to the cohesiveness, effectiveness, and “Serious Fun” of the Unit as a whole. Khatum Skooters is a growth unit and is at present looking for more scooter riders!
