Like some of his clubmates, Nixon uses a scooter to get around now he’s no longer driving. “If I didn’t have this scooter, I d be stuck in my house looking at four walls, it gives you freedom,” he said. The club is keen for new recruits to join them on outings twice a month. There’s a few advantages to travelling by scooter, Nixon reckons. “You’ve already got your chair.” And Nixon’s scooter has other advantages that fellow “gang” members claim gave him the advantage in the recent scavenger hunt. “He got all the clues. And his scooter goes ten times faster than most of them,” Marian Gallichan said.
