Ringwood Renegades (formerly known as the BH 24) were a group of friends in and around Ringwood in 1982 they were not mods but had a passion for scooters. A club patch was introduced in 1983 designed by Sean Robinson showing a strange little cartoon man called Hagar sat on a scooter!

Some members at the time were : John H, Daryl M, Tony C, Sean R, and Andy Bellboy Tim C, Mike C, Nick B, Tim P, Aubrey, Phil N, Jason N, Jason C, Gary D, Huggy. First Rally was Morecambe Easter 83 with back up van.

1984/5 The club drifted towards Bournemouth and met the Moordown mods and recruited more young blood still meeting in Ringwood once a week, having Do’s at Ringwood FC and behind the Crown Pub and the Club also attended Donnington Rally in 1985. Members then: Sean R, Kev B, Jim P, Paul G, and Gary H etc.

With the Scooter Scene thriving in the mid eighties the Club had grown in the Bournemouth area meeting at the Horse and Jockey and then in the late eighties new club members appeared and started meeting in The Hollies this saw a different design in Club top and a split in the Club with the Rusty Nuts S.C being formed. Members then: Sean R, Pete S, Mark D, Mandy D, Dave S, Gary H, John W, Jo W, Marcus P, Justin P, Ben H, Andy and Vicky G, Nobby, Andy B etc. Taking us into the early nineties.

Mid 90’s saw more Do’s in the area such as Grow Your Own and Shake Your Mini run by Des, Tony A and Mel A under the banner of Renegade Productions.

Late 90’s with the scene increasing again the Club reformed again at The Horse and Jockey by Kev B and Jim P and moving on to The Hollies with members who had got rid of their scooters due to family commitments finding the money to buy a scooter again. The Club was growing and went on to meet in Christchurch and then back to where it all started in Ringwood at The Railway Hotel with the Landlord Ted owning a scooter what more could we ask for!

The Millenium came and went. Then we had our 21st Anniversary at the Ringwood FC. With the Club being bigger and better and people doing more and more I can see that the Renegades will last for the near future or till we are all too old to kick start or bump! those lovely scooters any more .

2007 We are now meeting at the New Lodge pub in Somerford, Christchurch every Thursday giving us a lovely big car park for scooters and drinking!
