ALRESFORD COUNTRY SHOW 2025
Saturday 6th September
We will be at The Alresford Show again this year, and looking forward to some fine weather when viewing the various activities taking place in the Showground.
Due to the limited number of Scooters we are able to bring with us it is advisable to pre-book. This can be done from the 1st March by calling our Centre on 01256 476 066.
We will be bringing a range of Scooters, by pre-booking you can be assured of a suitable vehicle to meet with your needs.
We look forward to seeing you there.
The Shopmo ‘On-Tour’ Team
Following the two weeks in the Rotations Shop in Whitchurch we would like thank all who supported our time there.
We raised the fantastic sum of £1,580.66. All which will go the support the equipment we provide for our users here at the Basingstoke Centre.
Thank you for the Shopmo’ Team
We will again be offering a Christmas Gift Wrapping service in the Malls (outside the old Wilko Shop). Bring your gifts along and we will wrap them in quality paper and tag. Whilst we make no charge for this service, we do suggest a minimum donation of £2.00 per package. All proceeds will be put towards the running of our Scooter service in Church Square.

We are pleased to advise we are able to accept Card Payments for all hires. However the £100.00 Deposit on hires where the vehicle is taken away overnight or away ‘for the day’ can be held on a Card payment, and refunded upon return of the hire in good condition.
Travel Scooters – suitable for putting in the boot of the Car, on a Coach, or on the Train and going out for the day are very popular. During the Summer Season they do get booked up early so to avoid disappointment please enquire as soon as you know any dates. These small robust scooters are also suitable for taking on Cruises, and some flights within Europe, so maybe a wonderful holiday somewhere can be made easier with our Travel Scooters – just ask for more details.
Any Scooter taken away from the Centre (i.e. in the boot of a Car) will require a £100.00 refundable deposit.
We are pleased to announce we will again be at the Alresford Show on Saturday 6th September. Scooters will be available for hire. As always we do have a limited number available, so better to pre-book to be assured of a suitable Scooter to meet with your needs. Pre-booking can be made by calling our Basingstoke Centre on 01256 476 066 during normal office hours. Lets hope the weather is better than 2024 which proved difficult conditions for our scooter on the Showground.
Well we were there, and we must thank Basingstoke Rotary Club for inviting, and supporting us again in being there.
As in previous years, please pre-book a Scooter , we can only take so many with us to the Show. To ensure availability when you arrive please give us a call on 01256 476 066 to enable you to enjoy this fantastic display of all things classic.
Collection point is likely to be in Crossborough Hill – but look out for signposting on the day.
Thank you for supporting our fund raising adventures.
Unfortunately we have not been able to have our Trundles for a while now, However we hope to have a few during the Summer Months.
We had four outings.
We will be calling to ‘Milestones Museum’ for Tea/Coffee and Cake after a run through the older parts of Brookvale to view some not often seen parts of the Town (Weather permitting of course)
We will be going on ‘Parks & Gardens’ Tour around Town before returning back to Shopmo’ for Tea/Coffee and Cake.
Many people think all our customers do in town is shop. They forget there are an abundance of other reasons for coming into town e.g. bank, dentist, doctor, optical, legal services, meeting a friend, gym, cinema.
Plus, customers of Shopmobility Basingstoke get the opportunity to go on a ‘Trundle’. This is an organised trip from the office, lead by staff/volunteers which takes the customer outside of the shopping area and off to places they wouldn’t normally get to and sometimes don’t even know exist.
With weather permitting we will be organising up to 4 Trundles during 2025 – watch this space!
Please contact us on 01256 476 066 to book your place. All of the excursions are of course subject to the weather conditions on the day.
