Meeting at Vespa House Collingwood from 10 am. Coffee and light snacks available from Clem at Palmer and Johnston cafe.
Departing for Lygon Street at 11.15 am.
This is an important high profile day for the club. We are in association with the Italian Consulate, Italian Chamber of Commerce, Italian Institute of Culture, City of Melbourne, and directly with the Italian community.
We need 20 scooters for this event, and maintain the numbers throughout the day as people come and go.
All members are welcome and encouraged to come along - a great day out with family, and your scooter will be a feature at the entrance to the event. Classic bikes are especially of interest to the Italian community, so get yours out of the garage, and bring it along too. Polish it up and add Italian flavour!
Incentive. The organisers provide us with something in return - complimentary food and drink vouchers for the stalls there. No doubt, we will also retreat as usual to one of the cafes near the event for food and wine.
You will meet lots of people too - there will be many conversations to be had about Vespa! Come along in the morning to be part of the grand arrival. You don't have to stay all day, and later arrivals are welcome too.
This year we will be organising some activities to engage the community as it arrives and connect them to the Club.

The initial group will leave together from Vespa House corner (Johnston & Palmer, Collingwood) at 11.15 AM - arriving at Lygon Street 11.30 AM. Come along for a coffee at Clem's cafe, Clem makes make great coffee and will prepare some appetising snacks for you as well. Then we'll ride up together. It would be great to have 20 scooters on this ride up to create a grand entrance.
This is the premier Italian event in Melbourne.

Will be great to meet you Tony.
Looking forward to this...it'll be my first attendance to an event (I'm a slacker, I know), a good excuse to polish up the gts and to meet other club members.
Looks like it's going to be a warm day. Bring a sun hat and some sun block
Viva l'Italia!!!
This event is open to all our members who can come along no matter what time of the day. You will see us at the lead in to the Argyle Park in Lygon Street We will be promoting the club and also offering the locals a gold coin donation for a photo on our vespas. This money will be the start of our fundraising campaign for the Cambodia trip.
Looking foward to seeing you all during the day...
