<p>Save the date! We are expecting short timelines, and strong international demand for tickets. Not everyone is going to get a ticket.The VC Australia will collect pre-payments for tickets from members once we know the Euro prices, then we will bulk upload those applications when the event portal opens for national clubs. It is very important that you are in this intial upload. Members around the world can only register through their national club.</p>

<p>It may be a little bit different this year as it will be two day event! but it's back at the Exhibition Buildings, Carlton. As the event draws nearer we'll be able to tell you exactly how we will take part.</p>
<p>The information below is for last year's (one day) event. </p>
<p>____________________________________________</p>
<p>This is an important public event for the Club, and all members are invited to be part of it. We need 20+ scooters for display at the event. Oh, and the Italian community just loves an old classic bike, so get yours out. Present your Vespa and bring a club leg-shield banner if you have one.</p>
<p>We are sorry about the late notice, but the Festa only began to be organized recently by our old friend Eddie Rinaldo, who has personally invited the Club to attend and display. Just as we did for many years in the past. Note the new venue is the Royal Exhibition Buildings. While we know that the club appears on the official program, the venue security has only just approved us on the grounds.</p>
<p><strong>We have to arrive all together and bump in as one group at 10.30 AM. Venue security won't allow in any later entrants. You must only ride your Vespa at walking pace on the grounds, and follow the direction of venue security</strong></p>
<p><strong>Meet from 9.30 am at Vespa House</strong> Corner (Johnston & Palmer Collingwood. <a href="https://www.google.com.au/maps/place/Vespa+House/@-37.7997371,144.9901906,15z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0xf642b8a42862302c?sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj8jq6MutfPAhVLilQKHYVdDHoQ_BIIcDAN" target="_blank">MAP</a></p>
<p><strong>Depart at 10.15 sharp for Carlton: one big convoy. </strong> <strong>Arrive and bump in at 10.30 AM</strong></p>
<p>We have yet to have our display area confirmed. We will also confirm that the entry gate is safe for a large group of Vespa to stop.</p>
<ul>
<li><em>Vouchers will be distributed with compliments and thanks of the event organizers. </em></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What a great day out! </strong></p>
<p>You'll meet many people too - so many conversations to be had about Vespa!</p>

The details below are from last year's event.</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:10pt;">__</span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size:10pt;">We unite and celebrate our club right around that big blue bay. A core group rides around the bay on a tight schedule involving as many members as possible. The target is 100 + member participation. You can ride one, two legs, or right the way round. It's all about your choice and ability. Be at one of the meeting points with a full tank and geared up, ready to ride. </span><span style="font-size:10pt;">It's a charity ride too, so there's a $10 rider levy, donated to our Cambodia Project. Register at a meeting point and get your badge.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10pt;">The $10 ride fee is in exchange for a ride badge and a little something at our short stop in Frankston. The levy is donated in full, and we mean every cent, directly to the Cambodian charity we support.</span></p><p><strong>New!</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.plotaroute.com/route/2407781?units=km" target="_blank">This year's route on Plotaroute - download</a></p><p><em>There won't be a morning tea in Chelsea this year.
