Hello Vespa Adventurers and your partners.
Announcing a new and improved venue at the home of Stephen and Sally. Also we are back to our Thursday date. My apologies for all the mucking around.
Time: From 6:00-6:30pm until sleepy-eyed
Date: Thursday 22 August
Place: Steve and Sally's Home, 79 Kent Street, Richmond > MAP
What better way to spend a cold winter’s night than telling stories huddled around the flickering screen of a computer where we’ll be showing our favourite pics of our various Vespa exploits. I will bring a computer with a 21” screen and an 8mm projector so please bring your memory sticks (preferably virus free) of any photos or movies, maps that will help bring your stories to life. I suggest the following informal 10-15 minute presentations after diner:
Ray and Suzette: Australian Alps adventure during Easter
Stephen and Sally: Navigating the dirt forest roads of Slovenia
Philip and Luke: South Australia and Kangaroo Island adventure
Julie and Greg: World Vespa Day
Roy: Tasmania adventure
Pete: Castlemaine meander ride during Easter
David: Riding to QLD and doing a classic scooter Mille rally
Please respond as soon as you can as Steve and Sally have offered to cater for this event. Remember, your partners are most welcome.

Thank you Sally and Steve for being such generous hosts and to all our presenters last night for sharing your stories. An inspiration for others who may wish to follow in your footsteps, er, tyre marks. Keep those adventures coming, David

Hi David, Steve & Sally
sorry for the late reply - a lot going on in other circles at the moment so haven't been following.
Thursday 22nd is ok for me and Suzette, but is a little early for us as are coming from the peninsula and need to stop in @ Cheltenham on the way.
can be in at around 7pm if that's ok
Ray,
No problems, see you around 7ish.
Hi Steve and Sally, I'll be attending on Thursday at your home, presenting too.
Philip
