Firstly well done to those infamous Santa Riders - not only did they bring festive cheer around the CBD and Harbour, they donated to charities of their choice and with 8 attendees on the ride Vespa Club Sydney donated $20 per rider for a total of $160 to be donated to the winning charity Starlight Foundation with 13 votes !! Well done VCS Members...

The Santa Riders were Aaron, Caroline, Steve, Rick, David, John, Simon and Will - great effort

Vespa Club Australia President Julie Pond has recently been riding around regional NSW looking for a suitable venue for a joint ride out for Vespa Club Sydney and Vespa Club Melbourne to join forces for a weekend of socialising, Vespa Riding, and fun. The provisional details are below:


Dates:  1-2 April 2022

Location:  Coolamon NSW (Halfway between Melbourne and Sydney)

Agenda: Friday night at the country club for dinner. Saturday breakfast then rideout to Ariah Park pub for lunch then ride out followed by delicious dinner.

Sunday breakfast then goodbye. Many different options possible

 
Expressions of interest: Feel free to contact rides@vespaclubsydney.com.au or join us for the Vespa Club Sydney breakfast on 9 January to chat about plans and options. Places are somewhat limited due to local accommodation

 


Also feel free to suggest events that you would like to lead or ride in. We are a club for all and we are far better as a club with input from all.


Wishing everyone all the best for the new year riding our Vespa's, making friends and enjoying life in 2022 !!
As John F Kennedy may have once said about his local Vespa Club in Washington D.C. "ask not what your Vespa Club can do for you, but rather what can you do for your Vespa Club"
