Sunday the 31st of March our club presented 36 cars in static display at Club Marconi for our annual contribution to "La Festa Della Repubblica".
Our cars looked fantastic and generated a great deal of interest, all day, from the public. Everyone has a story to tell about where they went, what they did in their Fiat, Alfa in 1963, 76, 84 etc! Always interesting and wonderful to offer some "nostalgia!"
Our members were offered a lunch voucher, courtesy of Club Marconi. Member Tony Campisi also offered a tray of "excellent pannini" made up of salami, prosciutto, mortadella, provolone, pepperoni and carciofi!... the bread is some of Sydney's best! Thank you Tony. A fine gesture!Food, wine, pasta, Italian cakes and entertainment was all in abundance.
At approximately 2:00pm, Australia's Prime Minister Tony Abbott, walked around the grounds. As he past the IMSMC bancarella, our president strategically approached his entourage, called out his name, "Mr. Abbott!". They shook hands. Mr Abbott was handed a club cap. He looked at it and read out aloud, "Italian Made!" The Prime Minister then proceeded to put the hat on, and the Papparazi went mad!... one of those memorable moments ladies and gentlemen of IMSMC!!
At 3:00pm, our cars were judged by the Marconi executive. Firstly thank you everyone that participated, creating a fantastic display. Our winners on the day are as follows; ( a hard job for the judges). The trophies being donated by member William Nasato form Corporate Awards Australia. Thank you William!
