Norton Street Festa 2024

 

Sunday the 27th of October, 41 x IMSMC cars, filled the green spaces around the rotunda  inside of  Pioneer Park, Leichhardt, participating  in the Norton street festa - Auto festa - di Leichhardt.

And participate they did! Naturally boot contributions were in order as many members shared their home made delights. The weather turned on a spectacular Sydney spring day! Our cars looked amazing... the colours that we just don't see in our modern cars!!

 

Every member in attendance, received a coffee voucher, which was redeemed from "Grinders"... every member that drove a car, received a pizza voucher, redeemable at Cugini Pizzeria! Peroni sponsored our day in some way... just not quite sure how!

 

It is estimated that 100,000 visitors made their way to Norton Street, this year... Including our Prime minister Anthony Albanese.  He visited the Royal hotel, as luck would have it, a small group of IMSMC enthusiasts were cooling down. As "Albo" walked past our table, one of our enthusiastic senior members, called out, " Hey, You, come here mate!" To which Albo obliged. An IMSMC hat was placed on Albo's head. 

A GREAT photo eventuated, the scene being presented on Ch 9 NEWS, that night. But... as Albo moved on, Our member respectfully, removing our hat from the Prime Ministers head!.. "Give me back my Hat!"

A great day. Certainly one of our highlight events of every year!

 

Thankyou for your participation, members, friends and visitors all.
