The 2012
Border Bike Fest will include
Wodonga Lions Club – “Motorbike Show and Shine”,
and Bikes only Swap Meet.
The charity event
founded by a small group of motor cycle enthusiasts who wanted to share their passion for motor cycles whilst raising money for Kidney Health Australia,
was first held in 2008.
This
year the event is being held in November in conjunction with the Ulysses Club and
Albury Wodonga Classic & Enthusiasts MCC
All funds raised will be shared to
support Lions and local
community charities.
The Gateway Island Wodonga
is an ideal location to host the event as it is situated between the inland cities of Albury and Wodonga which boast a regional population in excess of 100,000.
The aim of the show is to exhibit a range of motorcycles from the early 1900’s through to modern era, including vintage, veteran, classic and custom bikes and is designed as a community event to raise money for charity. The event also provides an opportunity to socialize and enjoy a casual family day out and view a wide range of motorbikes in a relaxed safe environment.
The 2008 inaugural “Motorbike Show and Shine” proved to be a great success, displaying over 150 motor cycles; it attracted in excess of 1000 attendants and raised $6000 for Kidney Health Australia.
Likewise the event held in 2009 and 2010 was as a success and continues as a joint community
project of the Lions Club of Wodonga, Ulysses Club and now the
Albury Wodonga Classic & Enthusiasts MCC
The organising committee
has contacted the community, clubs and businesses to participate in the event. A
range of local businesses have sponsored the event, and many take the opportunity to set up trade displays and stalls to promote their business and products.
The support provided by the Wodonga City Council and Wodonga Lions Club was paramount to the success of the show.
This year the Motorbike Show and Shine will be
organised as a joint venture by the Lions Club of Wodonga, the
Ulysses Club and the Albury
Wodonga Classic & Enthusiasts MCC. We look forward to seeing you there.
