Auto Italia Canberra is an annual display of Italian cars, motorbikes and scooters that promotes Italian automotive machinery. The event is organised by the Italian Cars Association. The display has been held on a continuous basis since the early 1980s, and it attracts a considerable entrant and spectator interest from within the ACT and from interstate. Auto Italia Canberra 2010 will be held on Sunday, 18th April 2010 on the Patrick White Lawns near the National Library of Australia between 10.00 am and 2.00 pm. Alfa Romeo will be the featured marque for Auto Italia Canberra 2010 to commemorate the centenary of ALFA. ******************************************* Already there are a few Club Members planning the trip and Gary Pearce has organised preferred accommodation venue with secure underground car parking. The place is called Bentley Apartments in Manuka. If Alfa Romeo owners are interested in staying there too, I will be able to push for a group discount. Please indicate your interest on this site at your earliest. www.canberrahotels.com.au/hotel_details.php?hotelID=bentley-suites-canberra ----- Original Message -----
