Alfesta 2027 is being hosted by AROCA WA and will be held in the Busselton from 1st to 5th April.
Paying tribute to its automotive heritage while looking to the future, Alfa Romeo marked its 115th anniversary with a major event at the museum in Arese and a captivating video (link) that looks back on the most iconic moments of an extraordinary year.

Thank you to everyone who attended our Club Night on Wednesday 13 May. Andrew Lawson delivered, as always, an entertaining and informative presentation on Targa Classica, which sparked plenty of great questions from the floor. Who knows - we may even see an Alfa Romeo team enter the event; if not this year, then hopefully in the not-too-distant future!
If that's got you keen for more, make sure you put Wednesday 10 June in the diary for our next Club Night at the Veneto Club in Bulleen from 8:00pm. We'll be welcoming Jon Bergman from Automotive Integration, specialists in prestige and performance vehicle electronics with over 25 years of experience working with European marques. Come along, bring your questions, and of course enjoy the company of fellow Alfisti afterwards – it's always a great chance to catch up with fellow Alfisti and hear what's been happening around the club.
As we move into the cooler months, it's great to see so many members still out and about enjoying their Alfas. There's something particularly satisfying about a crisp winter drive, and we've got plenty of reasons to get out from behind the garage door this June.
A reminder that contributions to the next Cross + Serpent are due by Wednesday 3 June - if you've been to a recent event, have a restoration update, or just a good yarn to share, please get it in. The magazine is only as good as what our members put into it, so don't be shy!
On Sunday 14 June there's a double treat - the Goldfields Chapter Sunday Drive and the 4C Register Drive, both worth putting in the diary if you haven't already. Then on Sunday 21 June we have the Club Breakfast at Brunetti Classico in Carlton - a lovely relaxed way to spend a winter morning with good company.
Club Notices
Stay warm, keep the Alfa running, and I look forward to seeing you out on the road or at an event soon.
