About 5000 motorcyclists will set up camp in Penrith as part of the Ulysses Motor Cycle Clubs Annual General Meeting in March 2009.Penrith City Mayor Greg Davies said Council was honoured that Penrith City was chosen to host the meeting that will reap some $10 million of economic benefits.
“The Ulysses Motorcycle Club has 28,000 members nationally and membership is available to only those aged over 40 years of age,” Councillor Davies said.
“The Club’s Annual General Meeting is a major event spanning a week. It is of such a scale that planning begins three years ahead.
“The week also attracts major motorcycle manufacturers and suppliers for a trade show and members enjoy a range of activities in the host City including entertainment nights, social events and official ceremonies. The week culminates in a grand parade.
“The parade is a high point of the event and Ulysses sees it as a thank you gesture to local residents for sharing their City.
“The Club has more than 120 local branches, which have to bid for the right to host an Annual General Meeting.
“Recognising the importance of such an event to the City, Council along with Panthers and Penrith Paceway, lent its vast event management experience to the local Nepean Ulysses Club in its successful bid.
“Council will also support the event with $35,000, which will be repaid to the City many times over, and a shuttle bus linking the Ulysses Cub’s base with the Penrith CBD.”
