Penrith City has now officially been passed the baton to host the next Ulysses Club AGM, which will generate about $10 million for the local economy.Penrith City Mayor Greg Davies was in Townsville last week to accept the Ulysses Trophy on behalf of Penrith City residents.
“About 5000 motorcyclists will set up camp in Penrith as part of the Ulysses Clubs Annual General Meeting in March next year,” Councillor Davies said.
“The Ulysses Club has 28,000 members nationally and membership is available to only those aged over 40 years of age. It is a social club for mature age motorcyclists.
“The Club’s Annual General Meeting is a major event spanning a week. Ulysses 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.
“Council will also support the 2009 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.”
