Is that the same one that used to be at Clontarf?
rosco:
That would be the one.

The guy being rather new to all this doesn't want the event closed down by police like it was in Clontarf. I believe his notice is going off those on facebook that clicked 'going' but facebook numbers are very inaccurate when it comes to events.
My band get 200 or so people from around the world saying they're going to our pub gig at Leichhardt and 70 turn up, many of which didn't click 'going' on facebook. Often people just say they're going as a courtesy so it's not wise of him to turn people away just yet, keeping in mind the Penrith event.
Of course with the success of Cavallino's he may get more of the Euro car crowd but policing the event to those that replied on facebook will be impossible; it'll have to be first in best dressed.

I did expect that Cavallino,s would go the direction it did in the end, parking was horrible at best and the residence around there were not going to put up with this so I gather a bit of pressure was applied in the right direction. To be honest I thought the euro,s would go under ground to another location,it was getting way to large for what they had set up for themselves.
Penrith on the other hand has just got better and better very good parking supported by the local establishments and to date I have only seen two HWP and they were getting coffee at Krispy,s.
It's taken 12 months for this event to get to the size it has and have not even seen any problems and really don't expect to see any it's the type of crowd it attracts.
I support the creation of the new location for macchiato one of the better locations around, good parking in a delightful area, it's how he markets this that will give it the success it needs, going head to head with penrith and now before it even starts is limiting places and post,s Now Full capacity on their facebook page?... Really
Regards Rosco

Yeah, I think he's being optimistic and for the moment it's suck it and see. I did mention to him the Penrith event and he replied he could only work with the dates given to him for September and October; he will look into changing dates for the following months if the numbers are low.
If it is does go to full capacity; the more the merrier I guess and being in Leichhardt, I do envision more Italian/Euro cars due to the demographic of that area so it'll be horses for courses.
