In 2012 Vespa Club of Britain is 60 years old!

  

To celebrate our 60th anniversary the Vespa Club of Britain has agreed to do something special, run Vespa World Days in the United Kingdom. This is a big project and therefore the planning started in 2007.

 

Eurovespa was an annual Vespa rally run between 1954 and 2007, (with a decade-long break in the 1970s), Vespa lovers gathered at Eurovespa for the grandest, largest, proudest rally known to scooterkind.

 

On 14th March 2006 Vespa World Club was created by Piaggio & C. S.p.A. and the Piaggio Foundation to promote, unite and co-ordinate all the Vespa clubs in the world.

 

Eurovespa transformed into Vespa World Days, in 2007, under the supervision of the Vespa World Club.

 

Each year there is a meeting between Presidents of National Vespa Clubs, Vespa World Club and Piaggio to discuss the running of Vespa World Club and to decide where future Vespa World Days will be hosted. Vespa World Days is run by National Vespa Clubs.

 

In 2008 the meeting agreed that Vespa World Days will be hosted in the following countries

2009 - Austria (11-14 June 2009)

2010 - Portugal (1-4 July 2010)

2011 - Norway (26-29 May 2011)

2012 - United Kingdom

 

 

Vespa World Days 2012 is being held in London.

 

Vespa World Days will take place at London Fields in the borough of Hackney close to the Olympic Village.
