Ulysses Club Inc members Australia-wide will be calling Warwick home to attend their national rally from 4 April to 10 April.
The group is a social club for motorcycle enthusiasts aged 40 and over, and was founded in Sydney in 1983.
The club now boasts around 130 branches across Australia with over 11,000 members, with clubs in various countries worldwide.
Ulysses Club Inc’s rally this year is being organised by the South-East Queensland club branches.
Approximately 1,000 members will attend and numerous motorcycles will be travelling around Warwick and surrounding districts.
Dennis King, one of the club’s members, said that locals should be extra vigilant on the roads as a result.
He said that members will be taking part in organised motorcycles rides to tourist areas, seeing the local sights, taking heritage rail tours to Clifton, and enjoying various entertainment, dinners, and functions held at the Showgrounds.
“They look forward to sharing experiences with the locals and really enjoy talking about their journey to get here, for many it might be around 2000km or more on their motorcycle,” Dennis said.
Members will raise funds for the Ulysses Club Arthritis Research Fund (UCARF) during the rally and the club will announce the Motorcycle Apprentice of the Year award.
The Annual General Meeting and dinner will be held on site along with a motorcycle road safety forum.
One of the highlights of the week for the public to enjoy is the Grand Parade on Saturday 9 April, commencing at 9.00am.
The parade will start at Queens Park and proceed through the CBD and streets on the northern side of Warwick.
It will finish at Leslie Park with a welcome ceremony hosted by the rally director.
The bikes will be on display beside the Potters Market with the usual market stalls and food vendors.
Dennis said to head on down Saturday morning to enjoy the festivities.
