Motorcycle show returns to Healesville to support mental health of veterans

After the huge success of the inaugural motorcycle show last year drawing over 100 people’s attention, Machine on the Green will return to Healesville. 

This time, the event will be held at the Healesville RSL, on the green by the Grace Burn, on Sunday 27 April, starting from 9am.

Event organiser Clifford Overton said Machine on the Green successfully raised about $300 and donated it to The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride, a fundraiser for prostate cancer research and men’s mental health programs.  

“Last year we had about 35 motorcycles on the green, and then a lot of visitors walked through to have a look,” he said.

“This year, all proceeds raised on the day will go towards the programs run by Healesville RSL that provide support for good mental health for veterans.”

All types of motorcycles will be welcome to enter for display with a $2 entry fee. 

Each motorcycle will be eligible for the Best In Show award which will be chosen by the visitors. 

The visitors can purchase a Like On A Stick for $2 to vote for their favourite motorcycle at the show. 

The event coordinating group will count up the likes to find out the Best In Show winner by midday. 

Anyone, who wishes to display their motorcycle or have a look at the show, is encouraged to turn up and buy a ticket at the event.
