Meet the Committee
Acting President - Chris Johnson
Back on the committee after a couple of years break.
Secretary - Max Box
Hi my name is Max, I'm the current Secretary of the Club but have also served as President, Vice-President and Ordinary Member, before that I spent a couple of years on the Paradise Lost SC committee. I'm a relative newcomer to the scooter scene getting my first Lambretta in 2007. I love all of the Lambretta models but have a particular soft spot for the muscular styling of Bertone's DL/GP and currently have two downstairs. I like to know how and why the machines are working...or not, so enjoy getting the tools out. I am also a fan of longer rides and have participated in four tours of the south west of WA, as well as helping to organise the route for the 2016 Australian Classic Scooter Mille, and organising the inaugural 2017 West Coast Lambretta Jamboree.
Treasurer - Sean Heffernan

Most people think that I fall off my Lambretta a lot... well ... maybe just a bit....
When the club cried out for people to put their hand up for positions on the committee, I thought why not... time to give a little back to this great club, which has supplied too many great memories for me - all of the Australian Classic Scooter Mille events so far ( although completing more than just one is something I would love to remedy ), the East Coast Jamborees and the other events that the club provides support & insurance for.

My passion for scooters started back in the UK in 1982 at just 16 when I purchased my first Vespa PK 50 then a Vespa 200 after passing my test.
From then on I made time and effort to attend as many rallies as I could , along the way I choose to swap from Vespa to Lambretta series 3 .
Attending the UK rallies gave me much joy and excitement in my youthful years but the passion, camaraderie within the scootering scene at present in Australia still brings elation as it did back then.
My home is now Western Australia since 2012 when I decided I wanted part of the scootering scene again when purchased a 1960 series 2 where I fully restored it back to its full glory, along with a gp 150 which are my pride and joy. My total goal would be to own a SX200 1966.
Having joined the LCOA in 2019 and was made welcome on my first event, I felt compelled to become involved with LCOA and thank everyone who supported me in becoming a Committee Member and hopefully I can bring new ideas and support to the LCOA going forward.

English born, now Aussie, living in Sydney, my first scooter was a Vespa 50 Special with a cylinder kit in around 1992, I started going to a local scooter club in Epsom, Surrey, but later moved to Brighton and really got into the scene, lots of rides down to Brighton and loving the music and clothing that went with it!
My love for Lambretta’s was a lot later and after moving to Australia in 2013 with no scooters, I now have a 1967 125 Special and a 1974 SIL GP150/210.
I enjoy fixing my own scooters and am happy spending hours in the garage, even if those hours were only supposed to be a ‘quick job’!
Still enjoy a decent ale, riding scooters around the country on weekend rallies and getting out when I can.
I currently look after memberships for the Lambretta Club and help with the website.
