Cit-In 2009 McLaren Vale 10 - 13 April
As hosts of Cit-In 2009, Club Citroën of South Australia Inc. invites all Citroën fanatics to book for McLaren Vale, one of our state’s premier wine and tourism regions.
Apart from being the 41st Cit-In, 2009 marks the very special 75th anniversary of the Traction and the conclusion of the 60th anniversary of the advent of the 2CV.
With registration closing on 31 January and spaces limited by catering facilities to 150 registrants, we strongly recommend that you book now, to make sure you don’t miss out. All entries will be taken in order of receipt, and if necessary a waiting list will be started (also in order of receipt). However, on past performance of Cit-In die-hards, we do not expect many cancellations.
Within this site, you’ll discover all you need to know about Cit-In - from a little bit of history to maps of how to get there and the weekend’s program of events. The site will be updated regularly in the lead up to Easter 2009, so make sure you return here to keep up with the latest information.
What is the annual Cit-In?
The first National Easter meeting for Australian Citroën owners was held 40 years ago in Adelong, NSW. It has since become the most significant annual Citroën event in Australia. Some years after that inaugural event, the event became known as ‘The Cit-In’ and the name has stuck to this day.
The Cit-In over Easter is a wonderful opportunity for members of Citroën clubs and enthusiasts from Australia and overseas to get together. Every year, the events differ slightly, but generally speaking it’s a weekend of socialising, ‘show and shine’, driving events, and local sightseeing. Cit-Ins over the years have amounted to much more than opportunities to display classic Citroëns, they’ve been the genesis of life-long friendships that have formed across the length and breadth of Australia.

This support, including financial assistance, constructive advice and venue provision will be in evidence throughout the web page and very tangible to attendees. Club Citroën of South Australia Inc. also acknowledges its other sponsors and the huge amount of work put into this web page by its previous creators and custodians, which has made our task so much easier. The site will pass to Tasmania for Cit-In 2010.
We recognise and thank CCOCA and in particular, members of the Cit-In ’08 organising committee for their generous support and guidance.
Finally, we thank the local McLaren Vale community which has embraced Cit-In ’09 so warmly.
We hope you will reward all of these parties and yourselves by joining us in McLaren Vale over Easter ‘09.
