The Victoria Police Pipe Band is a traditional Scottish Bagpipe Band. The band consists of 10 pipers and six drummers and can perform various functions from marching in parades to static concert performances.

The Victoria Police Pipe Band takes part in many police, community and corporate events throughout the year. These events include everything from police graduation parades, ceremonies and funerals, to large community public events such as the Anzac Day Parade in Melbourne, Moomba Parade and the Melbourne Cup Parade of Champions.

The Fry Brothers, Tim and Roy Fry grew up in Hillcrest situated between two country towns in Victoria, Smythesdale and Snake Valley. At the age of six their parents encouraged the boys to develop their natural harmonies and guitar skills. Their father, who played guitar, started teaching the boys. Tim played lapsteel and Roy played acoustic guitar.

Since their father was a founding member of the Ballarat Country Music Club, it gave them them a chance to create their own sound and playing style. The brothers performed throughout their childhood and teens as an acoustic duo an in a succession of country to rock bands until they parted for a time whilst Roy completed a formal education in classical guitar and composition. Tim joined a touring country band playing pedal steel and performed at different venues throughout Victoria up to Queensland.

RESIDENTS will experience the sweet sounds and sights of scores of motorbikes riding into Point Cook next month.

As many as 1500 bikers will converge on the town centre on October 25 as part of the Pink Ribbon Ride.

The ride, which has already attracted interest from bike enthusiasts across the state, will raise more than $30,000 for the Cancer Council of Victoria for breast cancer research.

Point Cook Motorcycle Club president Marcel Gomperts is organising this year's event and said riders would travel from at least nine locations across Victoria, including Bendigo and Ballarat.

"Every rider pays $20 to enter and it all goes to the Cancer Council. We'll also raise money through donations, a raffle and an auction," he said.

Riders of all ages will arrive in groups at Point Cook Town Centre about 11am to be greeted by a festival set including live music, motorcycle traders and other entertainment for adults and children.

TV personality Greg Evans and local schools will entertain the crowds.

Point Cook Motorcycle Club and the Point Cook Town Centre have organised the festival and will close roads on the day.

Mr Gomperts, who has been riding motorbikes for most of his life, said the ride was the perfect way to combine a popular passion - motorcycling - with raising money for a good cause. "The Point Cook Motorcycle Club is a touring and riding club. We're in our early stages but we're hoping to lead more rides [including] down the Great Ocean Road. You know how happy a dog is when he's enjoying the breeze in the back of a ute? That's what riding is like: it's being part of nature."
