A civic reception was also held in Dingo on 23 November 1921. Roffey flew from "Melbadale" to Dingo with his father as a passenger to attend the reception. When Roffey attempted to land his plane in the main street of Dingo, he collided with a parked car and two gate posts as he attempted to navigate around the obstacles in the street. Despite this, his fellow members from the Dingo Cricket Club hoisted him up on their shoulders and took him to the Dingo Hall where the civic reception was being held.
