Next year we will need to change venues, while the Hamilton City Council has been extremely generous allowing us to use these beautiful gardens, we have had some awesome offers of entertainment, but are unable to have certain entertainment on Council Property.
Also the area has suddenly become a little small - we would also like to be in a position to invite more people/companies/clubs with displays, and a few more entertainment options.

We celebrate our first birthday with official registration as a charitable entity within the Charities Commission for Education, Research and Support.
Our Registration number is CC28436

The spirit and the energy of the many people involved with BADD, turning such a tremendous tragedy into something very positive, added to the voice of youth, makes this quite a unique, almost refreshing, and enlightening warm fuzzy for a lot of people. We do what we can.

Thanks to all who support this years Rally, between the Motorcycle Clubs, Businesses, members of the Community, many parts of the Motorcycling fraternity and in particular, here at KB, Members that have really got behind NZ.BADD, your support has been, and is, very much appreciated.

Cheers

Rest assured that whenever a customer comes into work that I enlighten them not only to the ride but to the fantastic cause it is all for.
You're doing a fantastic job Jos...you must know that

Thankyou mate!!

Oh Im just doin it, and its not just me, but good bastards (much like yourself!) rolling their sleeves up and jumping in on the train, its about changing attitudes.
There had to be a positive out of this tragedy, this path doesnt change anything at all, but reminds us what is most important, and to be apart of a change. Its so easy to do.
Thankyou though darlin, your too kind, sir.

I'm currently trying my best to get my bike in order for this run (bloody exhaust falling apart and engine running rough) as my daughter wants to come too (she's at Mt College). It was a good run last year. Fingers crossed I can make it - if not my thoughts will be with you all.
