Local riders.. please pass the word out to everyone you know, to set aside this day to join in!!!

I have been around a heap of shops seeking sponsorship & still have more to do... mostly everyone has been hugely supportive!!!

We are looking to auction off the items that have been sponsored (including, helmets, gloves, load of firewood etc etc!!) & will have a few spot prizes as well! We have also decided to have pre-paid tickets available at a few selected shops (TBA), & those who purchase a pre paid $10.00 ticket will go in the draw to win one of 2 x $100 baskets of goodies from Liquor King!

There will be a sausage sizzle ($1.50) & free tea/coffee available back at the base.

I will update this thread as things become finalised.. so I suggest that you "subscribe" to the thread, that way you will not miss out on any important info!!

Stay tuned!!!!!!!!!!!

Your blood is worth bottling mate! Jen is in Christchurch this weekend at a biker education day. I expect great things from her when she gets back home! Thank you for your support!
