Helicopter base visit, 28 June

**Mom** · 27th May 2008, 16:14

Hi guys

We have to complete an OSH form for the Auckland Helicopter Trust for our visit to the base on June 28th. The visit is booked for 5:00pm (the riders expect to get back to Mechanics Bay between 5:00 and 5:30pm). The CEO will be there to give us a guided tour of the base! If you are intending to meet the end of the ride with money raised, or signed petition forms or both please register here as we need to say how many adults and children to expect. Thank you.

Register here...

How many adults and kids Wendy, the form needs the numbers to be split.

**Mrs Busa Pete** · 10th June 2008, 07:36

That would be 4 Adults and 2 kids.

Look forward to meeting you. I will be the one that falls off the back of Maha mans bike, slapping my bum, with a very glazed look in the eyes after counting all the money we are going to raise!

I'll be the one walking like John Wayne with a carrot up his bum.

Noice

Now there is a mental picture I could have done without!

**Luckylegs** · 13th June 2008, 20:33

Luckylegs + wife and 2 kids...

so that'll be 2 adults and 2 kids (despite my wifes assertion that it would be 3 kids).

Since Im just a "baby" in post count terms I cant see who commented on the helicopter avatar via Rep but yeh.... I found it because my kids got given a couple of them about six months ago. Unfortunately, Ive gone looking for them but cant find em (damm kids).

It would certainly be something worth asking the Westpac contacts about...

If id been able to find em I was going to affix to the back of the bike. In lieu of that Im considering painting up and old single seat race tail (which is shaped remarkably like the front of a helicopter) to look like the chopper.

Hopefully Westpac and the heli people wont be to worried about any trademark stuff (too much)

That would have been me with the rep. And dont worry about the westpac getting twitchy about using the image and name, I have had an email pasted here
Hi Anne & Mark

I am hoping you might be able to send me your phone number so I can call you. We were wondering if there was a way we can perhaps enhance the fantastic fundraiser you have been managing through some prizes and or other activity?

Would it be possible to have a chat?

Many thanks
Bec Williams
Sponsorship Manager
Marketing & Brand Experience

and am waiting a call to discuss what they can do to help brand us. Will keep you all posted on this.

The race tail idea is primo....do it I say!
The 1st lot of rep was from me......look after it....

Interesting notes: Was reading about the Westpac Helicopter last weekend and two points that stuck in my mind were....
1... it cost $7000 per hour to keep it in the air... (but if you are Lonely Steve then that figure is not right)
2... The trust do not get paid by ACC if they deliver a body ie: if a person that they pick up dies enroute, ACC dont pay out.
