I have to makes this very clear, what is happening on June 28 is NOT a Cheesecutter Protest Ride. Its a Fund Raiser for your Local/Regional Rescue Helicopter. The CC has been added as an secondary issue, the two go together very well. While alot of work has been done in both camps, it is not a protest ride only. If you feel that its the way you want to go with it ,then theres nothing I can do about that. I thank you Chri5tina for getting in behind the Event day.

PS: I am not having a go at you, just trying to make sure you understand what this day is all about. Have a read through My thread and the others to see what they are doing. Any help we can offer? just ask...Mark

It is great to see you getting this off the ground! I will send down a resource pack to you guys so you can start to get some signatures on the petition. Have a look at

www.cheesecutter.co.nz

for some background about them, there is also a .pdf petition form there you can download, or you can sign online.

Can you please email your flier too? I am keeping a record of what is happening where on the day. Thanks.

Can you email me a copy of your flyer as well and i will see if my daughter can put it up in the hospital.

The Marketing Manager for Westpac is offering a heap of helicopter money boxes to our rides, use them for decoration on your bikes, prizes or whatever. Her thinking is that it is a visual aid to the fundraising. We are saying yes to them. Do you guys want some too?

I presume this ride is still on ? - is there a plan B if the weather is shitty? (Friday ain't looking good and we'll see the Sat forecast tonight)

It would have been good to have had an advert in the bike section of the ODT on Sat. Could you ask BRONZ Otago to email something out to their members with email addresses? I have spoken to a few people who were completely unaware this thing was on so we all need to spread the word.

I am sure the ride is still on. hayd3n stepped up to the plate to do something after weeks of us attempting to get anything happening down there. He should be supported in his efforts to get something happening, this is his very first attempt at something like this. Perhaps you could PM him and offer some assistance?
