Christchurch Quake Appeal Ride (Wgtn) (Sat 19 March)

[blackdog]

Christchurch Quake Appeal Ride

Event location
Porirua - Wellington - Lower Hutt

Christchurch Quake Appeal Ride


DATE: Saturday March 19th.
LEAVE TIME: 10:30am Police College Aotea Lagoon.
ARRIVAL TIME: 11:30 am The P n' J Lower Hutt
DONATION: $10 per Bike

With tributes and support coming in from around the world, now is the time to show how much we care about our own. There are thousands of Kiwis in Christchurch that need assistance now more than ever. A cash donation from bikers in the North Island will indeed help some of those who are going through desperate times.
All we are asking for is a $10 donation from each Bike.
The Appeal funds collected will be forwarded to the Salvation Army Earthquake appeal.

We urge bikers from the Horowhenua/Manawatu/Wairarapa and everywhere in between to get in a show your support and generosity for those devastated by the Christchurch Earthquake.

Nice one blackdog, thank you for taking this on, all the best. :rockon:

cheers Maha, was a no brainer really, fact is they'd be doing exactly the same for us if situations were reversed

(always thought that we'd get the big one here, not CHCH)

[Crasherfromwayback]

But please...next time...try a Sunday eh? All of us in the industry simply can't make Saturdays work...and every extra bike/$10.00 helps! Hope you get hundreds of GC's helping the cause!!!

Thanks to all of you, all of Christchurch appreciates your efforts and thoughts.
By the grace of God we never have to do a ride for an earthquake like this in Wellington.
But be assured "We Would"
Rock on Fellow Bikers :rockon:

[trailblazer]

i can't make it to auckland or wellington but i want to donate again. We have already donated to the red cross earthquake appeal could only manage $50 this week but i guess every dollar counts.

Mate you don't need to stretch yourself financially with this. You can do your part by making sure that every rider you know is very welcome to come along or donate too.

I will post details for maha's account in a sec on the OP.sorted

Well done Biker community - such an easy thing for us to do to help out



AND will be nice to see BIKES holding up traffic round the inlet for a change too! Actually I guess that might not be the way we go - anywho whatever.

Forget the clothes. Ask for xtra donations if you go nakid!

[johngalt]

thank you so much guys....

[blackdog]

BIG thank you to coffeejunkie and ms piggy for getting the details to the radio stations for us :woohoo:

[StoneY]

Thanks Blackdog for making a dedicated thread

We will be alerting the other biker groups in Wellington to assist, ride marshals etc.

We see this as a united effort from all groups and applaud ALL the organisers for taking the initiative to get the first run in Auckland under way, inspirational indeed.
Ratti here on KB was first to hit our committee up to get behind one here in Welly (as far as I know) and I have been updated with correct information that Blackdog is lead organiser here in Welly

Not meaning to hi-jack anything here in any way, just to throw all our resources into this as support.

BRONZ are looking into getting a ride badge sponsored and made - and we have taken the liberty of getting that effort underway.

We also have started organizing some entertainment at the PnJ that will have a small door charge also to be donated - the bands will play free and our mates at PnJ are almost guaranteed to provide free venue but will update in this thread as we get confirmations

FYI we are seeking corporate sponsors for the badge manufacture - many bike shops are already tapped out and have donated very heavily for the BRONZ Easter Run and may not be in position to pick up these badge costs

Thanks all who will support this initiative

[StoneY]

Forget the clothes. Ask for xtra donations if you go nakid!

Guys, please be aware Christchurch coordinators are saying NO CLOTHES they have heaps and NO BLANKETS they have heaps of those as well

They want CASH
They have not the manpower to deal with material donations.

I work for a govt org thats at the coalface of this emergency, thats straight from the horses mouth team

KBers always unite so well in these times, I am very proud of you all, and Blackdog, great work mate.

Pete - maybe your shop could do a whip around, and provide ONE rider on the day as a visible support?
Also was hoping to get to Garry for some sponsorship - but hear he is away anyone esle you can point me at there????

PM me man

Info sent to Access Radio on the sunny coast. Flyer up at work.

Bugger - there will be 40+ of us at the cliffhanger hillclimb on 19th.

Bugger - there will be 40+ of us at the cliffhanger hillclimb on 19th.

You could be the 'ambasador' at the Cliff hanger and do a collection there for us Deano????

Then put the cash into Maha's account to be passed on?

[gunrunner]

Just a thort but we could always incorporate the ride with them and call in there .
A Eartquake releif badge or patch is a brillant idea they will all sell .

[gunrunner]

I just wanna help the folk of Christchurch anyway I can, and I don't need a badge for that either.

Each to there own but i think its a brillant idea , as yrs later it will be there to show you and others that we pitched in and helped them in some way .

I cannot join you all for the ride,but,would like to contribute a donation to the cause.I just need to know how to get the funds (card ) to some one.Old Dog,Selma,Ala.USA.lm241@bellsouth.net

[Number One]

I can confirm that the event at the Parrot n Jigger is going ahead on Saturday 19th from approx 12.00 lunchtime to end of closing. There will be badges sold as a fundraiser- if you dont wish to purchase then buckets will be on the bar to collect your donation. Possibly a cover charge also going to the Red Cross..

Great - this is the important information - the event will be a success no doubt and big ups.

I will buy a badge, someone else can have it.

Isn't Stoney doing the ride thing and Ratti's crew doing the shindig at the PnJ?

[StoneY]

Isn't Stoney doing the ride thing and Ratti's crew doing the shindig at the PnJ?

To sort a few misunderstandings.

BRONZ Wellington (that includes Ratti as she ios on our commitee) is doing the gig at PnJ

Blackdog deserves ALL the credit for the ride organisation, and despite our personal histories, good work is simply good work and I commend him for the efforts taken.
BRONZ will be available to assist, and is getting a ride badge created to bolster the financial take (its NOT a BRONZ ride tho)

Hope that claifies?

PnJ has 3 bands on and gold coin collection for the duration of the gig
And a free venue
That is what BRONZ and the PnJ have arranged, rest is Blackdog's kudos, well earned too.

Way to go Ian, I look forward to riding with you again on the 19th, will you need Marshals?
BRONZ can ask a few other groups with the required experience to marshal if you like?

its the ASB bank. You must put the full name on it so it gets allocated to the correct fund.

hope this helps

[Mom]

Just to muddy the waters just a little bit more the funds raised from the ride that was organised is going to the Salvation Army. It even says so in the first post. The ride was a spin off from one that Maha is organising up here. Best you get that clarified.

[Footless]

Dont get uptight guys and gals,
Fire up the bikes, kick start your party heels, and get the gorse out of ya pockets.
Ride cause ya can
Party cause ya like to
and raise some money for those doing it hard in Chch cause ya want to.

Dont be scared to party, thats what bikers like to do, esp chch ones !!
Its sombre enough down here without you poor bastards getting morose on us.

We love your work and so appreciate you efforts, now get on with it and for fuck sake have a blast doin it

See... Kbers ROCK!!! Nice work black dog.

Yes you will have a bike for this ride Katie..... The 500 is available, with a full tank of gas, a new wof and reg and raring to go. I will not take no for an answer.:mega::argue:

[Hawkeye]

My apologies for thread hi-jack but.....

A very good friend of mine in the UK is doing a sponsored swim for charity. I have agreed (gulp!!!) to match her. 3 miles a week for the duration of March (15 miles). I'm now looking for sponsors. All sponsership money will go to the Christchurch Earthquake fund via Westpac. Westpac have agreed to match everything a staff member donates. So come on guy's, back the cause and pledge. Just another way of helping those folks down ChCh.
I will start a new thread to cover this but thought under the cicumstances :innocent::o

[Hawkeye]

YES YES YES. there is a ride and a fundraising event.



But didn't this ride already happen yesterday.....:o:whistle:

Note to self....check the date before turning up at the meeting point. Ah well got me out of the house and on the bike..:facepalm::nya:

[Ratti]

O yeah, thanks for reminding me. Gosh it was so :facepalm: when You told me about how you turned up to go on the Earthquake appeal ride...yesterday.:doh:

So, you'll be a starter for the 19th then sweety?:done:

This appears to have become a BRONZ gig now, all well and good, the cause is the same, but there is a clash of receipient organisations that needs to be clarified. Any money into the bank account listed in the first post is going to the Sallies.

Good luck guys, hope you raise HEAPS of money!

[Ratti]

Excellent point MOM.

I realise the Sallies have an appeal fund as well, but so does the SPCA,Westpac bank and umpteen other organisations...BRONZ will give all money we raise to the NZ Red Cross. Everyone else can get dollars to whichever distributor they desire.

It's all going to help the same people who need whatever we can get to them. As a poster has pointed out, these are real people with families, pets, mortgages and jobs. We are all part of the extended community and we bloody well give a toss, otherwise you'd have told me to shut up and piss off.

So this IS a BRONZ ride now! OK, just clarifying where any money will go if it gets deposited into the bank account in the first post is all. Dont want any LEGAL SHIT happening to us for not putting the money where BRONZ said it was going. Make that really clear in further posts if you dont mind, we dont want to receive any fall out either.

[junkmanjoe]

I would have liked to join in on this event but saturdays work day for me...6 day contract.....

have done a donation for red cross, i was even offered work down there to help out.

JMJ

[Ratti]

awesome stuff, Id much rather dive in and do something hands on but there is nothing I can offer in the way of practical work. The complex allowed us use of all 3 bars and the courtyard for the entire day right up to closing time so we can get maximum number of people along during the course of the day. Perhaps you could join us after work for a short time? Welly is such a small community there is bound to be someone there you know.

That's awesome :niceone:

I have a few not currently riding friends that might be keen to pop along to that.

[RiderInBlack]

I don't care who's running these as long as they happen and we raise funds for the Cantabs. Their need far out ways any other issues. When these rides happen I would like us to say we did them together as NZ'ers for NZ'ers.

Sorry guys, I have only just caught up on this now, as we had a big weekend out n about in the hotrods for the carshows that were going on.

I'll talk to StoneY tonight and we'll sort it.

Apologies for the confusion, let's put that down to miscommunication and as mr nike (and mr baldeagle) says 'just do it'.

[Flynn]

Will try and made this ride if I don't have to work.
Great Idea, many Wellingtonians supported my ride last year for Ronald McDonald House, only fair to return the favour, but I must ask, why only $10 per bike (Sorry):msn-wink:

[Ratti]

Details to come. Soon.
Nice to have you on board, look forward to seeing you.

You can also buy the ride badge and if you like drop a fiddy in the collection buckets at the PnJ

The event there will be open to all public using the Station Village bars and Cafe's to maximise the collection take.

Of course we only want sober riders leaving the event, so if you intend to drink take ya bikes home and return by other means.
PnJ are giving their band over for the 3rd band, BRONZ has organised the first two bands, kicking off on our arrival.

Good food, good times, good cause, and I just spoke with Blackdog. He is grateful for us providing marshals, its STILL his Gig (the ride) ok all?

Its good to be a biker.....
Christchurch, we will do our collective best to assist with your re-building.
Thanks to all who have contributed positively, and to Ian for getting the ball rolling, whatever the inspiration.

I will post tomorrow with two websites setup by Internal Affairs to give full details on official government sponsored support systems for the quake relief, loads of good info there, just forgot to send the URLs home.

At the request of the OP, some posts which are no longer relevant have been removed, to reinforce the positive message of the thread.

hi there, Count myself and the other half in. Cheers Jonesy GO CHCH

[StoneY]

Aye...come by and grab my donation at least!

Big ups to all organizing such things.

Just wondering....would making WMCC a stop as mid ride point be a good idea???

Positive feedback sought please - lets plan as safe a route as possible

Big thanks stoney, ratti and bronz for getting in behind us to make sure this is going to be successful.

The thought of getting into town, and past wmcc had crossed my mind, how many bikes do we realistically expect?

Riding past might not be outta the question, in through terrace tunnel and out along the quays. If it's possible logistically it would be cool to ride through Wellington, but traffic will be heavy through there at that time too I suspect.

[chanceyy]

Ok just to make sure I have the right end of the stick (and for a few others who are confused)

Ride $10 per bike (yes)
Badges can be purchased (cost is ? )
donation tins for the bands at P & J (no other door charges)?

just helps for ppl to know how much cash to bring esp those who budget :sunny:

now to check the Tri dates as have a tri that weekend as well :whistle:

[Ms Piggy]

Can the badges only be purchased if you go to P'n'J after the ride? I'd like a badge but have other commitments so can't go to P'n'J.
Thanks, Ms Piggy

[blackdog]

Thank you all for your support so far.

After brief consultation with the organising parties, we think the best route is as follows.

1030 leave Police College.

All assemble again at Caltex, Old Hutt Road to pick up our scooter friends, lets say 1100 ish (north of ngaio gorge lights), and all others that couldn't make it to Aotea Lagoon.

From here it is straight to the P n' J. We will decide if we go straight to melling or via the esplanade and cuba st depending on the hands in the air to muscle the lights for us.

Thanks all for getting behind us to make this work, I can't wait to meet you on the day.

[blackdog]

Thanks, Ms Piggy

I'll make sure there is one with ur name on it. Stay in touch sweet.

[Ratti]

the badges will have NO REFERENCE to BRONZ. This is about the Earthquake Appeal, lets keep it that way.

Anyone can buy one, including punters at the Station complex. due to the short notice, our badge maker cant get these done in time. Order forms will be circulating with a pic of the badge ( the design is sorted ) pay us $10 on the day, and we will post it to you in about a month. We need a minimum of 100 orders, if we don't get that many, then your money will go directly to the fund as a donation.

Ian will be pleased that the BRONZ secretary has cleared up confusion regarding liabilities of the organiser. My bad on this one, I was confused about liability. I've been organising rides using the requirements for competitive events, and these are not necessary for an event of this type. Only requirement is good manners from participants and for riders to follow normal road rules, no blocking traffic, running red lights. The Police will be watching closely and ticketing anyone silly enough to try it on.

Im looking forward to meeting you all, do bowl on up and make yourself known. Im the tall middle-aged woman with waist length dreads. Probably riding Ducky on the day ( bright yellow hyper scoot )

see you all on the 19th

Thanks Ratti you are a gem. Not often something like this gets easier as it goes along!

Anyone organising groups from manawatu/horowhenua, and wairarapa to meet up with us? (don't want the aucks showing us up now do we?)

[Ratti]

BD, it's a pleasure working with you hon.:niceone:

p.s. given the shocking weather this morning here in soggy Wellington, wots the plan in case its raining on the day. The gig at the Station Complex can go ahead, will you still ride regardless?

Flags/Ribbons whatever you want.

That will depend on where the youngest is playing cricket but a bloody good idea.

I'll have my youngest tagging along and eating wedges while I sell badges. We can park the kids safely in a corner and let them get on with eating while we do Big Person stuff.

I know the PC crowd will be horrified, but the Station complex is a very family friendly place during the day.

My youngest is 11 so he's quite capable of emptying my wallet whilst consuming food.I'll see if I can do it for sure.

Nice new paint job too mate!

On a very sad note - BRONZ Wellington could not secure sufficient fund support to manufacture thr ride badge
Let me explain

On all our 'charity' events that are not a singular BRONZ internal fundraiser, we get 'sponsors' for the badge so the full amount of the badge sale goes into the collection.
This happened with SPCA, its happening for our Easter run too

Sadly, all our usual sources are totally tapped out
Bike shops in Wellington have paid up heaps towards the Eartquake in other collections and there is nothing left to give

Ian's wife made a last minute attempt to get some funding from IRD but we have missed the deadline for badge production at EOB today

Costs are just over 500$ for the badges to be cast, painted and issued.

Without solid sponsordhip of at least 400$ this is a non starter, as the return will just not equal the outlay or the administration.
Posting them out post event again would swallow funding resources best allocated to the collection for the event.

Very sorry folks, unless we get a solid offer of 500$ or even 400$ sponsoship before 3pm TODAY - we just cant do the ride badge.

I know there was a lot of interest in the badge, and have beat my head on many walls in frustration over the shortfall.
To make it worth it, there has to be a sponsor and none has been found in time

Anyone who wanted a badge, please, just donate the extra at the aftermatch, or to the ride registrar at the Lagoon

My sincerest appologies for this, we really, REALLY tried and came up short.
Anyone finding a last minute sponsor PM detail as soon as possible.

Otherwise...sorry no badge (and the design tenderede was awesome too........)

I counted 105 bikes parked around the back at the P n J.Heres a pic of most of the bikes at The Lagoon.

Awesome turnout guys! A huge thank you to everyone who came and gave their support and all who helped make it come together.

Also an extra big thanks to the lovely ladies pointing everyone in the right direction in the Hutt.

$1200 raised, Wellington (and everyone from further afield) you rock!

[Gone Burger]

A good day indeed. And Well done to you Ian for your top effort! Great to see a decent turn out, and always a pleasure to ride into town in convoy.

Hi Paul - that must have been early as when we all left, both sides of the road were parked up. What a great sight!!

[Quasi]

well done Ian, for putting this together, and well done all the riders who came along and supported this fund raiser for Christchurch. Its always sheer joy to see a whole group of bikes and riders, moving in convoy, comrades in arms.
Bike riders are such an awesome group of people, all diverse but all together side by side, when others need help of any sort.

[Ratti]

Not far off on numbers. I got 110, not everyone parked around the back.

God Im hopeless at remembering y'all! Apologies to riders who chatted and I didnt have a clue who you are but you know me...:Oops: Would help if you keep the same bikes and facial hair guys!

Nice cruisey turnout folks. No incidents that I heard of. Hopefully the party is still going strong, totally gorgeous day to sit around in the sun and talk b*s. And isnt that what bikers do best?

[Mom]

Fantastic effort guys! We manaaged a bit over 300 bikes and a grand total of $4000 raised! Fabulous day out. Watch Prime news and Maori news tonight, they covered the event for us.

as far as the eye could see :)

Great effort on your part in organising todays run - and big thanks to all the helpers too :) Great turn out for a good cause - but we wouldn't have expected anything else huh :) Fab day for it... cheers

[Mom]

A glorious autumn day today saw several hundred motorcyclists turn out to raise money for the victims of the Earthquake in Christchurch. There were riders from Whangarei, Hamilton, Tauranga and Auckland that converged on the Muddy Waters Tavern at Mercer, and in Wellington 150 odd riders rode to the Parrot and Jigger for the same cause, the grand sum of $1200 was raised there.

The Auckland ride saw 275 riders gather at the BP at Dairy Flat. The gals from WIMA were standout collectors of donations in their pink jackets. After the rider briefing, we geared up and made our way down the motorway in convoy to Mercer. Watching the bikes stream to the parking area at Mercer, were dozens of riders from other areas.

More donations were gathered and counted and the organisers were able to announce that $4000 had been raised in Auckland for the cause. This money will be donated to the Salvation Army for use at ground level in Christchurch. The organisers, Mark & Anne James in Auckland and Iain Cook in Wellington, would like to thank everyone for their support and help today.

A brilliant day, with a fantastic turn out, and a wonderful amount of money raised.

[Berg]

Fantastic day:niceone: Was great to catch up with everybody and get to ride in a well behaved group.
Pokie and I decided a coffee in Featherston was the go afterwards and were saddened to see a Hyabusa rider laying on the Rumatakas waiting for an ambulance:shit: We got a thumbs up on the way past so hopefully all was well.
Great to combine a nice days riding with a bloody good cause

We would like to provide you a letter of thanks and acknowledgement though after the event, a copy of which you can send to all the participants, if you like. Best of luck with everything and thanks so much for doing this for us.

Could you provide me with your address & phone number so we can load you in our system in order to assign payment. I will then provide you with the bank account number and a reference to put on the payment.

Kindest regards,
James
