Looks like you are getting a heap of support down there Jen!

[MyGSXF]

Ok folks.. here's an update on our run! :scooter:

(I will go back & amend the original post too...)


Meet at the Richmond A & P Showgrounds, Lower Queen St at 10am.. we leave at 10.30

We will be heading up Queen St, along Salisbury Rd, Main Rd Stoke, Waimea Rd, Rutherford St, Selwyn Pl, Trafalgar St, Halifax St, Haven Rd, Wakefield Quay, Rocks Rd, Tahunanui Dr, Parkers Rd, Bolt Rd, McLaren Dr, Trent Dr, & into to the car park area at the Helicopter base. Arriving approx 12pm :yes:

We will have a Police escort lead car & others who will be manning the lights so that we can ride through as a big group! :Police: I decided that since it will be Winter & I am aiming for at least 200+ bikes to be present.. that we would do a shorter, large group, high impact ride here.. rather than "go for a "ride" around the region!

I have been around a heap of shops seeking sponsorship & still have more to do... mostly everyone has been hugely supportive!!! :2thumbsup

We are looking to auction off the items that have been sponsored & will have a few spot prizes as well! :D 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 $90 baskets of goodies from Liquor King! :drinkup:

There are still a lot of details to be finalised, so stay tuned.. but my aim is to make this event as BIG as possible & draw as MANY of our local motorcyclists out of the Winter woodwork to support our Rescue Helicopter!!!!!

Paula has to raise between $500,000 & $1 Million per year.. to keep our helicopter operational!!!!!!!!!! :gob:

so PLEEEEEASE pass the word around, for people to come along!!!!! :Punk:

Jen :rockon:

[Maha]

Geez Jen, I might come down to the south Island for the 28th...sounds like shit load of fun down there....

Jen :rockon:

Your ride sounds like it is going to go off! I will get a little something down for you to read out at your gather points about the cheesecutter campaign soon. I promise to get some more petition forms to you as well.

[MyGSXF]

Our awesome posters that Paula made up, are being printed at the mo :Punk: & I have got one of the local newspapers coming out tomorrow to do an interview & get a pic :eek: & the other paper next week, to do the same.. :eek:

Have been collecting some awesome bits & pieces for the auction.. & am working on a big grand finale auction package.. :msn-wink:

stay tuned.... :niceone:

Oh.. & did I mention.. :rolleyes: that Garden City Helicopters will be offering rides on the day in their R22 helicopter, for the small sum of $50, which all goes to the Summit Rescue Helicopter!! :wari: WOOHOO!!!!!!!!! :2thumbsup


I will get a little something down for you to read out at your gather points about the cheesecutter campaign soon.

That would be great Anne, thanks :banana: I've been wondering what I am going to do/say about the cheesecutter issue, on the day.. :crazy:

[Mom]

Madness in some peoples eyes to combine the two issues. Really though it is as much an opportunity to bring the awareness back to the public as anything else. Wear those red arm bands. Take the petition out there and get some signatures! Show the car under the wire rope, show the truck over the wire rope. These things are not safe for any road user. They are acceptable and cheap! They catch cars and prevent head on collisions in some instances. Sadly, they are not being installed in a safe way here, and against the guidelines that are in place to mitigate their ability to maim and kill.

Ooops... back on topic

I will send you a little something to say on the day. Meantime just get the petition out there to be signed, and raise a heap of money for your helicopter!!!

[MyGSXF]

Check out the poster Paula has put together.. AWESOME aye!!!!!! :wari:

ps: don't go to the shops to get your tickets just yet.. they're still at the printers!! :whistle: should be in the shops next week! :niceone:

You are the man Jen.....:dodge:
Seriously top effort 'matey potatey'... I am over the moonly happy with how this Event has grown over the last 5-6 weeks. Everyone is doing an extemely good job for their regions. We are having a meeting on Sunday so that we can talk through the day's comings and goings with the 10 riders we have in our group. Shane (Deputy Editor Motorcycle Trader) will be there with us and he also is coming on the ride.

[FLYMO]

osh requirements for the helicopter base at nelson airport?
will there need to be a register like at auckland?

[MyGSXF]

osh requirements for the helicopter base at nelson airport?
will there need to be a register like at auckland?

I will check with Paula about OSH.. sbut he hasn't mentioned anything like that. They did have their yearly public open day about a month or so ago, so I would imagine that any sort of requirement would have had to have been organised/ or whatever, for that.

I will put a event notice up on the calendar.. can put an attendance register on too.. but seeing how as there are only a handfull of KB'rs in Nelson, it won't look too flash.. :rolleyes:

The reporter for the "Leader" newspaper came today & have got the "Waimea Weekly" coming next week. Am contacting the Nelson Evening Mail & the Buy Sell Swap paper also. There are about 500 posters being printed up at the moment which will go to all the bike shops & heaps of other places as well & the radio will be advertising for us too. :mega: So am relying on all of the posters, the media, local bike clubs & word of mouth to spread the news of this event! :psst:

so get to it!!! :2thumbsup

[FLYMO]

cool
been chatting toa few around town that are keen to come out in support

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?

You'll be please to know that the chopper people are doing their bit too. Just got an email from Paula asking if I was going to be around for this ride. Got 9 weeks to complete my masters degree and have some real heat on so cant make it unfortunately.

Good luck with the fund raising. They did a bloody good job getting me to hospital when I broke my neck last year - even if the chopper was a little small for me :D

Hmmm...possibly not the best weekend in the world! Luckily they'll be
hard working to keep them warm!!

Cheers
Philip Duncan.


Auckland: Showers and cold southerlies
Hamilton: Cold southerlies kicking in with showers slowly easing.
Tauranga: Showers clearing with cold sou'westers.
Rotorua: Cold with a few showers, clearing later. Sou'westers easing.
Hawkes Bay: Could be a shower, otherwise sunny with cold sou'westers.
Manawatu: Showery and cold with a southerly kicking in.
Nelson: Small risk of a shower, otherwise sunny and cloudy periods with
cold southerlies.
Christchurch: Very cold southerlies and showers.
Dunedin: Bitterly cold southerlies, cloudy and a few showers.

So looks like you will be the lucky ones :banana:

WOOHOO!!!!!! what a WICKED day out!!!!! :wari:

We were absolutely blessed to see the sun shining this morning & a lovely day was bestowed upon us!! :sunny: so out of the woodwork they came... & we had approx 180 bikes join us for the ride into town :2thumbsup

The Police lead vehicle & supporting officers did a superb job of manning all the traffic lights for us!!! :first: Stopping traffic & riding through red lights is sooo much fun!!! :devil2: Along with an awesome team of helpers who controlled the rest of the intersections for us.. resplendent in their sexy fluro ensemble!!! TOP effort guys!!!! :2thumbsup

Had a slight miscalculation with the timing aspect.. which meant we arrived about an hour early at our destination... :whistle: but the crowd were happy to mingle & natter amongst themselves while my folks & the Richmond Lions & Lionesses got the bbq's cranking!!

A weeee while later, we were into it, with yours truly taking charge of the mike with the welcoming speech, thanking the amazing sponsors for their incredible generosity, the cheesecutter campaign information.. then we were into the auction!!

At the end of the day.. we have thusfar raised $4700.00 :woohoo:

3 auction items however did not reach reserve.. so they are being listed on Trademe! (will add the link on here tomorrow.. so stay tuned!!)

The items are:

Tandem Skydive
Serengetti sunglasses & eye exam
Maui Jim sunglasses & eye exam

Ummmm.. I was sooo busy running round like a headless chook.. that I didn't actually take any photos of the bikes... I am hoping those who have taken some.. will put some up on here.. pleeeeeease!!! ta muchly!!

Anyhoooo.. I am being taken out for tea.. so I better get off my butt & get outta these leathers that I'm still wearing.. & get into some girly getup... :eek:

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to everyone for your support!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
