The BIKEOI needs regional coordinators

[Ixion]

Is this going to be co-ordinated with the other bike groups ... e.g. ulesys (sp) HOG clubs etc ... doing this may create a bigger impact and real punch!

Where we can.

Ulysses are working on something, but they're talking about not doing it until January, which IMHO is far too late.

HOG can't do anything because their constitution forbids anything political. Go figure

As soon as I can I'll collate the coordinators (don't worry it won't hurt - much. Just a couple of wee snips ) and see what we can arrange as a structure . The regional coordination is going to be critical.

[Ixion]

As far as can figure (not sure if some people were volunteering or just commenting) we have

Raumati area Bald Eagle (could you handle as far away as Wanganui ?)
Stoney Wellington
Dan Mapp and PaulMac - Naki
Horowhenua (and P. Norf?) DaveReid
Hawke Bay - Yungatart (Can you extend to Gisbourne?)
Jantar Central Otago (As far souf as Dunedin?)
Auckland - Busa Pete

So we still need people for

Far Norf - surely the Hard Crew haven't gone soft cock
Roundabouta (aka Tauranga)
Taupo/Rotavegas/central
Christchurch
Nelson
West Coast
Right hand bottom bit of North Island, Masterton n so on

And, ideally at least one more for Wellington itself and Auckland, just cos they're biggish places.

If you were volunteering and I've left you off, please clarify

If you can help, nows the time to put your hand up

I am happy to put my hand up for the central North Island.

(If this line of action is what BRONZ decide is our best option).

[Ixion]

Not a matter of BEST options, but parallel options

Submissions
Political complaint
Public awareness.

All three.

All please remember: BIKEOI is AS WELL as putting in submissions, writing to your MP , and the newspapers. Not instead of.

Could wrap Wairarapa up into Welly region, Ill happily meet em all at the Taka hill top, and BE's team will rendezvous with us

[Mully]

I'm happy to 2IC in Auckland - (no idea what I'd be doing, so I'd rather be assisting someone who does know. Ideal Gopher material)

[Katman]

Fair enough.

If BRONZ decide that this is one of our options.

(And yes, I'm sure that it will be one of the options decided on).

haven't heard anything from Quasi so you're elected. The Tron could handle two , if Quasi is a starter.

Im going to the bank on monday to see if i could grab some kind of loan to get a bike..

So, If all going well, I would gladly be a helper to someone around the horowhenua/kapiti if one got set up there. All depending on whether i can actually get a bike.

[nothingflash]

Hey guys - I've missed soemthing... I get the jist of it but can someone tell me what BIKEOI means? I'm sure it's glaringly obvious.

Remember the HIKOI where the nations representatives from some of the Iwi and Maori and all sorts of Kiwi's walked through NZ to Parliament?

We do it on bikes is all
