The National Party Northern Spring Conference is on tomorrow on Mangere. I think this would be a good place for a large group of bikers to show up before the conference as party members are arriving, perhaps with some signs and banners. Would anybody else be keen on this? If we get enough bikers I'm sure we can get some press from this.

KB Calendar Entry
Please indicate your attendance on the Calendar so we can get an idea of numbers.

If there are any members here who are also members of the National Party Northern Division, presumably you are invited to go into the conference room and discuss party policies! Hooray!

I'm sure the organisers will be flexible enough to add "ACC levies on Motorbikes" to the agenda if there is enough support from the attendees.

Just remember to bring your Nat Party ID card and/or RSVP to the organiser so she knows to expect you, otherwise you may be mistaken for a biker and kept outside.

If there were enough of us outside as they begin to arrive, I'm sure it will come up as a topic of conversation.

Can those who plan to go, please sign up as attending. Reason is , if there's only a handful it's better not to do it, looks like we don't care much.

**cheesemethod** · 17th October 2009, 17:17

Could you put the address and a time on the calender entry?

**Ixion** · 17th October 2009, 17:26

Done

Airport Oaks Centra hotel, Corner Ascot and Kirkbride Rd mangere.

We're thinking 3pm, which is when he's scheduled to leave, unless someone has other thoughts.

Probably won't be able to get close to the place for cops, but we will line up along the route with placards and horns.

The time is a bit uncertain we're trying to find out if anyone knows the drill for these htings, in case 3pm just means that's when the speeches finish and he settles down to several hours of wine and cheese.

I would have thought that turning up before it starts would be the best idea, it would be more of a talking point that way.

you's are all talk

Only thing is we're not sure when he arrives. Given the starting time, he may stay overnight. And could arrive from any direction , depending on if he's coming from his hhome in Parnell or from the Airport.

I'm easy , what do people think.

No reason probably why we can't try for both ?

Well I'm not, just seeing how many people on KB actually care enought to get on their bike ... if they can't be bothered with something simple like this can they be bothered with the BIKOI?

Anyway, why don't you mono your holy ass all the way up from Hamilton and join in? It's not that far.

Good point, but are we aiming for just JK or the whole Nat party?

Also if there's a mod floating about can you put the date (18/10/09) into the title of this thread?

**klingon** · 17th October 2009, 17:44

I vote for being there at the beginning! Mr Key is unlikely to stay the night on site given he is near his home in Parnell. Whatever direction he arrives from he will see us there!

Talk is easy, especially from in front of a PC keyboard.

I may yet be the only one there, at Airport Oaks. But by Jesus I'll be there at 9:30 am.

You all can stay tucked up in bed while you rant and rave.

The TV cameras will be there. So will I.
