A very large number of you have already. You are on the list

Bump for exposure, I have edited the opening posts showing what is on offer and where, including map links

**Hitcher** · 1st November 2009, 19:28

Chez Hitcher also has a bed and beer available.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. There are many, many KB members that have offered up beds for the travellers, their names are being collated into a database as we speak. There has been a thread up here for a while asking for anyone that wants to offer up beds. I just requested it taken off sticky as I have not had an offer in a week.

The accommodation that is listed in that thread is for the budget focussed biker, not everyone can afford to take time off work and pay for motels for a couple of nights. I have assumed those with the means will actually find their own motels. Mind you I am happy to source one for them if they can't.

Hiya
I have 3 double beds, futon and three decent sized couches as well as a double mattress. Numbers that can fit in will depend on those willing to share

. Ideal if you can bring a sleeping bag.
10K from centre of Palmie, 1k of gravel and you need to like dogs.
Big double garage and a carport so loads of undercover parking for bikes.
Couple of BBQ's we can fire up for nosh if we don't go into town. Going to WIMA the weekend before but it is local so beds available sunday- tuesday.
PM me if I can help.

On that subject, is some sort of after-match function planned?

What a good idea. Though the travellers will probably want to head home or at least part the way if they have come from really far away.

Wellington could probably do with a bit of a knees up on a Tuesday

May I be so bold as to suggest Mac's Bar, on the waterfront down by Te Papa. There is a ton of room behind that for motorcycle parking and the staff are incredibly obliging and hospitable. If it's a nice night (well, it is Wellington) there's plenty of room outside.

Brilliant idea Hitch - plenty of room indeed

Might need to give them some warning!

Sadly I'll be winging my way to Dunedin so won't be able to be there

I chased up the owner of the Feilding Holiday Park (Colin) and he has agreed to charge only $20 a night per person (sharing the cabins) so I think from a rough count up he can cater for about 60 people. You will have to bring a sleeping bag.
he has rooms and cabins and about 6 spare caravans and also tent sites available for the Monday night, they also have a 17 bed hall that at this point is available.
The rooms and cabins sleep 4 persons. you will need to be willing to share.
The camp has full kitchen and abolution facilities available.
The camp is located at 5 Arnott Street in Feilding
To book ring on 06-3235623 and remember to tell him you are part of the ACC protest run. their website is www.feildingholidaypark.co.nz

Or do we just take over the Backbencher and do some lobbying at the same time?
