23 Jan - sponsored Christchurch public education event

[The Lone Rider]

Thanks to all that came. Well more than listed in the attendance- got to talk to lots and lots of people. All the petition sheets were full, and so we moved to the back of the sheets and half of those are full.

Seems Joe Public does care, they just don't know enough about it all nor do they know what they can do about it.

just to add, the shop staff were getting a lot questions which were referred back to us, I also wish to thank all those that came along or helped. I think the Group achieved want it aimed to do with this event and was raise public awareness of want is to come.

Well, seemed to go OK - even tho I only got there late & managed to almost stuff-up the day it was on... Great Repco were happy with it too, seemed a very good spot. No negativity towards the bigger "front page" rides" either, but we'll need some of these ower-key chipping-away sort of events - lots of people generally (and genuinely) worried about ACC and it's direction eg most hadn't heard of the new rules re the skifield operators (staff levies up 80%, guessing because they don't want ACC to be directly seen as levying sports - or they can't work out a way of doing it - so they levy the business instead) so that will be one to cover going into winter!

Oh ... and don't get them started on the Nats, gawd that was really poking the hornets nest!
