WELLINGTON DOWN SYNDROME ASSOCIATION
FAMILY WALK FUN DAY
TO BE HELD ON SUNDAY 20TH MARCH 2011
AT HARCOURT PARK UPPER HUTT

They are asking if anyone would be able to bring their bikes for the kids to sit on for photos. Most of these kids have never even sat on one and this would make their day. We will charge a small fee of 50 cents per photo and all proceeds will go to the WDSA. Anyone interested??? It's for a great cause. These guys get zero funding from the government. Would be between 11am and 12pm bbq provided dollar a sausie.

I'll keep a note of it.No promises but would like to help a good cause like this if I'm available.

The more the merrier, recon there's about 60 - 80 people gonna be there. Will be a good day... and the cause is well worth it. Even my sad little FZR will be showing itself. Can anyone put a attending thingy on this? I don't know how

Hey CFWB if you need someone to ride on of your demos to it I can probably accomodate...

**John_H** · 2nd March 2011, 14:50

I'll put it on the calendar.

What a brilliant idea, anything like that happening in the Auckland area?

**Trudes** · 2nd March 2011, 15:58

Maybe someone with a nice race bike might like to take it down, the kids might get a kick out of sitting on a real race bike!

An hour isn't long enough for this

might as well say 11am onwards aye? make it a good day out of it. This money will go towards swimming, speech therapy etc etc as The down syndrome does not get ANY FUNDING...... So maybe I should try to organise a annual Down Syndrome bike ride???? Who would I talk to about that. anyone?

Organising events is very easy, all you need is great idea (you have got that part covered) now you need the right people to get in behind that idea and make it happen, any more than say 3-4 people and you start to run into trouble. Keep it simple and try not to expand or wander to far from the original idea. Basically thats it.

I was thinking something real cool like nice Repsol Honda or a sexy Ducati or something, not a shitty little MB100 (I can't believe I just called my Rangi shitty, but he's really not that impressive when you compare him to a GSXR in full race trim, as much as that really does pain me to say)

Oh and I'll be racing that day.
