Yeah - OK Maha - will do as per the PM.

I've emailed my clients to see if I can drum up some more spot prizes - will advise.

Can mum see if it is OK to put a Salvation Army Logo on the poster please?

The man I need to talk to is away from his desk at the moment. He will ring me on his return. The woman I spoke to said she could not see an issue, but good on us for asking. As soon as I hear I will let you know.

The TV is often announcing charity events for CHCH. Have you guys talked to the TV channels to get them to announce this one?

That will be happening, Anne has an extensive media contacts list. There are offers coming in on a daily bases. A stunt rider offered a show for free on the day, I declinded that offer for now. I want to keep this simple as possible. There could room for such and event at another time though.
I am going to use Kiwibiker as a major supporter for this event ok?

Maha - I think now this is becoming national we (Kiwirider) should just give a cash donation instead. Seems better taste? Good idea when it was needing a boost.

Delete it from the banner if you agree - leave it and it will be honoured.

Cash is good Dave thank you...I was trying to keep away from the time incured with raffles/spot prizes, though would have greatfully accepted the KR offer.
So ok, I will delete it from the banner and add KR as a supporter.

Should be a great ride.

Wish I could come, but am taking a fellow KBer to sit her BHS test that day at the same time... which is all good as she will support the future charity rides!!! (well she does anyway but in the future she will ride her own bike)
