Cheers

I am happy to talk to the track and find things out, but has anyone else on the site done it before ie. hired the track? Having not been there, I don't know the setup, but can find out numbers for different areas and get a consensus.

On stunters, a couple hang out with the local yami shop, will stop in there and ask for contacts.

Think the big thing to be carefull of is not too closely promoting the track day and the piss up....Carooba will not been keen to be seen as promoting drink driving (riding), so think we should say track open from .... to.... security to be on the track, no bikes on track after booze starts to flow....thoughts?

I agree 100% in regards to alcohol vs liquor!!

Not a good look for them, or road users in general.

My thoughts were to start at say 9.00am
The invitees can elect to particpate in
Track Racing
Trail Riding
Road/Touring
Motorcycle Skills handling (great for novices or new riders etc)
Then once the days riding activites are over we start the show
Stunt and Freestyle events, then onto music and other entertainment, and then into some liquor.
Maybe a good option to perhaps looking at compulsory breath testing and a disclaimer as such.
We will promote the "No drink driving/riding rule very seriously"

Can one of our "Blue" members help with a loaner breath tester?

Anal yes, but could make them look good re the responsible tact, which might work in our favour.

Good ideas re the schedule Zukin!

Would we want to be camping on the site or near the site?

Anyone know any farmers near the track? Is there farms near the track?????

i agree as well good point

Last time I had any involvement with taupo the guy at the track was called grumpy if you are the one to talk to him tell him the whole story (ie is a comp for a Coruba party) cause getting off side track management down the line is not a good thing aye. Only a suggestion but should the name of the party contain the word Coruba? I think in the way marketing this bad boy 'fun for the whole family' (until the lights go out and track shuts) is the safest way to go as its far more likely to get positive general media coverage, something all corperations yearn for.

If I can give a hand id be happy to help ive got limited proposal and event management experience (mostly uni stuff) .

I think a camping party would be great even if it is the camp down the road!

Could also organise two big vans to drive one from Welly and one from Auckland so that we can load all the gear we want and not have carry it on the bikes.

Well The website has an option to create a party profile. If someone can or has done this then let us know the party number and then the rest of us can register and login the party number and show our interest in that party. Hopefully the numbers will do the talking.

Updated first post, with the basic idea so far!!

**Ozzie** · 18th July 2006, 11:23

Track Hire (dates and booking etc) - When is the best time? Not sure of others commitments, or when other races etc are on, don't want to clash with anything so we get max turnout

Stunt riders and Freestyle riders entertainment. - Will put a post in the stunt area

Someone to take organise the Track Racing events - ???

Someone to organise the Trail rides - ???

Someone to organise the Road rides - Perhaps approach Marty and/or Trumpy? They know the area well.

Bands and entertainment - ???

Fireworks Display - ??? Can ask some questions

Safety on the track (I can arrange the marshals and paramedics) - ???

Security (for the entire event) - Taupo Lions Club

Family Event Organiser - Approach one of the residents groups in the area

Drag Racing Organiser - ???

General Organiser (rubbish, bars, camping etc) - Taupo Lions Club

Legal - anyone a lawyer on here that would draft together disclaimers etc? - ????

A thought, using the Lions Club and other community groups for some of the logistics could be good. They are usually well rehersed in what is required, and usually well connected. We have the added advantage that they usually only charge a donation, could negotiate with them, and we can say to Coruba that we are giving back to the community.....Thoughts?

**Ozzie** · 18th July 2006, 11:25

Another consideration, we need to be sure where ever we are camping caters for bike parking. Don't want people to have to try and keep their bike off the ground in a soft padock on only a side stand.

Also... If you decide to use some of the money on a bike (for a prize), which bike would you be looking at? And what would the competition be to enter for the bike?

Also if you decide on the bike model, you may wanna post it now just so some of the KB'ers who are good with Photoshop or whatever, can play around with a Coruba design for it, just incase you wanna do that option.

Yes you are right, I guess the Dealer/Manufacturer that gives us the best deal?? will earn the rights to have their bike up as a prize.

Also yes we do need somone to make a logo for the Party, any helpers??

**Ozzie** · 18th July 2006, 12:32

Will get one of the boys from work to have a play, if they are keen, will let you know.

Sweet, so who's doing that?

Also has anyone asked SpankMe if "KiwiBiker" can be used in the party name at all... he may not want to be affiliated it...

Also has anyone asked Big Dave if he is keen to be the party photographer?

And for those who are going to play around with the design of the bike... it has to be GOLD.

Edit: On the "Tips" page they have a few good ideas...

If you end up organising a field, could look at making a mud pit and having mud wrestling (hehe)

And just for Indy: Choose a costume that makes you look hot e.g Fighter pilot lol

They keep mentioning "promote gold".... gold body paint for organisers and staff is coming to mind... or perhaps a "gold" theme and everyone has to have something gold on...

Edit again: Or perhaps a jamacian theme... as it is rum after all

I tried to sign up on to your party but the website was being a pain! Will keep trying or do you have any tips??

Also If you want to sign write my bike in Coruba etc I would love that as it would cover up the crack
