Wairarapa Sprints and Gladstone Hillclimb

**Deano** · 17th August 2006, 13:29

I have just had the inside gossip on these two events.

There are BIG plans afoot people, but they will need volunteers and some support.

A meeting is being held at the top pub in Greytown on Monday 21 August at 7.30pm, to discuss the ideas and work out what will be required to make it happen.

I am hoping to go along. Place your interest here and we can car pool there from Wgtn/Hutt if you're keen.

Time to step up people.

Bugger - gunna be outta town damit....

I'd like to help 'cos I like the idea. I'd be keener if there was a classic section / class or even a bike show or something to attract others. I'd even promote it in the Classic club...

I'd like to help out, but I can't come to the meeting because I'm working.

There are plenty of classes - an old Trumpy was there last year.

This meeting will be to discuss more than just the sprints and hillclimb though..........I'm guessing there wil be something for EVERYONE if this event kicks off.

**Uncle B** · 17th August 2006, 15:16

If I can get my 750 converted back to road form in time, I'll be there

Okay - got a bit more info.

The pub is called .......The Top Pub.

The meeting is more about higher level organisational matters at this stage -

* music and loudspeakers (sound systems)
* MC to announce riders names, bikes, times form last year etc (sounds like Linda ??)
* screenprinting (entry forms and certificates)
* sponsorship and prizes
* video and photos
* probably much more which I haven't thought of

They would like to have names and details of persons willing to marshall and timekeep.

But, it looks predominantly about money and ensuring the events are well run, encouraging lots of partcipants and spectators while not running at a loss. (or too much of a loss).

Dave Anderson Motorcycles has been approached, as will several shops in the Hutt and Wgtn.

They are currently devising a checklist of issues to address but if you think you or your company can help out in any way with the above or other things ?...then please feel free to come along.

Sounds good to me man. I'll be up for the meeting. Can't help out at the 1st sprints as I'll be away, and I'll be a competito for the other events. Keen to support in any other way I can though.
