Raise funds for Shaun? Movie night?

[janno]

How about put together what you think is a good night's viewing, buy copies of everything (had to put that in as it's a public forum and I can't say 'copy everything'), send them out and have Shaun Harris fundraising nights around the country?

Each area that's interested could have a KBer to organise it and that way supporters around the country could join in.

Plus if you had tons of great stuff to watch, you could hold it once a month for a while, different motorcycle movies each time. (So I'd get to see some when I come over mid August!!)

If someone had a large house with an area big enough to hold 30-40 people and put up a screen, would that get around copyright and public viewing laws? I'm thinking of a house in NP that would be ideal, so it's not that uncommon.

Waddya think? This way you could raise quite a bit of money perhaps?

Good idea but I already own all these original copies and there is way too much for 2 nights viewing. Some I won't copy because i personally know the makers and others won't be terribly interesting for most younger folks..

Im in,let me know if I can do anything to help!!

Great idea Paul and good on u 4 coming up with the idea. It wouldnt really matter what day or time u did it as u cant suit everyone so just go ahead and pick a day and time and those who can make it will turn up. I will definately be there.

[et al]

Great idea - I would be keen to come along. You mentioned you have enough material for two nights so maybe if you can be up to organising a session on two consecutive Saturdays/whatever then more people are likely to be able to make at least one (sorry, just potentially doubled your workload).

(sorry, just potentially doubled your workload).

Not worried about that but doubling the costs might be a pain.. ;-)

What a marvellous idea! Also the bit about different groups around the country doing it is brilliant.

I've been involved in a few fund-raising movie nights for different causes, and I'm aware that there are copyright clauses about public showings etc etc. I don't think anyone should be too bothered about it in a case like this where probably everyone who made those movies would be delighted to have them shown for a good cause. But one thing to consider is making sure that

a) This is not a 'public' showing. The movies will be shown to a bunch of friends (maybe a BIG bunch of friends)

b) There is no charge to see the movies. There is, however, a donation of approximately $5 expected to cover costs

Hope it goes well.

Hi Folks

DEFINATELY enough support for this..

Looks like the Tawa Squash Clubs the venue (thanks madmal64) and there will be a BAR!

Would people prefer a friday, sat, or sunday night?

Might be this weekend? Does this clash with any racing?

No racing at Manfield this wknd. This weekend might be the go, coz there's a BIG wedding on the 7th that a lot of bikers will be going too.

I'm away the next two weekends on holiday so can't make this week or next, but its a bloody good idea and I would love to make another one sometime. Back when I had hair we used to go to regular film nights (yep 16mm type) at the Deerstalkers Hall in Napier courtesy of the Napier Motor Racing Club and that was fantastic watching Hailwood dice with Agostini.
