Short charity/protest ride, Saturday 1 September

**Macktheknife** · 29th August 2007, 12:50

Hey everyone,
I have been asked by the Problem Gambling Foundation to let as many Bikers know as possible about this function on Saturday, National Gamble Free Day.
Meeting point is the carpark behind Aotea Centre on Greys Ave in the City at 10am, the objective is to ride around the Sky City Casino and generally make a noise and draw attention to the cause of the P.G.F. They will have a show/thing to get the message across, but would really like a heap of bikes to show their support, and make some noise!

They do a lot of work with families of problem gamblers, raising awareness and providing assistance, support and counselling where needed. They also will be demolishing a Pokie machine for fun and ending the morning with a bit of a nosh up.

They would like to get about 100 or more bikes to show up and make a noise, get some TV coverage and generally make a point to help them in raising funds and awareness in the community.

Show your KB spirit and support a good cause, show up this Saturday at 10am, Greys Ave in the City.

Problem gamblers? hmm... interesting idea.

Can I also suggest that we have protests outside pubs for alcoholics and protest brothels for nymphamanics.
