hi guys copied this info fr wellington meeting fr wed nite .. would recommend ppl go & read info after the below post as well ....

I've got all the email addresses (still checking on a couple that bounced back) and have created a gmail account with the email address wgtnridersaccprotest@gmail.com and I'm happy to utilise this as a way to communicate with people at the meeting who aren't Kiwibiker members and/or distribute info (several people mentioned feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the posts on Kiwibiker and not being able to easily find resources as a result - not a criticism just a fact).

These are my notes - feel free to copy & distribute them to those who couldn't attend, I'm aware I may have missed some stuff. CherryB also took notes and will be sharing these.

We’re not about “pissing off the public” but educating them and getting them on-side.
Be clear about the facts.
31st Oct. 09 is a Wellington Rally (not a protest ride) venue TBA by Peter Macintosh of Ulysses.
17th Nov. 09 is the BIKEOI date:
We want a co-ordinated, safe and law abiding BIKEOI.
The WCC will assist with parking
The Police would like to be informed of an approximate number of riders that will attend (StoneY will liaise with the Police)
Ensure everyone knows the rules for the BIKEOI, i.e. no wheel stands, no running lights etc.
e. StoneY will liaise with (a woman whose name I didn't get) around risk assessment measures for the BIKEOI.
Visit your local MP in person and discuss your concerns.
Make pamphlets/posters/information accessible to everyone.
Involve as many riders by spreading the word!
ACC protest t-shirts can be purchased from http://www.quasimoto.co.nz/products/...otest-t-shirts
A suggestion made to instruct/advise riders about the BIKEOI is newspaper advertising
Ms Piggy will liaise with potential contacts at Radio NZ National.
If you can offer accommodation to any out of towners attending the BIKEOI on 17th Nov: please contact Mom on Kiwibiker.
If you can help out in your lunch hour handing out information pamphlets: please contact Bend-it on Kiwibiker.

Hey Chanceyy, top effort by all those who are coordinating all the various protests.
I won't be able to make the protest ride on the 17th of Nov and will consider the rally on the 31st of Oct although i'm not 100% sure what that's about if it's not to protest, however I wish all those who can get time to go on the protest ride the best of luck and I hope it goes well etc..

thanks Sarge

just had quick call with Dave, will get a few details sorted but we will be attending both dates, Leaving Levin 10 am sharp just needing to confirm but will be probably be from fatboyz bar (behind Cobb & Co) (just past 2nd set of lights on the main drag)

being that the welly rally is for next sat be good for those who can not make the 17th to come out in force ..

most of us know ppl who ride bikes but are not on kb, as soon as we have details confirmed be great if everyone can spread the word.

Dave & I will catch up for coffee & once details are confirmed with Welly organisers we will hit high gear to get info out & about
