Yes, Ill ride down till Tauranga and then head off my way... thought I might donate to a worthy cause

[Mully]

Well, it looks like I managed to register for this some time ago (just checked and I'm on the damn list) but this depends on whether I can get the time away form work.

If so, will be good to me some familiar, umm, profiles....

LOL, you tell him girl!

To be fair, all I really need is numbers of adults and kids that are planing to be there. Mind you, it will cost a $10 donation to get on the base and to get in the draw for free stuff!

Hi guys, I am going to send the OSH from to the helicopter base this afternoon, if anyone else is planning to be there, please can you register. They are putting on a BBQ for us, and need numbers attending for catering purposes as well as OSH ones.

Please read the following information about our visit to the base.


Visit to the Westpac Rescue Helicopter

Further to your phone call we confirm you are booked to visit the Westpac Rescue Helicopter, 3 Solent Street, Mechanics Bay on Saturday June 28th at 5pm.

Before you arrive please take the time to read the following safety information:

• When you arrive at the Westpac Rescue Helicopter base, the group leader is to sign the Visitors Book
on behalf of the Group, giving name and number of visitors (ideally no more than 30).
• The Crew will give you a safety briefing. Please listen carefully.
• All children under the age of five (5) years must be accompanied by an adult constantly.
• No running, jumping or moving outside designated area.
• Shoes must be worn at all times.
• Watch where you move about. The helicopter has unfamiliar parts which may stick out – watch your head, where you step and where you back up.
• It can be noisy. There are ear plugs in the hangar if required.
• If you hear the Bell ringing in the hangar, the Rescue Helicopter has been called on an emergency. Please follow instructions of the Crew. They will direct you to a safe area to watch them depart.

Enjoy your visit to Auckland’s Westpac Rescue Helicopter!

I hope they don't decide to fly around just because of us. Coz that will cost more than the donations we make to them.

They wont be deciding to fly around at all mate. I agree with you, raising money and then seeing the bird fly over you for fun and at a cost of heaven only knows how much money is absurd!

The helicopter will be on the ground for us, unless it is called out on a 111 emergency. You will be able to meet the guys that actually man this helicopter when you meet us at the base.

I've never been to the base. So when I arrive *early i'll add to be safe* what do I do, will there be a marked bike parking where everyone will be? Is there a map of how to find th entrance as I've only seen the helicopters riding past, I don't quite know where the entrance to the base is.

LOL it actually got worse once we left Hamilton for Auckland. Thank you for your support too! We raised $1300 odd for our ride, the country raised over $10K in total, not a bad effort at all!
