This FRIDAY - 1 Chance Only - SI ADV Riders

[RedKLR650]

Hi all,

I've just discovered that the movie 'African Odyssey' is to screen in Geraldine this Firday evening

It's the story of the 4 guys 4 bikes and one continent as they ride from South Africa to London on 4 different Adventure bikes finishing in London on 20th of Jan 2007

THIS WILL BE THE FIRST TIME THIS MOVIE HAS SHOWN OUTSIDE WHAKATANE ( Where the riders are from )

There will also be a talk by one of the riders, Nick Twaddle

TRIP WAS INSPIRED BY HIS COUSIN AND his mate, both from Geraldine, doing this trip in the late 80's

At this stage, not likely to be shown anywhere else :-(

2hrs ( Edited down from the original 67 hrs - Take note Transalper ) of HD footage edited into a feature length Doco

Friday June 20th, 7.30pm at the Geraldine Primary School Hall.

Door tickets will be available but they have 150 going so far, with space for maybe another 50 $12 each inc supper

I spoke to the lady today and she suggested you Fellas contact me ( stu@photographs.co.nz ) and we try to get a handle on numbers interested

Off out the door until about 8.30/9pm then I'll be back in front of the 'puta

Cheers, Stu

Are these the fullers from Uni of Canty - mech engineers I think? Saw an article about them in a UOC newsletter. There is a web site for them somewhere as well - cant remember the addy though. Ah yes here it is.
