Ooops sorry, I was too slow!

I can organise a mate who has a mobile Cafe, and does realy good coffee, to be at the duck pond on the 17th nov, he could set up the night before, so he doesn't need move while the Bikeoi assembles there.
This is just a suggestion at the moment.

Make sure he takes the wheels with him when he leaves it there.

haven't read all post so this might have come up before but make sure your bike is legal. it wouldn't surprise me if the police do a reg / wof check on all bikes that are parked up on the day.

Great show tonight

We had Cops, Industry reps, WIMA, Peter from Ulysses, HOG's wonderful president and many other good people with valid points to raise

Cheers Kari, thanks for running the meeting so well

And all who attended, thank you all of the very well spoken points raised, and the excellent rational behaviour

We learned a lot tonight, and made many good connections too

Tell him he may be able to sleep late if he camps at the duck pond !!

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.

1. We’re not about “pissing off the public” but educating them and getting them on-side.
2. Be clear about the facts.
3. 31st Oct. 09 is a Wellington Rally (not a protest ride) venue TBA by Peter Macintosh of Ulysses.
4. 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.
   • StoneY will liaise with (a woman whose name I didn't get) around risk assessment measures for the BIKEOI.
5. Visit your local MP in person and discuss your concerns.
6. Make pamphlets/posters/information accessible to everyone.
7. Involve as many riders by spreading the word!
8. ACC protest t-shirts can be purchased from http://www.quasimoto.co.nz/products/...otest-t-shirts
9. A suggestion made to instruct/advise riders about the BIKEOI is newspaper advertising (Ms Piggy following this up with WIMA, Ulysses & Wgtn HOG).
10. Ms Piggy will liaise with potential contacts at Radio NZ National.
11. If you can offer accommodation to any out of towners attending the BIKEOI on 17th Nov: please contact Mom on Kiwibiker.
12. If you can help out in your lunch hour handing out information pamphlets: please contact Bend-it on Kiwibiker.
