Thanks

FINALLY!!!
Craig Foss has agreed to meet a 'delegation' of all comers. Will be the afternoon of 14/11.
Venue TBA ... Can anyone suggest somewhere in Hastings or Havelock that would handle what may be a large number?
I'm also open to suggestions (quickly please) for a kick off place.

Maybe start Napier aquarium through Napier, Kennedy Rd, Taradale ??, Motorway, left into Omahu Rd & through Hastings to Havelock North. ( Possabley Guthrie Park, Andreson Park or one of the high school??)

Executive decision has been made.
The flyer is attached...print and distribute at your will!

**MSTRS:Me** · 29th October 2009, 15:32

I have been asked to distribute this, by the local Ulysses chapter. Anyone is welcome to join them.

The Saturday October 31 ACC Action Day is on.

Anderson Park Napier, Auckland Road car park at 11.40am ...

This will be an opportunity to protest in Napier, be a visible presence. The idea is not to ride ... but to gather as a group, make our presence felt. There will be an opportunity to talk about future protests, BRONZ action etc etc ...

The printer is working as I type. I will drop them into the places I went to before. Do you want me to print some smaller one & put them on bike around town when I see them or not? I will be thinking of you on the 31st I will be in Taupo for the post classic races then back up on Sunday for the Bike Rider Summer Series.

**MSTRS:Me** · 29th October 2009, 16:08

We'll be in Taupo too. May be at a funeral on Sat arvo, but otherwise at racing both days.

No but it will give the organizers some idea of how many might go. Might help to plan, but very few will register IMHO.

I have printed it and in my opinion it is not clear enough to read. It is very wordy and might not get peoples attention at a glance. But it has the info.

Sorry to see the meeting place is in P/North ( on the 17th ) and the ride from here is in the little print at the bottom of the page. Never mind it is out there now so lets go forward.

What time is the meeting with Foss? Are you going to have a ride on the 14th or just meet in the park?

Meeeting in the park at 1pm to ride over to Hastings and meet with Craig Foss at 2.

Pettigrew Green Meeting time is on the poster, Steve under the National ride info. Poster has the same logo/branding as the other areas. Sorry you don't like it.

I spent a long time designing it, bearing in mind that (mostly) it isn't a HB thing...
The whole point is to present a united national response, one that is (or will become) recogniseable via the logo. Some background details were necessary. As far as P/N goes, that is one of the 2 main staging points for those coming south. Not everyone is keen to get out of bed at 5am, not everyone is on KB, and not everyone lives in Napier. So letting those people know to meet at P/N was more important than the Taradale kick off point. It is a way of giving those people a choice.
The other thing was that the ONE poster covers both days. If you saw a poster about one event, then later another one appeared for the other event, you are likely to not read it since "I've already seen that"...
Plus I needed to address the scooterists too. They need the opportunity to be counted, but a 300km x2 ride is not for them.
There was a lot to fit in on an A4 sheet.
