Well done, as you say all legal and above board.

Well done, as you say all legal and above board.

Thank you. We have gained some very impressive sponsorship too, standby for our announcement about member benefits. Did you see that Andrew Stroud is attending our official launch as well?

MAG-NZ is certainly taking off. Hope you can join us on Oct 3rd.

Thats right, MAG has active groups in both Auckland (which is the national HQ) and Christchurch. There will be other regional groups as we go forward, but we're launching with these regions.

The Canterbury launch has not been affected by the quake - although MAG-NZ has every sympathy for everyone in the Christchurch region affected by this tragedy.

There are some great events planned - so get yourself down to the assembly points on 3rd October. If you need any further info, feel free to post here, PM any KB'er with a MAG logo or flick us an email on info@mag-nz.org - you can also contact us via Facebook or Twitter (twitter.com/MAG-NZ)

That's fantastic. We can apply for funding from local government and the pokie trusts - is someone onto that?

[Mom]

... is someone onto that?

You never know what we might be onto

I do know that we have a fantastic bunch down in the mainland that will keep us honest

We will probably swing through Orewa on our way to Hooten Park. You are welcome to ride down with us. Will let you know a time closer to the 3rd.

So is that a "yes", a "no", a "we haven't thought about it yet" or a "don't be nosy we do things behind closed doors"?

on a side note - a facebook search for mag-nz returns nada - got a link?

Honestly? Have not even thought about it yet. But what a really good idea.
We dont do behind closed doors, at all. Totally transparent us. I am reading between the lines a little bit here, but is CNI anywhere near Taupo? If it is please come and join us for our NZ Spinal Trust fundraiser weekend 5/6 November. We are having a committee meeting on the 5th (evening) so you can "see" how we operate. The weekend is dedicated to raising money for NZ Spinal Trust (our chosen charity) and fun and frivolity. Brain picking of executive is encouraged.

Hang fire while I find you a link to follow.

We are all staying here though http://www.taupoallseasons.co.nz/

mention MAG-NZ, we are trying hard to get a discount for people staying, failing that a donation to our charity

Yup, Tokoroa, would love to join in, but am working all weekend, which while some may berate me for considering a higher priority, I'd be only too happy to join a mid-week ride.

I have looked at the itinerary, and can most likely join up on the Friday arvo.

What time do you plan arriving Taupo, and are you planning on just SH1-ing it?

When wanting followers, it doesn't pay to be coy.

Cool bananas! We are leaving BP Papakura at 11amish, and will be heading directly down the boring route. I have my son riding with me and it will be his first big ride, so I am sticking to that route. We wont be rushing. Be fantastic if you could join us from Tok to taupo, not that far to head home either if you decide to stay the night Friday night Flick me a PM with your contact details, take the day off November 5th, and we will pick you up enroute to Taupo.

[Smifffy]

Don't need the day off for Fri, will have the arvo/evening free.

Will flick the itinerary to a guy who organises rides locally, maybe get a few more along.

A lot of the guys at work that ride are on the same roster as me, but there'll still be a few available I'm sure.
