its the ASB bank. You must put the full name on it so it gets allocated to the correct fund.

hope this helps

This appears to have become a BRONZ gig now, all well and good, the cause is the same, but there is a clash of receipient organisations that needs to be clarified. Any money into the bank account listed in the first post is going to the Sallies.

Good luck guys, hope you raise HEAPS of money!

Excellent point MOM.

I realise the Sallies have an appeal fund as well, but so does the SPCA,Westpac bank and umpteen other organisations...BRONZ will give all money we raise to the NZ Red Cross. Everyone else can get dollars to whichever distributor they desire.

It's all going to help the same people who need whatever we can get to them. As a poster has pointed out, these are real people with families, pets, mortgages and jobs. We are all part of the extended community and we bloody well give a toss, otherwise you'd have told me to shut up and piss off.

So this IS a BRONZ ride now! OK, just clarifying where any money will go if it gets deposited into the bank account in the first post is all. Dont want any LEGAL SHIT happening to us for not putting the money where BRONZ said it was going. Make that really clear in further posts if you dont mind, we dont want to receive any fall out either.

awesome stuff, Id much rather dive in and do something hands on but there is nothing I can offer in the way of practical work. The complex allowed us use of all 3 bars and the courtyard for the entire day right up to closing time so we can get maximum number of people along during the course of the day. Perhaps you could join us after work for a short time? Welly is such a small community there is bound to be someone there you know.

That's awesome

I have a few not currently riding friends that might be keen to pop along to that.
