    Hi

    I did the Mainland Driving School riding course late last year here in Christchurch, it was organised by Hog. I have also done an advanced riding course in Wellington but it was years ago. Why do you want to know?

    Ok guys & girls..

    Tis finally finalised!

    The 24 & 25th May is confirmed!!

    The course will run on Sat & Sun from 9-4ish & will cost $200.00 for the whole weekend!!!

    Will be held at Hillmorton High School, Upland Road. (off Hoon Hay Rd)

    To confirm your place you will need to be booked & paid for in full, by the Sunday before (18th) Numbers will need to be limited due to space.. so will be first in (paid) first served!!!

    All participants will need to have a motorcycle license!!

    I will send out a pm in the next couple of days, to everyone who's names I have on my list, with banking details, venue, etc etc. In the meantime, have a think about the 3 main things you want to develop over the weekend!!

    Thanks for doing the work for this J

    I'm working that weekend & so unless I can find a replacement I probably will have to pass on what will be a good weekend.

    Phwoar, wee bit short notice, but I'm sure I can rustle up $200 for something this important... pretty sure I get paid between now and then, but money is tight since I've just bought a house! Anyway, when you send out the PM, please include all relevant details such as the timetable, names of trainers and what their experience is, and a bit of a briefing about what will be coached (generally) on each day. It's quite close to my new house actually, which will be handy. Should hopefully see you there

    Did you just buy your first house, after five years of a booming market, and with interest rates as high as they are, hmm? Yes, notice was given, but confirmation only just coming now, with 12 days before the money cutoff, when I've just gone and done the above, is tough. But rather than just saying I can't afford it, I will find the money somewhere.

    Now no body forced you to go buying houses now did they, no, you didn't have to do that, I will not accept that as an excuse, and you could always quick sell the house to get the money. It's all about priorietys they say.
    Now look what you've done, were are going to get in to trouble now, you'll see, need to find a way to get back on topic quick before anyone notices!
    Good luck with the fundraising, hope to see ya there.
    Cheers

    Hehe I know you were taking the piss. All good! Just that money is a bit tough at the moment, as I'm sure you can appreciate!
