Square Trust Rescue Helicopter fundraising ride

**Mom** · 21st June 2008, 20:33

The Marketing Manager for Westpac is offering a heap of helicopter money boxes to our rides, use them for decoration on your bikes, prizes or whatever. Her thinking is that it is a visual aid to the fundraising. We are saying yes to them. Do you guys want some too?

ok guys final destination will now be to the hospital & the helicopter hangar

we will have the carpark on the south side of the hangar hopefully it will be roped off for us to use .. its nice & roomy

next saturday can all marshals be at PT's by 9.30am Please, so we can have a quick meeting & get all the bikes together before the public start arriving

We will be doing a major regroup of the all the riders to head through the gorge & napier road as one big convoy, & if needed another small regroup by memorial park, however if we stay together as a group this should not be required.

for safety we will have the support vehicle parked to stop traffic heading through the gorge & a few marshals down the road further to slow traffic since visibility will be an issue

and lets all hope the weather is an absolute ripper like today & we will have an awesome turn out

oh yeah Jarrod advised today they will prob be doing hamburgers along with sausage sizzle (yum) there will be a coffee van at both sites (Just so Al can have his latte or 10)

hmm not quite correct a few wee typos .. after the race

should read after the ride and Kiwiriders

hmmmm but I guess the word is out so at least thats a start and its part of a nationwide event raising funds for the helicopters in that region ..

ohh and the cheesecutter campaign .. well sighs .. wonder why they could not just use the press release instead that had all the correct info on it ..
