Ok team, the group I was organising to come up from Wellington is looking pretty sparse at the moment

Most have other commitments. If anyone from Wellington wants to tag a long, PM me and I will send you a schedule for the day.

Ummm. Just making sure you're aware but I'm sure you are. For the Palmy ride, The Palmy rescue helicopter is Square Trust Rescue helicopter. From their website:

The Philips Search and Rescue Trust has operated the rescue helicopter in the Palmerston North region since October 1991. The current principal sponsor is The Square Trust, a Palmerston North-based gaming machine charitable trust, hence the name The Square Trust Rescue Helicopter.

Westpac are one of many sponsors, but this is not a 'westpac rescue helicopter'.

My point is, I think it would be ok to use 'Westpac' buckets, but not 'Westpac Rescue Helicopter' buckets.

Thoughts?

Ok that is fine, no free money boxes for you guys to give away down there.
Thoughts?

Thank you for pointing that out. Yes I am aware that it is the Phillips etc rescue helicopter down in your area. Where did you get buckets from? This lady is offering helicopter money boxes, sure they say Westpac, but Westpac support all rescue helicopters in the country, they only have sponsor naming rights to 4. The thought (hers I might add) are that they might raise the HELICOPTER part of what we are doing.

Haha, like I've said earlier in this thread, great work by everyone involved. Merely raising potential gotchas as I see them. My point here being that Jarrod and the boys at Square Trust might be a little put out if people start thinking they are a Westpac named rescue chopper, or people not donating thinking the buckets are for Westpac named rescue choppers i.e. not their local Square Trust one.

Just a thought.

ahh now I can answer this one ..

your correct tumbles and here is the link regarding the Rescue choppers that are run by the charitable trust.

However this weekend the banners & donation buckets will have westpac rescue helicopters. Both Jarrod & Andrew are aware of this, as the fundraising liasion for both Westpac & the charitable trusts are the same person & westpac do assist in funding the charitable trusts and also your correct in the naming rights to 4 mom .. So its no problem. I have been aware that this will be the case from the onset & as no one else has any issues with it, it should not be a problem. The money raised in palmerston will go directly to the Square Trust Rescue Helicopter.
