Tonight's meeting is at the Greytown Hotel, not The Top Pub.
Greytown Hotel is the last pub on the right as you leave Greytown, after the Green Man Pub.

Tell em we want topless pit bunnies.

A wet t-shirt competition has been suggested....

Dunno if that would include a wet jock competition though........sorry Dover

[Slingshot]

Don't know if this is too late to be suggested but I reakon they should try and get the media there. Perhaps that boy racer show (Import X I think).

It would be great to raise the profile of motorcycling.

[MikeyG]

Might be replying a little late but I'll do marshalling etc if I am free on the day of the show. Any ideas when it will be?

[skelstar]

Wouldnt mind hearing about the meeting last night if you get the chance.

Righto - the meeting was very positive, and the organisers appeared very surprised and pleased at the turnout.

Welly and Wairarapa hardcore represented alright.

Poos, Rossi Gal, Pex Adams, Unlce B, Darkman, Mikey, BusaJim and partner, myself and Mrs Deano attended - usually they get about 7 people in total, so they were very impressed.

Thanks guys and gals for your time and effort in making it there.

Sorry Mikey, alas there was no free beer, but almost a free meal when I forgot to pay....

Issues discussed were MNZ criteria - such as the need for every entrant to have a 'day licence' to participate (unless you already have an MNZ licence). Unfortunately this will escalate the entry fee but it is still likely to be under $50.

Protective riding gear will be clarified with the MNZ rules, but hopefully will not be too onerous. (same as previous years by the looks)

Sponsorship by way of prizes is anticipated, and various suppliers of motorcycle equipment and others are being approached - offers are welcome. Many thanks to those who have already agreed - you know who you are

A flyer has been drafted and should be out by the end of the week. This will be found at local bike shops. A new revised (and sexy...so I'm told ) website may be in the making, with entry form and disclaimer attached.

Anyway - I don't want to steal all the organisers' thunder, so I'll leave it at that for now.

The organisers' should be logging on in here any day now and will post a full report on what is happening.

This should be bloody good !!

[skelstar]

Good on ya guys for going along.

So...any news re: brollie dollies?

just wondering

[Slingshot]

This should be bloody good !!

Fantastic, thanks Deano (and others that went along).

I'm keen as mustard...the only problem is with all this extra promotion, we won't get as many runs in.

Oh well, if there are brollie dollies it will well make up for it...and Skel...leave your bikini at home mate!
