Thank you for all your comments and feedback for the Nationwide Baton Run. Before we can put out the event notice on social media we need to know the following<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FIRST OF ALL:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4th Nov 2023 – All branches do a fundraising event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This can be what you want to do- a ride, a gala day, quiz night etc. The badges and pins should be on sale on the day as well. However, you don’t have to wait for your event to pre-sell the badges and pins. You can start now, buying & selling these 2 items<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Branches buy x 100 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Metal pins sell @ $10.00<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Buy in $4.00 + $2.00 = $6.00 This is your rebate<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Difference is $4.00 = This is the money you donate for the fundraiser<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stitched badge sell @ $14.00<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Buy in $7.50 + $1.50 – $9.00 This is your rebate<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Difference is $5.00 = This is the money you donate for the fundraiser<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deposit money into the nominated bank account (TBC) – details will be sent to the branch secretary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please write your branch name and what it is for as reference, coz that’s important so our treasurer doesn’t go bald…er<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each branch needs a stick like a ruler and you write on it, with a vivid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your Branch name and $ raised (just round it, not exact amount collected)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You put your stick into the baton, when it’s passed to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We also need photos of the amount and the passing of the baton up on a fb page so that ‘followers’ can keep guessing how much they think we will raise. (this gets the communities involved $1.00 a guess)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FACEBOOK PAGE – Tiny is sorting this out and information\/link will be sent to you once that is done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Okay, now this is the thing we need to know ASAP so that we can start the event. Many other riders from other groups and areas across NZ would also like to jump in on the ride and support. Hence the reason to know where you are riding and passing the baton, date and time. Also, in the evening, which town where the baton will stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5th Nov Baton Riders and bikers will leave Invercargill to Dunedin<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Departing From:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stands Up:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arrive in Dunedin: ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Place:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stands Up:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arrive in Oamaru: ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Place:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stands Up:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You get the idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The baton needs to be crossing on the 9th of November. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is this enough time to get through the South Island?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Marlborough – Kelvin will need to connect with Wellington – Jim to receive the baton. Could you please confirm the dates that will work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The baton needs to be in Rotorua on the 18th November where we will receive the baton, with all the branches sticks! inside it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If we could all work together, that would be great. It is important to get the dates, stands up times back to me asap so that we can get the FB page up live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bearing in mind that there will be other bikers joining in so the ‘swarm’ may take a little longer to get to each destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, each area if stopping at a pub along the way, need to alert the proprietors <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The places where you stop may also like to sell the badges and pins or offer something. Food for thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I reckon we can make this event huge and it will be lots of fun, coz that’s what riding with mates is all about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I wait in anticipation for your return responses \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
