Mackay, Townsville And Cairns Nbcf Cruise

[phee]

Here are the details:

What~

* A car cruise around Townsville to raise money for the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF)

When~

* Meeting on Saturday June 30th 2007 @ 12.30pm

Where~

* Meeting at the Rhonda’s fitness for women/the Warehouse car park area on Woolcock Street @ 12.30pm the cruise will run around Townsville and run down to the Soroptimist Park in Rowes Bay. There will be a FREE sausage sizzle thanks to the Butchers on Bundock, Brumbys and IGA at the Soroptimist Park and further donations for NBCF will be accepted during this time. Some Raffles and giveaways will happen at the park while we do some socialising. (Maps will be available on the day for out of towners)

* At approx 4.30 a second cruise will run through town and out the to Townsville Drags (Bohle) for the Street Meet that evening for those persons interested in going out for a look

Why~

Why not? We do enough “cruising” for no reason, what not do it for a good reason. The ultimate goal of the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) is to raise enough money to fund a cure for breast cancer. This cruise should raise some serious cash for the NBCF and give us all an opportunity to meet and greet and enjoy the afternoon together.

Donations~

* Each person/car will be expected to make a donation to the NBCF. There will be some crew running around collecting your donations.

* Minimum Suggested Donations are $5/Girls Cars and $10/Guys Cars however more will be very much appreciated.

* Other NBCF merchandise including Official Pink NBCF Wristbands and Ribbon Pins will also be available to purchase.

Other Info~

* There will be some p rizes and free stuff up for grabs after the cruise pulls up at the Soroptimist Park

* There will be separate draws for guys and girls and some for everyone attending!

* This event is supported by QLDStreetScene.com and PinkPedals.com with the help of many people and sponsors using their own time to pull this together.

* All money raised is going to a great cause so we hope you come along and help support the National Breast Cancer Foundation

All is all this cause is for a great cause and not only that it should be pretty enjoyable for those who attend. Hope you can make it.

From the starting point at the cruise there will be a marshalling layout. It will be extremely important you follow the 'Cruise Crew Marshalls' with everything from parking to departure so we dont run into dramas like traffic jams etc.

This cruise has been created to avoid as many traffic lights as possible however it is virtually impossible to miss ALL lights on a cruise in Townsville.

To avoid cars being split up by too much distance cars will be lined up in groupings from the initial meeting point. Each 'grouping' will have a lead car so if you do happen to be held up and fall behind in the cruise your lead car for whatever grouping you are in will be close by so you dont get lost and you will then link back up with the cruise, but with the course of the cruise you will hopefully engage in minimal fall behind. AGAIN- this is why it is important to listen to your cruise crew as they will be keeping you on the right path. There will also be maps provided on the day for those who want them.

All cars in the cruise will be put into a "Lucky Number Plate Draw" to wich they can will some really great prizes that have been donated by some wonderful sponsors!!! There will also be a whole bunch of other Random Prizes for the passengers in the cars too!! Everyone involved will have a chances to win! Prize pool includes things like:

* Getaway packages

* Tool Boxes and Tool Kits

* Car Care Products and Voucher

* Service Voucers

* Sun Glasses

* and Heaps more cool stuff....

Remember the reasons behind the cause when you show up on the day and don't forget to listen out to your "Cruise Crew" so from the word go so the cruise does run smoothly! There are many people taking their own time in organising this event and we want everyone to enjoy themselves while having a SAFE cruise! Its not hard thing to achieve with a little co-operation from you guys! The Free BBQ at soroptimist park has been supplied by the Butchers on Bundock, IGA and Brumby's! We will be accepting further donations at the BBQ and selling drinks also with all proceeds going to the NBCF! The second cruise is OPTIONAL for those who wish to go to the Townsville Dragway and run their cars. Townsville Dragway fees will be as per usual for any street meet.

***REMEMBER THAT THIS IS A CRUISE FOR A GOOD CAUSE. IT IS NOT A RACE!!!***

A massive thanks needs to go to our sponsors who have donated stacks of great prizes for giveaways and "lucky number plate draws" on the day!!!

Nikki Gilbert is our (PinkPedals.com) Townsville rep and she has done everything. The local radio station up there is having a bidding war to see what business can match / out-do Honey Combes donation to NBCF of $1,000.

There are quite a few 'text to the editor' SMS's going into the paper after this article was run:

Naturally you can't please everyone but the majority of feedback has been positive.

This is just a reminder that this cruise is on THIS SATURDAY! If you have any mates who want to come along bring them, you don't need anything special to enter... I'll be taking the work car up

We are expecting well over 100 cars, almost 200 if everything goes to plan, so there will be a lot of people running around trying to organise everyone, so PLEASE listen to group co-ordinators, they know exactly what is going on.

When you arrive there will be parking marshalls to let you know where to go.

**

PinkPedals.com is currently organising a Brisbane NBCF cruise where Brisbane based (ie: SAU) will be invivted to attend, so keep an eye out for it, should be happening end Aug / early Sep.

Cheers guys, hope to see you there.
