ACT Charity Cruise, for Victims of Tragedy in SE Asia

[race_snooze]

Now that will cost you. More then the ticket

[MIVEC]

I have the name and home phone number of the Cheif of ACT Traffic Police.

Go straight to the top??

[djhatton]

overkill??? just make sure they know... thats all. they don't have to come and participate or babysit (but no issues if they do)... just let them know.

MIVEC: yeah, may as well go straight to the top, and yes Richard, make those infringement notices vanish too!! I am appearing in court in april to contest 3 of them! Another suggestion is the car parks at russell, central to all and we wont hold anyone up. I agree that it is a good idea to inform the cops.

[cammaS15]

Ok an update. MIVEC, the ACT AFP have been informed and i have recieved a response.

An extract from the response....

"AFP - ACT Policing have no objections to the Charity Drive taking place on the 13th February 2005."

This is on the proviso that all conditions set by ACT Urban Services or

any other ACT Government Body are adhered to, any conditions set by any

Federal Government Agency are to be adhered to.

and further...

"The responsibility for the running of the event rests with the event organisers, not the Australian Federal Police. It is the event organisers' responsibility to ensure that all officials involved in the event, along with those participating, spectating and the general public, are able to perform their business in a safe manner."

With that in mind I would like to advise that everyone who attends should drive in a safe manner. I am now finding out what approval needs to be provided to become an "official event organiser".

[race_snooze]

Thats cool then. This looks good.

[leech_]

sounds good cammas15

[Sinista32]

Thanks to Alah that the 13th is a Saturday and not a Friday. Friday the 13th would not bode well, Not that I am supersticious or anything!

Fingers Crossed X all goes well.

[Jonneh Bravo]

Isn't the 13th of Feb',2005,a Sunday,Richard?!

Oh,I sent Glenn(CammaS15) a large PM with some ideas...

[cammaS15]

Cheers Jayce, PM sent back.

I have spoken to the Venue and Bookings Coordinator @ the Museum as well as the National Capital Authority about the use of the car park. I should get an answer whether approval will be provided early next week.

Another possible site for the start is up at Telstra Tower...

and yep 13th is a Sunday

[Sinista32]

OMG - I've lost a day!

[Aurora]

Black Mountain Tower might not be a good idea.... plenty of chance for someone silly to end up in the bushes

National Museum car park is large, and everyone knows where it is, so that's a good one. Also there are a few car parks in the City which would be deserted on a Sunday, like the one opposite Rydges, behind the Police station.

[Gus-]

what about that big gravel carpark near to hospital and next to that big 4-way intersection in woden. on a sunday that would be dead as.also quite central.

just another idea.....

[sigsputnik]

yer i reckon r31's idea is the goods. that carpark is always empty and has heaps of room.

in my opinion the museum carpark was designed by someone who knew they'd never have to park there: like lots of new car parks (woden kfc, for example), more keen on fitting cars in than making spaces reasonable. did you want to open your doors? no can do.

[leech_]

guss's idea is ok but if anyone be's a tool and does a burnout even accidently half the cars are gonna get stone chips all over them also extra dirt and shit to make my car not pretty

[race_snooze]

Just a thought which may have been sugested already but, we may need some way of telling other ppl they are apart of the cruise

[Aurora]

Yeah, we discussed that on Tuesday night at the Jerra.

Our thinking, and Jayce has probably already mentioned it to Glenn, but if we just buy a few boxes of cheap stickers from Woolworths/Coles, and each car who has donated, pops a sticker on, gets s stamp, whatever.

[race_snooze]

Not everyone was there on tues, (soft) so i thought i would bring it up here.

[cammaS15]

Yep, Jayce brought it up with me and stickers is definately on the cards. Some good suggestions on the meeting place, thanks all. Once I find out the result about the Museum I will post up whether its a goer or we have to change.
