We were delighted to be asked to supply volunteer helpers for the weekend ‘Ride for Life Motorcycle Show’ which is an annual MEGA-event put on by Papakura Rotary Club each year and held at the ASB Showgrounds in Greenlane.
 
We had a healthy roster of 10+ volunteers from St John’s for each day where our duties included assisting inside at the Rotary info stand or patrolling exit doors; and outside, directing motorbike parking. 
 
The show is the largest motorcycle event in Auckland and generally attracts a crowd of some 3000 each day and nets the Papakura Club approx. $140K!!!
 
The wet weather impacted on crowd numbers – but it was still a very busy event. Bikes on show inside were amazing and equally awesome were the bikes and their riders parking everywhere outside. Assisting with this show will net our Club a very handy $5K – so heartfelt thanks to members who made themselves available to do this:  Ingram's x 4; Peter W, Ruth, Gary, Peter B, Tricia, Eddie, Brian, Kevin, Murray, David, Lesley and Ainie.
