race between our two races.

BOAT RIDES FOR SPONSORS

A few of the sponsor’s have expressed the desire to have a ride in a boat, at this stage we are going
to do this between 2-4pm on Friday 23rd March.
Shannon and the Race for Life team has offered to help with this, but would dearly love others to
give us a hand if possible, as this is the highlight for the sponsors.
We have 12 interested in rides at the moment, but this could change closer to the race.

BP to GO KAITI have offered to supply fuel vouchers to offset some of the costs involved with taking
sponsors out.
