Having fun while doing Service above Self.
The following is a description of the B2B (Bangers to Bluff) that Roger Kennedy, Grant McCaskie, Mike Borren (former member) and Roger Kennedy are participating in in March 2023.
On 21st March 2023, we are embarking on a 12-day car Rally (a Fun Fundraiser) through New Zealand, travelling on “roads less travelled” known as “Bangers to Bluff and organised by The Rotary Club of Half Moon Bay in Auckland, raising money for Multiple Sclerosis and Hopeworks Foundation (a charity assisting people and families coping with brain trauma injuries). Other Charities sanctioned by The Rotary Club of Half Moon Bay Charitable Trust (RCHMBCT) will also benefit.
The “Bangers” are cars costing less than $2000
The “Bangers” are cars costing less than $2000 to be auctioned off in Invercargill at the end of the Rally on 2nd April 2023, with the proceeds being donated to “RCHMBCT”. The Rally has raised more than $300,000 over the past six years. They also assist in fundraising events for the Charities along the route. Apart from a Charitable focus, the idea is for participants to have fun through a mix of challenges and competitions along the road with several Trophies for unusual aspects of the Bangers & challenges.
The Magic of Christmas Night Market and Mid Winter Markets are held at the Awapuni racecourse annually.
Last year's ride raised over $196,100. Last year, in 2016, a record high of 101 Riders joined us for a glorious day and a mountain of fun in Pongo, London. Every year is another step closer to our goal. We are developing new technologies, and new clinical procedures.
