AusMotoGP Meet-Up!!

Less then a month to go until the Australian MotoGP!!

There are so many wonderful people who I speak to via Twitter and Facebook, and I would really like the opportunity to meet you all. I also think it would be a fantastic opportunity to get out there and meet fellow MotoGP fans!!

I am proposing that we all meet near Doohan Corner in between Free Practice 1 and Free Practice 2, so about 1ish. We can watch the Australian Superbike qualifying together, cheer on our favourites in the support category, and hopefully have a few laughs! This year I’ve been trying to give back a little to a sport which provides me with so much enjoyment. Every year Australian MotoGP supports a charity, and this year they have chosen Redkite. Redkite provide support and assistance to families who have a child living with cancer. I have done some reading, and believe that this is a very worthy charity to support. If you would like to know more visit their website http://redkite.com.au/

In addition to bring something to eat to share with everyone, I think it would be a great idea if we also used this gathering to support Redkite. It would be a great way to ultimately support the Australian MotoGP, and show them that we support the idea of having a chosen charity each year. It would be a wonderful gesture if we could all make a gold coin donation, and I will let them know via Twitter when and where they can find us.

There’s nothing better then seeing children smiling and laughing on a race weekend. They are the people who are going to keep the sport going, and it’s important to include them wherever possible. I think we may also see some very special kids and their families wandering around this year. Picnics are always fun, and I would also like to invite them to also join us if they would like. I’m sure the kids will probably have a million questions, and I also think that we are the best people to answer them!

I’m not sure how this will go, but I hope to see you on Friday. I also hope that the weather is nice enough so we can all sit outside and enjoy each other’s company! Please do not think “I don’t have a Twitter/Facebook and don’t even talk to these people”, I’m sure everyone would love to meet you and have a chat.

And if you have any other questions/comments, I would love to hear from you  :)


Edit - I've decided that 1.10pm would be a good time to meet, after Moto2 free practice (Timetable here - http://motogp.com.au/event/2011-event-schedule)
There's no pressure to say yes or no but Friday, 1.10pm, Doohan Corner, we'll be the ones with a tarp on the ground and lots of food that looks like it doesn't go together  :P
