DISCLAIMER: If I have only just joined your forum, please read this cruise thread as it may be something you have intrest in, and I am just trying to let as many people know about it as I can. Mods and Admin, please email me on gcambassador@iinet.net.au or PM me on here if you wish to discuss being more involved with this event. I will be back reguarly to answer any questions members may have. This could be the perfect way to spread word of your forum or club.
Howdy All,
Well it's been sometime since I dusted off my cruise boots and got something happening, and a unique oppurtunity has crossed my path again, so I have decided to put a few things together and have another big event.
This event will have NATIONAL news coverage, Magazine Coverage and Radio Station's in attendance. Along with numerous Corporate Sponsors there on the day with giveaways for all who attend. I will not list them here to effect website sponsors. But you will get some goodies
Some may be aware, some may not, but I am the current Gold Coast Ambassador, and also an Ambassador for Bravehearts, a charity that protects and councils children affected by sexual abuse, and the benificiary of the funds raised by this cruise.
And it will be a MASSIVE event. Last year we had some crappy weather, and still managed over 500 cars, bikes and trucks. This year will be your chance to have your car shown on national tv and magazines, in a GOOD light, and showing that the 'hoon' community can do some good. (Yes I dislike that word as well.) We made National news last year.

We are getting huge support from alot of clubs and organisations such as BUACA (Bikers United Against Child Abuse), and Mack Trucks supplying a large contigent of trucks to join the convoy. The day is open to ALL makes and models of vehicles, trucks and bikes. All clubs and websites, small and large.
This cruise isnt about a long drive, in fact the drive itself will take approx 30mins, however, it is the cause that is important. Child abuse is something that must be brought into the light as often as possible, as many times this kids cant protect themselves, and have their lives shattered by those they thought they could trust. This event is all about raising awareness and speaking out against Child Abuse.
All I ask, is that everyone able to attend, come along to this event, the meeting place WILL be a bit chaotic, and it will be a mission to get everyone out and moving effectivly, so the Police have been engaged to provide assistance in keeping lights open, and intersections free, as well as providing an escort for the trip itself. They have ASSURED me, they will NOT be setting up defect stations or the like, (for those who wish to be negative and try and stir that up). (They gave the same assurances last year and were a huge help with the day, AND they stuck to their word's).
Donations can be made on the day at the 'Registrations' table. (Where you will recieve information on the event path itself and can ask any questions to staff of Bravehearts.).
If any wish to know, I have been running events such as this for a long, long time and I appreciate that whilst I may not be an active member in the cruising scene as much any more, I certainly know how to plan events such as this.

So without further adu I will give you some details.

DATE: Sunday September 9th

TIME: 10.15am for a 11.30am Departure.

LOCATION TO MEET: Yatala Drive In Complex located just off the Pacific Motorway (M1) at 100 Jacobs Well Road (Yatala North Exit 38 and follow the Signs).

WHILE YOU WAIT: There will be a Canteen Bar open, a raffle with some awesome prizes and a huge amount of vehicles to look at. Not to mention numerous Corporate Sponsors (Radio Stations, Drink Companies, Food Companies etc) having numerous giveaways to you all. Many Media outlets taking Pictures at the time.

DESTINATION: Parklands Sports Complex. Smith St. Parkwood. Gold Coast. (Exit 66 S/B on the M1).

ARRIVE: Est 12pm.

AFTER YOU ARRIVE: More gawking at some awesome cars and then well........you are on the Gold Coast, perfect excuse to goto the beach . In essence that will be the end of the event at Parklands. More Media outlets taking pictures at this destination.

Thats it. It doesnt get much simpler than this, and for such a great cause to support. The reason for this is to get the message of Bravehearts out there in the open more, and for a COMMUNITY to band together and support something. This is a chance to really make an impact and perhaps, just perhaps change public perception a little bit.
All funds raised from Donations and Raffles is for the benifit of Bravehearts.
If you are a member of a Car club, such as the Monaro Club, I REALLY want to try and get some of these car clubs on board, this will be great exposure for you. Please contact your Club Presisdent and see what he/she has to say on the matter, if they wish to contact me I can be reached via PM here, or on 0413 994 137, Phonecall being the best way to reach me atm, as things are a little chaotic!
So yeah, thats about it. Lets make this massive. Get ya car on National News, and have it shown in a GOOD light, all the while supporting a cause that really needs all your help.
This is even one event were some younger drivers might even invite their parents. This is all about a GOOD cruise. What we all love and enjoy.
Of course it goes without saying that stupid behaviour will not be tolerated on this cruise. I really don't think anyone would be THAT dumb to ruin something that could be so good.

check it out guys.. should be a great day
