SAVE OUR AFR Competition! **Closes 03/03/10**

THE BIG SAVE OUR AFR COMPETITION!

Ticket Tally at bottom of this post




By now most of you will know that AFR09 ended up costing Si quite a bit of money, in fact I believe he even re-mortgaged his house to finance it. Due to unforseen circumstances namely the rain & a few other factors, he didn't break even, in fact he didn't even come close.

Even though he says he's prepared to cop this expense, I don't think he should have to wear it all on his own, especially if it means that the event won't go ahead next year. This would be a major blow to the custom bike scene in Australia & the loss of a great weekend of bike related madness for all of us. Im sure anyone who has attended the AFR will agree.

I think there is enough members on this site to help out with some of this debt.

Here's how we can all help & maybe win something along the way.




The S_VE OUR A__ Competition is a guessing competition and is open to anyone reading this.

You enter by donating $50 to the ASF bank account listed here:

Bank: NAB
Account Name: ASF
BSB: 084-707
Account number: 821533330

and leaving your username (join up now if you haven't already - it's free) and your answer to the missing letters in the sentence above as the details.

Alternatively you can use the donate button at the top of this screen and leave your username and answer in the paypal message box, but please remember Paypal charges an extra $1.50 in fees.

!!! Important, BE SURE TO PUT YOUR USERNAME IN THE DESCRIPTION & ONLY THE MISSING LETTERS FROM THE SENTENCE ABOVE!!!

Otherwise we won't know who has entered.

Each entry is $50

If you want to enter more than once just donate the required amount relative to the number of entries you want. If you want you can also reply to this topic with how many times you entered, a simple number will do.

Ok hopefully this all makes sense so far.

The competition is limited to 400 entries & will be drawn when all entries are sold.

The draw will take place 11am at Extreme Creations on the Saturday immediately after the competition finishes & the results will be posted here asap after that. Anyone is welcome to attend the draw.

Every entry has a chance of winning a prize, so the more you buy the more chance you have of winning something.

This is a big thumbs up from me.
I donated $50 from the front page of the site but couldn't find any "Description" option.

[bluemk1]

si would it be better to donate straight to your account or use the paypal link for easier tracking?
i still have your bank account details, it would save on paypal fees. your call

[EXBEN]

Yes I believe it is preferable to donate direct to the ASF acc, listed in the members area or if your not a full paid up member you can email me or Si for the details.

[BANDITROD]

fucking excellent idea guys and ill take my triple clamps to suit gsxr750 K4 frontend in a bandit frame ben cheers

[RED ZX]

[EXBEN]

Just reply here with what you've donated & I'll get Si to work it out

Razorback, while I'm sure Si appreciates the donation I can't give you an entry for a $25 donation as this wouldn't be fair to everyone that is a paid member & has bought entries.
To be included in the draw you'll need to donate another $25 before the competition closes.

As a note to everyone, if you want to enter the competition please make donations of $50 (or multiples of $50) only.

Good Stuff Ben,

come Pay day Ill get a ticket. sounds good []

[Gix11]

I am gob smacked by this support guys! Ben came to me with this suggestion a week or two ago and since then the prize pool just keeps getting bigger. I'd even enter myself if I could! (I know how good those triple are).

For those of you that didn't know I'll pipe up with what happened.....
Althought logistically the AFR was a great success and everyone who attended will vouch for that, the weather well and truly screwed us over. It's on record as the worst weather in many many years and although the hard core AFR fans still made the effort to get there the majority didn't. I know of at least one group of over 50 people that didn't bother coming because of the weather, and I have had 100's of people tellling me that they would have come but they thought the weather had cancelled it. So why didn't I cancel it? Simple, the insurance company we used did have a 'cancelled event policy' but they would not insure for events that had a budget of less than $100,000 to run, and seeing as how the budget was stretched to the absolute maximum at around $75,000 we were just screwed. I should also just mention that I forgot to add the price of alcohol to the final event cost so the final figure was actually $83,000.

The Saturday attendance was relatively good considering the weather, but the bar didn't get used half as much as we would have liked and the sunday attendance was way down (as the weather turned to shit). The final result? With days and days of calculations and working out what happened the final loss was $41,000, this was what I had to come up with and so of course my mortgage took a pounding.

I'm not complaining about it or giving up as the response about this year's event was far and beyond last year's and the result was spot on. We know where the problems stemmed from and we know how to make this work next year without losing, the only thing we don't have is my forgiving mortgage as that's the last I can draw on it, so without that I cannot commit to next year. So whatever you donate will go towards the rebuilding of the event. With your help and then attracting sponsors we hope we can make AFR10 happen.

I would like to thank everyone for their encouragement and support as it's you guys that make it worth while. And to all those other guys that are still contacting me saying they can add to the prize pool as well - thanks heaps!

kramdrallim, stu and davio from this topic: http://www.streetfighters.com.au/for...TOPIC_ID=14957 I have already put your donations towards tickets guys so you're already in - and thanks again!

[Chris41]

Done.
I waited all year for this AFR and Hanging out for the next one.
The rain would have put a lot of casual riders off. It pissed down all week.

[RED ZX]

I have just done a direct deposit of $250 for 5 tickets, probably more than I can afford, but its not fair that this debt falls on one person.

Good luck with getting back into the black mate, and this competition reminds me why bike riders are some of the best people around.

[El_Hefty]

done a hopefully speltt 'safe owr ARF' right but ive got a couple of tickets coming my way ... paid through paypal... which i noticed youve set up for an automated 1 ticket only ...so i did it via your email address...
