Update for 19/11/2009
19 November 2009The Riding for Rakiura bike ride was a huge success. All of our brave riders made it to Rotorua completing the ride and making it to Rotorua in time for the YHA Annual General Meeting. They were greeted by the YHA Rotorua Branch who put on a fabulous high afternoon tea as a fundraiser and welcome for all the arriving members. In terms of our fundraising goals we have done extremely well surpassing our original targets to break through to the final figure of $56,713-35.We are expecting a few more donations to come in over the next couple of weeks which could easily take our final figure to $60,000-00!!
