NELSON, USA CLUB

Lone Star Dinner: Join your fellow Americans in Nelson at the Lone Star restaurant at 90 Hardy Street Nelson on Monday July 4th for a REDNECK RIBS special!   This is a great opportunity to mix & mingle with other USA Club families and a chance for our kids to say the Pledge of Allegiance and sing the Star Spangled Banner to celebrate Independence Day.

Lone Star’s full menu will be available as well as complimentary Lone Star loaves of bread for our group and the Redneck Ribs special.  We will be meeting from 5.00pm in the bar area where Lone Star are putting on complimentary buffalo wings for us and we then plan to sit for dinner around 6pm.  Please fill in this form if you intend to come along – you’re also quite welcome to turn up at the last minute!

Message from Paul, organiser of Richmond Festival:

Rugby World Cup Roadshow

The official Rugby World Cup 2011 Nationwide Roadshow is touring NZ throughout July, and will be visiting Nelson on Monday 11 July from 6am – 9.30am. This is an opportunity for the people of our region to get a glimpse of what RWC 2011 is going to be like, and find out about the associated RWC events happening in the Nelson Tasman region. The Roadshow consists of an oversized RWC custom designed truck with the capacity to open out into a 72m sq exhibition style space designed and fitted out with exciting features and interactive facilities. In addition to the exhibition in the truck, there will be a marquee where we can promote and display what we have planned for the Richmond Festival.

TVNZ Breakfast

TVNZ will be following the tour around NZ and broadcasting live from 20 locations and covering the highlights of each location on Breakfast with Tamati Coffey. While there is no guarantee that the Richmond Festival event will be featured on Breakfast, the more visual, exciting and compelling our display is, the greater the likelihood it will be showcased. But, regardless of the TV coverage, the Roadshow will attract a large local audience, so it is an ideal opportunity to engage with the local market to make them aware of and excited about our event.

Proposal

We propose to throw a mini tailgate party as part of our exhibition display, and was wondering if members from the Nelson USA Club would like to be involved in this party? They would be encouraged to dress up in their colours, and show the public what a tailgate party is all about. We will provide a bbq breakfast, and a classic dodge ute (with tailgate) plus the associated Richmond Festival promotional information/signage etc. Please can you let me know if this is something your interested in being involved in, and if so likely numbers for catering purposes.

• What: RWC Roadshow Tailgate Party Exhibition
• When: Monday 11th July, 6.00-9.30am
• Where: Trafalgar Street Nelson (by Church Steps)
