The pink bucket raised $330 – HPC MX team matched it and donated $660 to NZBCF of which we are very proud to be able to ‘pay it forward’. Thanks to David Watkin and Anna Schollum for some outstanding photography – these are the school memories we want. Dave Berridge “Fridge” from Huntly MX Club once again came along to do the start gate for us and provide the flags – he always has a joke or three for the kids at the start.
