Comment by Tania Austin on August 17, 2011 at 15:42: Definitely keen to be involved in making this happen in Wellington

Comment by Nick Potter on August 17, 2011 at 12:24: Worldwide Park(ing) Day is coming up next month - on Friday September 16th (or possibly Saturday the 17th in New Zealand). If anyone wants to get another event kickstarted for this day, now's the time!

Comment by Nick Potter on March 4, 2011 at 10:25: An update from Wellington: Sam, Eli and I all reckon that there's just not the energy for organising another event right now - and lots of attention has understandably been on the Christchurch earthquake. Let's see if we're inspired to get something together in Spring. If we want to go with International Park(ing) Day again this year, that's on Friday September 16 - or possibly Saturday September 17 in NZ.

Comment by Ellen on February 18, 2011 at 23:40: I'd love to be part of a Wellington park-in.

March 16th is Walk2Work Day too

Comment by Nick Potter on February 16, 2011 at 10:25: Righto...

Maya - Kelly Roynane is keen for Auckland (and Tania)

Natalie - contact Calum Revfem for all things Tauranga related!

Aimee - I'll be in touch about Wellington. I'm meeting Sam and Eli this week, so if we're all go lets meet and plot over a cuppa.

Also-we can decide dates together. If March 12 doesn't work for people we can try something else...

Comment by Natalie Donze on February 15, 2011 at 16:38: I just found out I'm in Tauranga that weekend, don't suppose anyone is doing something around there?

Comment by maya nova on February 15, 2011 at 16:07: OK, so who are the Aucks? I was part of Parking day last year, let's hook up. Can't take the major organizing role but keen to co-organize

Comment by aimee whitcroft on February 15, 2011 at 12:58: Oooh! I'm keen. And in Wellington :)

Comment by The Queen of Spades on February 15, 2011 at 7:57: By my reckoning that makes 3 high hands for Wellington and 3 for Auckland. How about the Wellycats talk amongst themselves and the Aucks do the same? If we can muster enough enthusiasm amongst ourselves and our networks we'll get this Park(ing) day moving!

Oh - and if you're wondering who the Queen of Spades is... I am just a figment of the Intersect Trust's imagination. I'm just here to help you express your own majesty.
