 September 2011
This month we have an update about fuel cards, and throw down the gaunlet to Sydney organisations. We also announce the addition of more fancy Alfas and sturdy vans, a partnership with a fantastic theatre in Darlinghurst, and ask if anyone has some accommodation they'd like to rent out for a special guest.

We have also added a bunch of new pods in new locations.

Finally, don't forget to check out this month's GoGet Specials!

Sydney Rides Challenge

Sydney Rides 

When was the last time you rode a bike? 

 

We know lots of GoGet members could answer 'this morning'. But what about your work mates? 

 

Well, we asked around the GoGet office.  

  • 75% said 'in the last month' (31% - 'this morning') 
  • 5% said 'does a Honda count'
  • 20% said 'can't remember, but it had training wheels.'

Does your workplace have more pedal pushers? Well, you're going to have to prove it!

 

The City of Sydney has launched "The Sydney Rides Challenge" to get more people in the city interested in cycling. It's a fun competition, with lots of prizes, to see which organisation can get the greatest percentage of staff to ride a bike! 

 

It's on between the 26th of September - 16th of October, as part of the Sydney Rides Festival

 

To participate, you just need to ride a bike for 10 minutes. Easy! 

 

So for everyone who had training wheels on the last time they rode a bike, all you need to do is borrow a work mate's helmet, and probably their bike. Have them stand behind you holding the seat. Steady yourself, close your eyes and start pedalling! Off you go. Ride around the block a couple of times and in 10 minutes you're done. See, easy! 

 

Well, we'll be having a go and we challenge all GoGet

Bikes
GoGet staff bikes
members to see if their workplace can do any better than us! And every member whose organisation beats us, will go into the draw to win a year's free GoFrequent membership!

 

So go on, get pushing!   

 

Email us with your details and score at the end of the challenge. 

 

And - just in case - we were kidding about the 'close your eyes' bit!   

Fuel cards coming - thanks for your patience   
You'll be happy to hear that we will start rolling out new fuel cards from late next week.

We'll email you as the cards are installed into cars in your neighbourhood. There'll also be a new simple procedure which we'll let you know all about in the email.

Thanks for being so patient while we sorted this out.

Tip of the month - Filling up
We're still a few weeks away before there's a fuel card in every car.

In the mean time, please send us your fuel receipt so we can add the amount to your account as driving credit. But please send us the actual fuel receipt, not a credit card receipt. We need to record the number of litres you filled up.

And send all receipts to:

Email: fuel@goget.com.au
MMS: 0427 777 769
Fax: 02 8008 1614

Make sure to include your name (or member number) and the car rego (or car name).

By the way, the person who has filled up the most over the last few months will win a prize.

Partnership with Griffin 

GriffinAs we're all about supporting up and coming artists, coupled with all the regular drama in GoGet's offices, it's only natural for us to be partnering with the fine people at Griffin Theatre Company in 2012. Griffin Theatre Company's 2012 season is hot off the press, and they're celebrating with a cracking deal only available until midnight on 27th September.

 

Get into a year of theatre and see 9 shows for just $220, which includes the Main and Independent seasons. Or you can see the Main season at only $140 for 5 shows. (That's 30% off for GoGet newsletter readers!) 

 

That's some great value theatre. Just visit the Griffins online at

www.griffintheatre.com.au for full season and ticket details.

Accommodation wanted for delegate from the United Nations of carsharing

We're looking for accommodation close to our office in Glebe for a special guest who will visit us from one of our partner Canadian carsharing services from October to January.

Let us know if you're away for that period and your place will be empty or have accommodation that is relatively self-contained that could work for one person.

The dates are October 8th to January 9th 2012. If you think you may have something, send us an email with a brief description, weekly rate, address and a photo to spareplace@goget.com.au

If you have any feedback or questions about the service please drop us an email or give us call.

Thanks,
