Crowd-funding campaign for Adelaide DIY garage
The target is $30,000, to be funded by up-front purchase of membership pledges and sponsorshipsWe've just read about a bloke in the UK who's starting up a crowd-funding campaign to bail Greece out of its current crisis. That's ambitious, but not so much a crowd-funding scheme that's being launched in Adelaide to create a new inner-city DIY garage.
The current proprietors of Greaser’s motorcycle workshop, Gerrard and Josephine, are behind the campaign, with the new enterprise to create a space for bike owners, motorcycle enthusiasts and amateur mechanics to work on their pride and joy without the hassle and expense of maintaining and buying their own equipment. Let them explain further:
The annual membership allows members exclusive access to garage space and tools to work on their own motorcycles, and there will also be training classes on motorcycle maintenance and repair. Future plans include social events, organised rides and a rockabilly-themed eatery. For detailed membership pricing visit pozible.com/project/197075 or greasersadelaide.com.
“We have been hatching a plan to create an inner-city hub and community for Adelaide’s motorcycle lovers for a while now,” Gerrard said. "By partnering with other business and individuals we’re hoping to build our collective expertise to help each other out and have lots of fun while doing it!”
The target fundraising amount is $30,000, to be funded by up-front purchase of membership pledges and sponsorships.
The couple has locked in some upcoming events to raise awareness and kickstart the fundraising. They are as follows:
