We're coming to Auckland and we want to meet you
Auckland, New Zealand First GeeTramp® meet up.
Trampolines ready to have available to sell into New Zealand, are currently on their way and expected to be available for delivery around New Zealand from around Mid June.
Our aim is to have a meet up with as many kids as we can manage safely over 2 days during school term break in July. Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th July.
Although running for 2 days most kids will only attend one of the days. (see more info on that below)
What is a gtramp meetup?
Trampoline meetups or AKA -Gtramp meetups; are made by having kids that not only know similar tricks but are all at different levels of skill with a “willing to have a go” attitude.
Meetups set the perfect mood to give everyone the confidence to try new tricks and combos. Having people that know how to double bounce properly makes attempting harder tricks easier.
A meetup as we host them are not a competition. They are purely for fun as kids coming together with a common interest and passion.
We deliberately have a range of ages and skills to defuse any feeling of anxiety that can come with competition.
We promote the event for kids to share their skills with others, and their guidance to help others learn something new with no pressure.
Gtramp meets ups are like a party; they are chill, fun, and everyone is super excited about the day/days and all they really require is a trampoline.
Trampolines used at the Auckland GeeTramp meetup
Our GeeTramp branded trampolines will be set up and used at an indoor warehouse location in the industrial area near Auckland Airport.
We will have set up – 1 of 14x16ft, 10x17ft and 8x12ft. 3 of 9x14ft and 12ft round
Two Day "Pop up Shop"
Additional to being a meetup the weekend will also double as an opportunity for people to come by and see our trampolines in action and check the design and quality as there will be no other location to view the trampolines in New Zealand after this unless it is in someones back garden for the neighbours to see.
In effect, the meet up will be a "pop up shop" opportunity so feel free to tell your friends and family about it.
How to buy a GeeTramp Trampoline
We are creating a new website for New Zealand to manage the freight and currency exchange seamlessly for New Zealanders.
The website will be www.webandwarehouse.co.nz
There you will find all the GeeTramp brand sizes and spare parts we will have available in NZ.
The ability to purchase or layby won’t be available until stock is entered.
At the time of writing this, the shipping hasn’t been finalised so we are not really equipped to do quotes either. But the shipping within New Zealand is going to be a lot cheaper than what families have been paying to have our trampolines imported themselves into New Zealand.
When, where and times?
Date – The meet up will be held on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th July 2018
Time - 10am - 3pm or 5pm. The hours will be dependent on how many kids are coming. So this will be confirmed and updated in a post to the attendees closer to the time
Where – We don't have an exact address in Auckland yet for where we will host it but as soon as we do it will be made known. We aim for it to be in the industrial region near the Auckland international airport.
What about safety and who is managing the event.
At the start of every meetup before anyone gets on the trampolines we run a safety and expectations of behaviour session with all the participants.
For the meetup, we have a parent waiver form to be signed and returned before the event. Parents are welcome to stay and be responsible for their child throughout the event.
I have first aid and also a working with Children’s certificate which is a requirement in Australia for anyone left in the care of children in a workplace, or leisure time environment.
Marketing the event
Kids are encouraged to film, photograph on the day to share on social media.
We also do lives via Instagram on the day to both our business accounts, kids are often tagged in these so if you don’t wish your child to be included please make us aware.
We give each participant a screen printed Tee to wear for the day as a keepsake of the event.
Amenities and food.
We supply snacks and drinks, and for lunch, we will supply pizza for kids.
The facility we decide on will have indoor toilets and running water and practical parking.
Expectation of parents
We will encourage kids to have you read this article and any other posts or articles I write about the event before July 14th.
Parents are welcome to stay as long as they wish, or drop and go (after meeting us) to return at the agreed end time.
Ensure we do have the signed waiver form, from you and phone number to contact you on the day.
If you won’t be collecting your child let us know who will be.
On the day I will give you my mobile number so if needed you will be able to contact us.
Sponsored kids and 2-day attendance pass
The kids who will be able to come on both days will be the New Zealand kids that we have chosen to sponsor.
Also, 3 kids who won a spot from the New Year competition we ran at the start of the year.
10x17ft @aidan.tumblez
9x14ft - @twistingtori @gymnast_lara @max.mcquoid
Team Nelson 14x16ft to share @gtamp.jack @xavier.whitte @izaakdunlop @wilsonfreerun
Anyone who is flying in from a long distance please DM me on Instagram or email to see if we can have you come both days too. (Will try to ensure all long-distance travellers more than 3 hours can attend both days)
Sponsored kids trampolines
The trampolines used at the meet up will be the ones that the sponsored kids will be getting. The ones flying in won’t, of course, be able to take their trampoline home, so we will box them up and ship out on Monday.
Anyone who is able to take the trampoline on Sunday afternoon can.
Final notes about gtramp meet-ups
Our Meets ups; by all accounts have been well received and enjoyed in Australia we hope to bring that same energy to New Zealand for you to add your own personality and vibe.
There will possibly be more kids wanting to attend than we can invite and we know there will be some disappointed kids; for this, we are truly sorry.
We will be as fair as possible in the way we do the invites please respect the final outcome and know we will host another one during the next school holidays – most likely in Nelson.
We also plan to be back to host further meetups in 2019.
This year we are happy to announce within Australia we will be adding a new location, in Brisbane.
Any questions you have please email me at or DM on Instagram. @geetramp
Looking forward to a fun weekend with you all in Auckland.
Julie :)
