Geography is the study of people and their interaction with their natural and cultural environments. Studying event management from a geographic perspective involves looking at the spatial component of the event and how people interact with the environment (this can be either/or/both cultural and natural). The study will include key geographic concepts such as perspectives, change and sustainability.

As geographers we are interested in the where the event takes place, the processes involved in planning the event and the social, economic/ environmental impacts of the event.

 MOUNTAIN THUNDER MOTORCYCLE STREET RACE Saturday April 19

**Methven Mountain Thunder 2014 will be roaring through the town centre of Methven on Easter Saturday. The motorcycle street race sees bikes travelling at up to 200kmph on the 1km circuit, completing laps in 32 – 34 seconds.** ** Easter Saturday is a fun filled day for all ages. Spectators can get up close, feel the noise, taste the speed and all from behind the safety of bales and security fencing. The streets are bursting with colour, spectacle, noise and excitement; bustling with stalls packed with food and handy goodies. Seven classes of motorcycles take part in the racing, including Formula One, Motards, Buckets, Pre 63, Pre 72, Pre 82 and Pre 89. Riders in 2013 were as varying as the motorcycles, with ages ranging from 14 to 78 including 17 year old Miss Scout Fletcher. **
 * Apart from Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man you are hard pressed to find many other motorcycle street races on the planet. Methven Mountain Thunder is one of six street races in New Zealand, and CAMS would rate it as one of the best in New Zealand.**
