Hey FD, Robin & Southern Cyclist, we've got a rival BUG reinventing themselves in the Peoples Republic of Moreland!
Yipppeeee!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
**************************
Do you love your bike?
Do you want to help make Brunswick the best cycling suburb in the WORLD?!?
The Brunswick Bicycle Users Group (BrunsBUG) invites you to join in BrunsBUG 2006, a workshop to help us plan our activities for the year ahead. This is your opportunity to get involved and get things moving!
We've had some exciting ideas already, including:
***Community events to promote cycling***
Cyclovia Sydney Road: one brilliant Sunday in May Sydney Rd will close to cars, and cyclists, trams and pedestrians will take over the street - with the full support of Council!
BrunsBUG is helping to organise this exciting event and there will be plenty of opportunities to get involved.
***Partnerships with local organisations***
The Asylum Seeker Resource Centre runs a recycled bicycle program for asylum seekers in the community.
Second hand bikes are easy to come by but suitable helmets, lights and locks are much more difficult to find.
BrunsBUG wants to think up some ways to assist this incredibly worthwhile program.
***Bike path art projects***
The time has come to turn the Upfield Path into a visual extravaganza!
***Advocacy projects ***
BUG members have plenty of opportunities to influence policies and funding decisions at the local, state and federal level, drawing on a wealth of experience and technical know-how. How can we give ourselves a louder, stronger voice?
We’ll be exploring these ideas and more at BrunsBUG 2006 Brunswick Town Hall Saturday 8th April from 2 - 4pm
All welcome - bring your imagination, your enthusiasm and as many bicycling buddies as you can muster!
