Subject: {Disarmed} RE: [vicbugchat] Re: Expression of Interest for BUG's to exhibit with CPF at Sustainable Living Festival

I was previously working with Alzheimer’s Australia Vic, as coordinator of our workplace BUG

But now am at Council on the Ageing (COTA) Victoria – see contact details below

As part of work in promoting physical activity for older people and healthy ageing, we have an Older Person’s Cycling Group that runs regular mid week rides

 

I am wondering if it would be ok for us to have some space on your stand to promote older people cycling and being involved in physical activity, and our cycling group? – we have brochures etc we can provide, and I (and possibly others) would be happy to spend some time helping out on the stall

If you are happy for us to participate with you could I also sell raffle tickets. I am coordinating a team in the Murray to Moyne for Alzheimer’s Australia Vic and we are raffling a beautiful Felt Mountain Bike, which may provide a bit of an attraction to the stand?

 

Let me know asap, so I can organize some others to help out as well

 

Thanks

Hi all,

Just a reminder about the upcoming Sustainable Living Festival on the 17-18
February, see details below from previous email.

In the next couple of days you'll probably receive a phone call from either
Rose (Melb BUG) or me enquiring if your BUG would be interested in coming
along and sharing the double marquee with the Cycling Promotion Fund.

We've booked three 1.8m trestle tables, eight chairs and hopefully will have
the crew from Bike Fix coming along to show bicycle repair tips & skills.

So far there's been a good response, and if you would like
material/promotional stuff from your BUG on the marquee, but can't make it,
please feel free to contact me so it can be arranged to send your material
to CPF.

BTW - Kathy & I are job-sharing this role at CPF now. Kathy's in on Monday,
Thursday and Friday, I'm in on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

cheers,

Chris ;)

Hi all,

The Sustainable Living Festival is on February 16-18 at Federation Square,
you may have heard that the Cycling Promotion Fund has booked a large
marquee space to ensure a good cycling presence at the Festival and to
enable Bicycle Users Groups to have a shared display at no cost to
themselves.

For more information on the festival visit: Sustainable Living Festival:
http://www.slf.org.au/festival/

Opening hours are:
Friday: 10am - 6pm (mainly school groups and businesses)
Saturday: 10am - 6pm
Sunday: 10am - 5pm
Entry cost: Free

This will be a great event for promoting cycling and BUG's - with an
estimated 100,000 visitors over the weekend.

As a reciprocal gesture, BUG's choosing to attend are being asked to
organise their own displays, props etc. So start thinking about what theme
and promotional material you would like to bring along.

The space will be a large covered 3 x 6 meter marquee at Federation Square
during the festival. The Cycling Promotion Fund will be sharing this space,
but there will be no dividing wall between the display areas.

If your BUG would be interested in joining in, please answer the following
questions (via email if possible) by **Thursday 25th January** so that we
can start to organise the shared space and also know how many BUG's would
like to attend.

Please don't hesitate to contact Kathy or me: email:
chris@cyclingpromotion.com.au and office@cyclingpromotion.com.au, (Ph: 9818
5400) at Cycling Promotion Fund if you have any questions or want to chat
about the proposed shared marquee.

Cheers,

Chris
