Hi everyone,

Last Thursday night was a great, proactive meeting with plenty of topics and discussion amongst the twenty or so participants.

To Anna: we all sincerely hope you're feeling much improved after last weeks soccer bingle and your presence was missed during the evening. ;)

The updated meeting agenda is below, please feel free to add on your details/notes.

I'll add my stuff in later, a tad busy right now. Also some food for thought, should the next round of meetings be held at a pub/restaurant function room and also be pay as-you-go instead of a table tab, as this can inadvertently cause problems when people depart at the evenings end.

cheers (and beers),


Chris ;)

1. Involving the broader community in BUG campaigns - a case study of the Darebin Creek-Main Yarra Trail Community Coalition (Darebin BUG)

2. Report on the CPF BUG Needs Analysis Survey (Rosemarie Speidel)

3.   Public liability insurance - who's got it, who hasn't; what are the barriers for BUGs; what assistance is currently available and what's on the horizon (Open discussion)

4.  Ideas for a combined BUG campaign - suggestions from Darebin BUG:
   - Getting bikes out of the shed and into use - what roles can/do BUGs play in supporting infrequent cyclists to become regular commuters?
   - Getting cyclists to "light up"

5. Report back from Velo City Conference (Paul McKay)

6. 3CR Bicycle Slot (Chris Star)

Hi all,

 

Just a reminder about the SuperBUG catchup THIS THURSDAY NIGHT, 7pm onwards at the Terminus Hotel, Queens Pde Clifton Hill http://tinyurl.com/3aapqw.

 

Thanks to those of you who have RSVP'd; I'm booking a table for 15 people this arvo so if you'd like to add your name please let me know asap; but given that it's a pub it will be fine for others to show up on the night and there's no obligation to have a meal - entirely up to you!

 

Please also pass this email on to anyone you think may not have received them and would be interested in coming along.

 

Thanks to those who suggested dicsussion topics for the evening I've brought them together into a suggested agenda:

 

1. Involving the broader community in BUG campaigns - a case study of the Darebin Creek-Main Yarra Trail Community Coalition (Darebin BUG)

 

2. Public liability insurance - who's got it, who hasn't; what are the barriers for BUGs; what assistance is currently available and what's on the horizon (Open discussion)

Look forward to seeing you there! I've got a late finish at work that night so prob won't get there till 7:30, gives others time to have dinner and catch up before we get into the agenda topics.

 

Ciao, Anna (MorelandBUG)
