General BUG meeting on 24.11.2011 – Planning your next cycle holidays

gcross — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 01:33:10 +0000

Dear Buggies,

The year is drawing to an end pretty quickly and on Thursday we will have the last meeting for 2011.

Some of you might be pondering about a short cycle holiday during the Christmas break so we thought we give you some inspiration.

We will have some guest speakers (Paul and Julia) who are gonna share their recent cycle trip with a group of friends on the (almost open) Tallarook to Mansfield trail. And from there some of the party pushed on to Wodonga via Milawa, Beechworth, Yackandandah and Albury. They are gonna bring some of their touring gear along as well (bags and trailer) to give some insight on basic cycle touring.

So come along and get some ideas for your own trip!

The meeting is held from 7.30 pm at the Edinburgh Castle Hotel (681 Sydney Road, Brunswick) in the dining room next to the courtyard.

Food and drinks can be purchased there.

Regards,

Julia Mischke.

Meet State Election Candidates – meeting # 1

phuong — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 14:14:37 +0000

Meet State Election Candidates – Brunswick & Pascoe Vale
Meeting # 1 – ALP Candidates – Jane Garrett & Christine Campbell
7:30pm, Thursday 26th August 2010
Edinburgh Castle Hotel, Brunswick
(in the private dining room out back)
RSVP: ms.phuong.l@gmail.com

Dear Moreland BUG,

Come hear from your state political candidates on their stance on cycling issues.

At the Moreland BUG we believe there is a lot that can be achieved for cyclists and cycling infrastructure by state government. We have therefore invited the candidates from the major parties contesting the upcoming November state election to come and meet with the BUG.

It will be an opportunity to hear from each of the candidates and to put questions and raise issues of concern.

As the Moreland local council area is largely covered by two state electorates we have asked the candidates from Brunswick and Pascoe Vale to come and meet with us.

On Thursday August 26 Jane Garrett and Christine Campbell, ALP candidates, will join us at the Edinburgh Castle at 7:30pm.

We have also invited candidates from The Greens and the Liberal Party to meet with us during proceeding months and more information will follow as the parties confirm their availability.

The response to the Local Council draft budget was fantastic in achieving better outcomes for Moreland cyclists. This is another great opportunity to demonstrate to our state government the importance of cyclist issues in our area. So please put the date in you diary and come along.

For those that have not come before we meet in the back meeting room at the Edinburgh Castle from 7:30 to 9pm.

Yours Sincerely,
Stephen & Phuong
