Changes to this month’s meetings & location

The Moreland Bicycle User Group is due to meet this Thursday 25th June 2009.

  • The monthly Moreland BUG meeting will be held at the Browns Corner Hotel (corner of Bell St and Sydney Road, Coburg) following the conclusion of the council meeting. The group will hold the meeting in the dining/bistro section of the hotel. Keep an eye out for a group of people with bicycle helmets.

    Next week’s meeting – CHANGE OF PLANS

    It’s been brought to my attention that this month’s BUG meeting coincides with the Council Budget submissions hearing, which will be held at Coburg Civic Centre from 6pm, Thurs 25th June.

    So the committee has decided that we will not hold a formal BUG meeting this month, but that instead we will encourage as many people as possible to come along to the submissions hearing. Even if you don’t wish to speak, it’s great to have a good strong show of cyclists there – it shows councillors that there is a big and active cycling community in Moreland.

    Afterwards, those who are keen can head to a nearby pub or restaurant for an informal meeting/bikechat.

    If you do plan on making a verbal submission to Council on the night, make sure you register with Derek Madden of Council beforehand.

    Happy winter riding,
    Anna
