From the wharf to the dirt road, also some new signs and a memorial mention of Kate at the Council meeting. 8 Business Arising 8.1 Kate Tamayo Ken White suggested "Should their be some way of remembering Kate a possible and straight forward way would be to name an annual event in her honour or seek out a feature such as a road, a circuit or such that may require a name in the future. This would have to be an official name as put to the Nomenclature Board." Need suggestion regards CPF funding offer (maybe $500) – is still open and should be followed up. 8.2 National Ride to Work Day 4th October - Tim 8.3 BT Big Ride 8th October Tim has created a sample online SurveyMonkey survey form for further discussion. Finalise name (& any details?) before Mary sends CyclingSouth newsletter email to 700+ recipients. 8.4 Cycle Safe Insurance It appears that Cycle Safe have again "lost" one of our cheques, and as always, being totally unresponsive in replying to emails and returning phone calls. The lost cheque was for payment of a number of policies, and Stuart now has to ring up each of the members, explain the situation & see what they want to do. We discussed this issue at the May monthly meeting. Stuart and Andrew propose we put all the details on our web site for how members can take out a Cycle Safe personal accident insurance policy, but BT does not get involved in handling the money in future. 9 New business 9.1 Bendigo Bank - Andrew For the record: we have remove Kate & Geraldine Lum as signatories; we need to add David on his return. Internet access has been organised. We now have 4 signatories; with any 2 to sign: Andrew, Tim, Stuart, David. 9.2 Headed note paper and envelopes – Tim Tim will try and get some costings before the meeting. 9.3 BikeVic Ride - Tim I got phone call from the Great Tas Ride the other day, extolling the virtues of ride and how BT can be involved including the fact that they are offering 200 free bikes to Tas residents to sign up for the ride and perhaps we would like to promote such a generous offer. 9.4 BFA Local Government Roads to Recovery Campaign “…Now it's over to BFA groups to inform Bicycle User Groups and encourage them all to put pressure on their local government. To help BUGs follow up, here is a sample letter to their council that BUGs can use or modify. They can find the $ their council receives at the CPF web page on the link above…” 9.5 BikeWeek 2007 Confirmed with CS that BT will run CR, TdF. Has asked whether BT want to run the Half Century Ride. Has asked permission to use BT as “conduit” for BW funding grant as needs to be state level organisation. 9.6 Action Items – Andrew I was considering the idea of having “action items from last meeting” as an agenda item, because quite a few items get actioned each month, but then often get forgotten. Was thinking as having as 1st para in business arising.
