Richard Mary circulated the KBUG bike plan. Provide some feedback - I would suggest having a look at Appendix E which has a list of projects. What projects are missing from this list, what do you consider the top 5 priority projects? Are there places that you ride that you would like to see improved that aren't on the list? 7.3 Hobart BUG ? Ambrose 7.4 CyclingSouth ? Tim 7.5 Web Site ? Andrew Total web site hits: March:5,638 February:4,359 January:4,721 December:3,227 November 3,434. 7.6 Membership ? Ambrose 7.7 Social Rides ? Andy Ian Terry ? gA quick suggestion for a family ride in the September School Holidays to put in the BT calendar if you wish. We are going to Flinders for around a week from Sat September 16. Riding about 25-40km per day and camping en route. Families with children particularly welcome. Bikes can go to Flinders on the barge from Bridport with adult passengers @ approx $87. A long and at times rough trip. We will probably have mego across on hte barge with bikes and Helen and Oscar flying from Launceston or by charter flight from Bridport (cheaper) if we can get enough people interested. Another possible day ride in the next three months if you want to put another one in is along the bike track to the Moorilla Museum of Antiquities at Berriedale. Nice spots to have picnics outside and interesting display. I am happy to be ride co-ordinator for both these if you would like them in the calendar. The Moorilla Museum closes in three months for redevelopment which will take three years. Maybe Saturday or Sunday the 8th or 9th of April might suit that ride., or May 13 or 14. Let me know if you would like these on the calendar.h 8 Business Arising 8.1 8.2 9 New business 9.1 Bicycle Facilities Workshop - Tim Tim has been talking to Mary about this, see attached doc, I am proposing that BT fund this - approx $800. 9.2 Volunteer Recognition Program ? David 9.3 State Gov on cycling matters particularly SBAC ? Tim BT should start moving the State Gov on cycling matters particularly SBAC. Suggest Dave writes letter to Minister Brian Green asking some pertinent questions. Could also write to Jim Cox Sport and Recreation. 9.4 What are going to spend our bike week income on? - Tim How much income did we make from BikeWeek & how much are we giving to CyclingSouth? Funding a Bike Breakfast around National Ride to Work Day Oct 4th? And might be work mentioning this RIDE OF SILENCE May 17 is the date for the international Ride of Silence, being held to commemorate cyclists who have been injured or killed while bicycling on public roadways. So far, more than a hundred rides are slated for thirty-seven states and several foreign countries. Visit this website to see if there's a ride near you; if not, you'll have the opportunity to organize your own ride: http://www.rideofsilence.org Tim hasnft been able to get hold of Mary to get a figure on our income for Bike Week but it will be over $1000, possibly nearly $1500. My pitch for spending it would be a BT banner like CyclingSouthfs (a guess $500?), the Infrastructure Workshop ($700) and funding a Bike Breakfast in Oct during the week of National Ride to Work Day ($200 -$500) This depends on how lavish the event is, type of food, hire of tent or Mawson Pavilion etc. TBC may have some money to assist with this.
