Shropshire Cycle Forum – 7 June 2011

The next Shropshire Cycle Forum takes place at the National Trust Chalet Pavilion in Carding Mill Valley, Church Stretton at 7pm on Tuesday 7 June 2011.

The Forum will look at cycling in the Church Stretton area and catch up on progress with mountain biking on the Long Mynd.

If you are interested in cycling with others to the Forum, a group will leave Shrewsbury at 5pm and the Castle Cyclists will be leaving Bishop’s Castle at 5.30pm.  More information can be found at www.cycleshrewsbury.co.uk.

The Forum will also be looking at opportunities to promote cycling over the summer months.  If you are organising any local cycle rides or are involved in other community events – or if you can spare a few hours on Saturday 11 June 2011 to help with the annual Shrewsbury BikeFest – please call Emma Bullard on 01743 255435.

Established in 1996, the Shropshire Cycle Forum meets four times a year.  Local cyclists from Shropshire and Telford and Wrekin are welcome to attend the meetings.

Members of the forum currently include local cyclists and representatives of environmental groups, police officers, councillors and council officers from Shropshire Council and Telford and Wrekin Council.

A variety of topics are discussed at meetings, including proposals for cycle routes and cycle parking, and ways to promote cycling.
