2009 AGMThe Clubs AGM was held on SATURDAY December 5, at the Loftus Centre (Corner Loftus Rd & Vincent St) The AGM minutes are now available. CTA Campaign Against Broken GlassAs mentioned before,(see article on broken glass and bottle deposits) please offer your support for Government moves for a container deposit scheme (example draft letter) to reduce the amount of lacerating container debris. Together we can help counter the industry campaign against deposits on bottles and greatly reduce the amount of glass and punctures. The Bicycle Transportation Alliance is also supporting the broken glass campaign http://www.btawa.org.au/~bta/campaigns/current.shtml Please send a e-mail or write to:
Hazard ReportingDont forget to keep reporting hazards when you find them it is the only way that the relevant authorities know there is a problem and the most effective way of getting it fixed. In March, glass hazards made up almost half of the reports, but the number has been dropping steadily until now glass appears to comprise just over a quarter of all hazards. Is this because there is less glass around; because the authorities have become much more efficient in removing hazards before they affect users; or because we have become complacent and are reporting less? My money is on the latter Send an e-mail describing the hazard, and its location (and perhaps a digital photo), and your cntact details to Cycling&dpi.wa.gov.au (and a copy to BTA_WA&hotmail.com) or use the web hazard report form at http://www.dpi.wa.gov.au/cycling/2345.asp For more information, contact Bruce Robinson 9384-7409 0427 398 708 Bruce.Robinson (at) Westnet.com.au |
