The Bristol Cyclist - No. 42 - Winter 2001 | Previous | Contents | Next
To celebrate our first decade of campaigning for
cyclists and a sane transport system in Bristol, we decided to have a good
knees-up at the Jacob Wells Dance Centre. Snapdragon
provided the music,
and the hall was full of sweaty people stripping the willow
,
promenading
and doe-ce-doeing
!
In the lobby we had a display of campaigns and events in our history: King
Canute holding back the tide of traffic on the M32; Critical Mass rides;
the anti-speed campaign; our subvertising
efforts such as pedestrian
power
; National Bike Week; and anti-road campaigns.
Our social and leisure side was also on display with social rides, picnics, holidays and social meetings. Lots of people were interested in the organisation and hopefully new members will join.
After the raffle, an enormous BCC birthday cake was wheeled in, everyone
sang Happy Birthday to You
and some cyclist children blew out the
candles.
Thanks to Catweazel for the wonderful cake which fed a multitude of hungry dancers, and to the staff at the Dance Centre who made us very welcome. Thank you to all those who organised a very enjoyable celebration and to everyone who came along to support it.
