Actions and News
- Rob Fuller
- Ask Sarah ??? to facilitate, ??? to host breakout session
- Jim
- Determing whether CCoC will cover some of the catering costs.
- Find out about public transport to the venue
- MLS suggests: Has thought been given to which local Councillors and Officers should be invited? Perhaps Jim and others could draw up a shortlist to approve. They will then need to be written to ASAP. Bear in mind that this year’s City Council elections will be held on 1 May 2008.
- Simon
- approach Cambridge Station Cycles to pre-book numbers of bikes
- Jim, Simon
- Delegate responsibilities for Rides, Booking and Accommodation to conference helpers. [Feb ubpdate: Bev has joined the list, and offers of accommodation are coming in.]
- Agree budget with Campaign treasurer to cover costs.
- Get fellow committee and membership more fired up about this conference. We could even make a profit if we have e.g. nice Tee shirts / DVDs / Slap Wraps ! There must be talented media / facilitators among the membership
- Action: need to find volunteer helpers to serve cups of tea etc – can be given free places at the event.
- Bev
- Has requested all those who have so far offered accommodation to fill in the details using the booking form, and as at 7 March there are seven offers on the spreadsheet.

Theme Rationale
(I don’t think I’ve quite captured all of our debate here – comments please.)
- Cambridge has levels of cycling most akin to the Netherlands and Denmark – surely it must be great place to be a cyclist?
- Cycling is a Party Political issue in Cambridge
- Lifting the ban on cycling in the centre of Cambridge
- Two-way cycling in one-way streets
- Legalising safe maneouvres
- Cycle parking
- Cycling is a normal activity here – for transport, for work, for leisure
- Spread the story of the success of the Cambridge campaign to national audience
Catering Costs
NOTE: these costs are out of date, awaiting revised spreadsheet from Jim.
Mouth Music Caterers
Organic vegetarian food supplier:http://www.mouth-music.co.uk/buffets.php.
We can do menu 2 for £7.00 per head for over 100 people and for £6.85 per
head for over 200 people.
We can do menu 3 for £7.75 per head for over 100 people and for £7.60 per
head for over 200 people.
We will be able to supply you with drinks and an urn. If you have
volunteers available and want to keep costs down, it would make sense for
you serve the drinks yourself. If we need to staff it, we'd need to
charge in the region of £1.50 per head for each session of teas
and coffees. Otherwise, we can just charge you for the supplies which
will be significantly cheaper.
Food is supplied in such a way as to be easily self served, so we just
deliver and set it up, and come back later to pick up the empty crockery.
Option A Option B
Menu 2 for 200 £6.85 x 200 = 1370
Menu 3 for 200 £7.75 x 200 = 1550
