MCC Meetings

Merton Cycling Campaign monthly meetings have moved to the All Saints Centre, All Saints Road, SW19 1BX. They are still at 8pm on the first Thursday of the month (except August). This new venue provides more spacious and more accessible accommodation and has the added benefit of being just a few yards from possibly the best pub in Merton (The Sultan in Norman Road). We thank Jenny for having so warmly hosted MCC meetings for more years than I care to remember in her living room, but it was becoming a bit of a tight squeeze to get in there sometimes!

Our 2009 Annual Meeting will also be at the All Saints Centre, at 8pm on Thursday 9th July. I am planning (once again) to stand down as borough co-ordinator - it's been 16 years now – so if anyone here feels like taking over the role please do get in touch.

MCC Local Cycling Survey

As mentioned in the last newsletter, Merton Cycling Campaign is conducting a simple survey to identify the best cycling facilities and the locations most in need of improvement in the borough of Merton. We are planning to issue a press release and pass on the results of this survey to the council. This is a unique opportunity to potentially influence the provision of cycling in your local area! Your participation is much appreciated. Thanks. MCC.

You can fill this form out ‘online’ at the MCC website or simply post a paper copy of the survey below to the address provided at the end.

Please provide up to three responses to each question. If numbered (1, 2, 3) we will assume an order of preference. Otherwise, they will be treated equally. Please return this within two weeks. Thanks.

Respect others

It's summertime and people, especially cyclists, are more likely to go to the local parks. In the interests of others, please obey the local park rules and signs, particularly where cycling is prohibited by dismounting and walking through the parks. Parks are surprisingly easy to reach by bike. Respect each other and enjoy the sun!
