  • Is there a donation page?

  • It's bad enough dealing with the density of tea cup shops and posho knobheads but Ukelele?

  • Donation page? Can't make it down...

  • Donation page? Can't make it down...

    @Ecobeard ?

  • It hasn't launched yet, when the link comes out I will pop it in here.

    Beck from the shop said it will Launch next week.

    There is this thunderclap link to get the word out though, which people can sign up to.

    If you are coming it's worth RSVPing to the email in the flyer as there is limited capacity in the venue.

  • More info from BC below -

    It's going to be an awesome night, with live music, local ales & an amazing prize draw including two bikes to be won, kindly donated by Specialized UK & Ison Distribution (who donated a Surly).

    In the meantime, one thing you can do to shout about the crowdfunding campaign is to sign up to our Thunderclap & share the link, asking your friends to do the same!

    How does it work? If 100 people (or more) sign up to our Thunderclap by 8pm next Thursday (when we launch the crowdfunding page to the public) the message in the box above will automatically be tweeted or posted on Facebook by each subscriber's social media accounts – creating an eruption of attention for our crowdfunding page!

    It's so easy for things to get lost on social media, so this is a way to (hopefully) make the campaign go viral, to a diverse range of audiences. The more people sign up, the further we can reach & the more people will hear about our crowdfunding campaign!

    To #savebrixtoncycles the crowdfunding campaign needs to raise at least £40,000 in just a month, so all of these initiatives make a big difference! If you haven't already, you can also add a twibbon to your profile picture on Facebook and Twitter here!

    The campaign has got off to a great start with Brixton Buzz, SW Londoner, Bike Biz &Brixton Blog sharing details of the upcoming launch. Now to turn talk to action!
    We couldn't have got this far without you. Let's do this! Let's #savebrixtoncycles!

    PS - You can also follow the campaign on Twitter: @save_BC

  • Does anyone know why they need to raise 40k in a month?

    A quick google earlier this morning found articles from the beginning or the year noting their current premises were being re-developed and they would likely be moving back to the location once the redevelopment has been completed.

    Has something big changed? or am I very out of touch.

  • I don't believe that the shop will be going back into the same space after re-development, I also don't believe that the shop will be temporarily moving with their current landlord.

    I belive the £40k will enable the shop to move quickly on any premises that become available and are suitable in Brixton.

    Sorry for being cagey about what I'm writing. I can speak for the Club in absolute terms, but talking about the shop and their current situation and future plans with any certainly is probably best left to the Co-op members.

    I hope that makes sense?

    If you want exact details I'm sure if you phone the shop or pop in they will happily chat about it.

    Also you'll be able to find out the plans on the 22nd! :)

  • Appreciate you cannot speak on behalf of the shop - I was mildly interested, no more.

    I will take the radical approach and talk to someone next week at the event

  • :) see you there!

    There will also, probably, be a Halloween fundraiser at Canopy - more details and another event thread when its all confirmed.

  • Co-op meets crowdfund ... an interesting proposal. In for the launch do.

  • I'm in to see Skully

  • I will be in disguise.

  • Shame, I guess I'll have to give you that thing I owe you another day.

  • Video now up here!

    Crowdfunding link to follow, but in the meantime enjoy @hillbilly 's Outtake reel

    See you all tonight!

  • Rob will not be there tonight got tickets for Sixday racing at Stratford but will be there in spirit

  • No worries Adam, give Christine a cheer for me as she shoots past.

    (And pop some cash in when the link goes live.....and I post it)

  • Paging the south people... band are tuning up right now.

  • Couldn't be there tonight so visited BC earlier.

  • £14k in the tank already! Great night, has to slip away but thanks to all for bearing with me while I talked rubbish on a dodgy PA.

    Hope you're all still ripping it up!
