2013-10-02 LCC in Hackney Annual Meeting, featuring Carlton Reid, 7:30pm

The London Cycling Campaign in Hackney (LCCiH) are delighted to invite you to our Annual Meeting this coming Wednesday (2nd October), featuring Carlton Reid, travel writer and editor of Bikebiz and BikeHub. Carlton will be giving the inside story on his eagerly anticipated new book, Roads Were Not Built for Cars, which earlier this year achieved more than four times its crowd-funding goal, towards which Hackney LCC was the largest single contributor among hundreds of backers.

Original research undertaken for Roads Were Not Built For Cars reveals how motoring actually owes a massive and largely forgotten historical debt to cycling and its pioneers. Carlton's talk - like his book - will aim to show how the hidden history of who first lobbied for better roads can inform the future.

** All welcome!**

The meeting will start with a brief formal session during which we will hold our annual elections for chair, secretary and treasurer. LCC members resident in the borough are invited to consider standing for these posts, or to volunteer to join our committee in another capacity of their choosing such as events or rides co-ordinator.

>> 7.30pm, New Kingshold Community Centre, corner of King Edward's Road and Ainsworth Road, E9 7JE. Map

'Annual Meeting' doesn't mean we only meet once a year, by the way :-) In fact we meet monthly. This is an Annual General Meeting to all intents and purposes. It's just that apparently because London Cycling Campaign and its local groups are a single organisation in law, there can only be one AGM and that's the central one, so local groups can't call their AGMs AGMs. Not that all legal geeks agree with that opinion. Whatever.

Anyway, fret not. We will sprint through the AGM-type business as quickly as humanly possible, so that there's plenty of time for Carlton.

Is it okay if your not an LCC member? Would really like to hear Carlton Reid's talk.

As it says on the invite: 'All welcome.' :)

in ;)

See you in an hour and a bit!

Great turnout last night and a lovely talk. Forumengers included skydancer, Freebird, Buffalo Bill, Zebra Cyclist, and howradmichello.

Thanks Hackney Cyclists for organising the excellent talk from Carlton and giving us an opportunity to show him a little of hackney . Also thanks for the food and drinks.
