Can you help Sustrans at Cycle Live Nottingham?

The heading says it all but I am sure you are all aware of the Great Notts cycle ride, well this year it forms part of E.ON Cycle Live Nottingham, a 3 day celebration of cycling. Dave Stevens, our Volunteer Co-ordinator based in Leeds has been in touch with regards the event, so over to you Dave..........


One of the things that always impresses me about our volunteers in the East Midlands is your ability to go the extra mile to help out a neighbour in need...

For instance: in July many of you are helping Sustrans at FestiVol in Sherwood Forest (thanks again for your commitment, enthusiasm and support with this. It simply wouldn't be happening without you!)

The preceding weekend there is another opportunity for you to break free of your borders and work together towards the collective good...

July 13th - 15th is the Nottingham Cycle Live / Big Day Out / Great Notts Bike ride event. http://www.cyclelivenottingham.co.uk/ 

It promises to be an amazing event with up to 15,000 people attending and our University Project in Nottingham has taken a lead role in The Big Green / Sustainable Festival and giving it a Sustainable Transport Theme. They are currently working on a number of ideas e.g. Rollapluza, bike swap, bike polo etc. as well as having an information stand etc. So any additional hands to the pump would be very very welcome (travel expenses can be claimed).

For more information, or to offer a hand, please contact joanna.ward@sustrans.org.uk We’d be very grateful of your help!
