Begging Bowl

With regret the Bike Aid participation in the Latitude Festival has been cancelled. See the relevant post for details. This remains here just as a record.

In order to create a Bike Aid cycling 'community centre' at the Latitude Festival, we need to obtain the following resources. Any offers of assistance or leads are welcome. 


We will need this by 11/7/12 in IP19. All the donors will be profusely thanked and linked to here and on the stand.


We believe doing this will greatly leverage the other resources we already have and so bring considerable benefits to the local community and wider Suffolk and cycling nationally. Ask us how.


Update: we are getting offers on some stuff. We'll tick off what we have secured soon as confirmed. Things marked ** are consumables, the rest we just need to borrow. It's all a matter of perspective; we think we don't need to buy anything new, most of these things we've seen thrown away or know they lying forgotten in storage somewhere.
