EVENTS IN 2001

September 2001

Saturday 22

Curtain Road Car Free Day

Our Car Free Day event is going ahead in Curtain Road. If you can help out with making this a success, for instance by volunteering as a steward, please email Trevor. We're also looking for sponsors for the event, as there is no funding coming from the Council. Download a PDF of our sponsorship invitation here

[Ed: Despite the lack of funding and the publicity blackout following 11 September, we had a very successful Car Free Day in Curtain Road.]
