Planning Meeting Dinner
A WNBR Plannning Meeting Dinner will be held on Friday the 7th of August 2009 on the coat tails of the Critical Mass bike ride held that same evening. The Critical Mass bike ride assembles at Civic Park, opposite the Newcastle Town Hall at 5:30pm for a 6pm start. The ride will take about an hour and lead riders to the Premier Hotel, 1 Brunker Road (the Nine Ways), Broadmeadow at 7pm. Please try to come on the bike ride if at all possible because it is a fun team building event and is very similar to WNBR apart from being clothed. A selection of beverages and meals are available on the menu including vegetarian and vegan dishes.
Decisions that need to be made include the ride time, assembly place, route, location of the painting place and party. Please come along with your ideas. If you would like to volunteer to help with publicity, media, party organisation or other roles that help make the ride a success, please come along to the Planning meetings.
The Planning Meeting Dinner is one of the formal planning meetings organised from time to time and usually take place in a friendly pub.

Get there without noise, air pollution or climate changing, green house gasses. Foster fitness and friendlier, gentler community spaces rather than competitive, angry, fat, lazy, egotist car culture.
