Jobs

Volunteers wanted

To really make this ride happen, people are wanted to get involved in organising and promoting the ride. The following jobs need to be taken on by eager volunteers:

Before the ride

Pre-ride event organisers (1 volunteer)
Police liaison (URGENTLY NEED MAIN VOLUNTEER!)
Press release writing and media liaison (3 volunteers – press releases written and distributed by Press Dispensary)
Flyer and poster printing and distribution (1 volunteer)
Legal support
Outreach (see interest groups, below)
Publicity
Web editors and designers (for this wiki and the main site)
Fund-raisers (funds needed for advertising, flyer/poster printing, legal costs etc)
Communications officer – email-outs, mailing list etc

On the day

Body painters
Cycling marshals, front and back (with walky-talkies?) (1 coordination volunteer)
Stationary marshals at key junctions
Stewards (non-riding), to set up and clear start point etc
Bike/skate mechanics
Sound system bikes and riders
Trailer bikes to carry clothes?
Refreshments provider at end of ride (nudist beach?) (ice box with beer, fruit etc?)

Interest group representatives

Individuals and representatives from the following interest groups are also sought:

Activists
Body arts practitioners
Cyclists
Environmentalists (1 volunteer)
Lesbian, bisexual, gay and transgender community (1 volunteer)
Naked protesters
Naturists/nudists
Performance artists
Skaters
Students
Sustainable transport advocates

See also: the Related Interest Groups section of the WNBR Brighton Yahoo! group.

Event clearance

The event and route will be cleared with Sussex Police Planning & Events Department
It may also need to be checked with the Brighton & Hove Council Events Office
We will have free public liability insurance through Bike Week
We will have to confirm that our ride can start from the Level. Eg: it may clash with BASS (Brighton Alliance of Sound Systems), who have staging festivals at the Level around the same time as the Brighton Naked Bike Ride in previous years, or the funfair that is sometimes hosted there

Police ”censorship”

Hopefully the issue of full nudity has been resolved now, following the 2007 ride. (Exposure of "rude bits" was banned at the 2006 ride by Chief Superintendent Jeremy Paine. He has since been replaced by Graham Cox, then Alan Ladley, Kevin Moore, and now Paul Pearce.)

Pre-ride events

Planning meetings

Planning meetings to discuss this ride have been scheduled on the last Friday of each month between January and May (the months before the ride). They start at 8pm, and are timed to follow the Critical Mass Brighton bike ride. The venue is the Caroline of Brunswick pub. Please come along if you'd like to get involved!

As this is proving to be inconvenient for people to attend, we are also/instead scheduling meetings at the Sanctuary Cafe on Tuesday 25 March and Tuesday 13 May at 6pm, and at the film night on Friday 25 April (details TBC).

Film screenings

WNBR Brighton & Hove films (5-10 minutes each) – see Brighton & Hove video

Volunteers

Please get in touch if you can help organise these screenings: Do you have connections with he venues? Can you lend or borrow a video projector? Would you like to give a short talk to introduce each film?

Pre-ride cycle confidence training session/s

Ian at Bike For Life has offered to organise pre-ride training sessions to boost people's confidence with riding bikes, prior to the ride.

Potential affiliations, sponsorship and endorsements

The Big Lemon have expressed an interest in chartering a double-decker bus for the ride (to transport riders from and to London? Clothing-optional?)
Brighton & Hove Council's Walking & Cycling Officer (Abbie Hone) has offered to set up a 'Dr Bike' session at the start of the ride
Natural Balance Foods are intersted in promoting their Nakd cereal bars at the ride (thanks to Liz Wakefield from the Green Party!)
Sustrans might be persuaded to set up a stall at the start of the ride
Down To Earh, Portland Road, Hove
Castor & Pollux
Five Miles To Fabulous, the CTC's promotional weekend of women's cycling, coincides with the Brighton ride date!

Taking part

Participants should be reminded to bring bags to carry clothes, but just in case, organisers should bring some!

Bike and skate hire companies need to be contacted about the possibility of hiring out bikes and skates. (Eg: Planet Cycles)

Pre-ride body and bike decoration

Volunteers wanted: Body Painters, Crafty People

Route

Start

Volunteers wanted: People to put up rider enclosure ribbon barriers, information desk etc

Route

The route starts at the Level and ends at the Black Rock naturist beach. It passes the following landmarks (in route order): Royal Pavilion, Old Steine, Brighton Pier, Brighton & Hove seafront, West Pier, Peace Statue, King Alfred Leisure Centre, George Street, Hove Town Hall, Floral Clock, Western Road, Churchill Square, Clock Tower, the (south) Lanes, North Laine, Jubilee Library, Kemptown. The route is 6.9 miles long (Critical Mass Brighton usually goes between 5 and 7 miles).

It would be a good idea to make stops along the route in case people want to take off more clothes. The best potential places for this are: the Peace Statue, the bottom of Fourth Avenue, Hove Town Hall and the Floral Clock (+ maybe New Road/Victoria Gardens?).

An alternative route may also need to be planned, in case of bad weather.

Eric's suggestions:

"Riding anticlockwise reduces the number of times you cross the traffic."
"Make sure that no other event/s are going to clash with your route on the same day."

Volunteers wanted: Ride Marshals/Stewards, Bike Mechanics

Post-ride event

As the ride finishes at the Kemptown Nudist Beach, a post-ride sea swim and beach picnic would be ideal for riders to wind down after the event.

Local companies could be found to endorse the ride by providing food.

Volunteers wanted: Post-Ride Event Organisers, people to find local companies willing to donate food and drink

Publicity

Flyers, posters, stickers etc

Printing

No posters or flyers currently available for the Brighton Naked Bike Ride!

Please print and distribute posters and flyers around Brighton & Hove, Sussex, London and the UK. Download PDF files from the Files section of the WNBR Brighton & Hove Yahoo! group site.

WNBR London have had postcards, business cards and fridge magnets printed for free, or very cheaply, at VistaPrint.

The Brighton Resource Centre has computers available for cheap printing and photocopying.

Can any printers offer to do a cheap/free print run? (Preferably using recycled paper and/or vegetable-based inks.)

Distribution

Suggested places to put flyers and posters:

On bikes (trap under brake levers/cables etc)
Bike racks at the train station, library, colleges and universities
Infinity Foods noticeboard
Brighton Fringe office window noticeboard
Café noticeboards (eg: Dumb Waiter, Sanctuary Café)
Shops (Brighton shops often accept A3 posters)

We could approach a company such as SWAT to help us?

Web links

A list of links related to this ride is maintained at the WNBR Brighton & Hove Yahoo! group.

If you know of any related sites that can link to us, please ask the site administrators to do this. The link text should be "Brighton Naked Bike Ride, UK", and the link URL should be www.worldnakedbikeride.org/brighton. To link to the global site, please use the link text "World Naked Bike Ride", and the URL www.worldnakedbikeride.org. Blurb:

Every year, in cities around the world, people will be riding naked to celebrate cycling and the human body. The ride demonstrates the vulnerability of cyclists on the road and is a protest against oil dependency. Be there, as bare as you dare!

Please also add related links to the Related Interest Groups section of the WNBR Brighton & Hove Yahoo! group.

The route is 6.9 miles long ([http://groups.yahoo.com/group/criticalmassbrighton/ Critical Mass Brighton] usually goes between 5 and 7 miles).
-This route was tested on 22 April 2006 by Nick, Tamsin, Mike, Miriam, Mandi and Ian. This proved very productive, with many issues being brought up. The main effect on the route was to turn in to Church Road at Fourth Avenue rather than Seafield Road (too far into Hove, difficult traffic!).
 It would be a good idea to make stops along the route in case people want to take off more clothes. The best potential places for this are: the [http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=529875&y=104163&z=2&ar=Y Peace Statue], the bottom of Fourth Avenue, Hove Town Hall and the [http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=529475&y=104615&z=2&ar=Y Floral Clock] (+ maybe New Road/Victoria Gardens?).
-Thoughts:
+An alternative route may also need to be planned, in case of bad weather.
-*Is this route too long?
-*Would it be better to avoid the Western Road bus lane?
-*It misses West Street – is there a way to include this?
