Along the Bath to Bristol Railway Path 10am-4pm (last start time is 2pm)
Families are invited to take part in a FREE cycling treasure
hunt to be in with a chance of winning a new bicycle.
There will be a free drink and snack for everyone who takes part
and refreshments will be available to buy along the way.
Turn up on the day and collect your clues card and further
details at any of the stalls at the locations along the route.
Using the map provided, the challenge is to find the sports related
clues along the route and mark them on the score card.
There is a choice of two routes on the Bristol to Bath Railway
Path between Staple Hill and Bath. Each route is approximately 4-5
miles long but if you'd like a better chance of winning or fancy a
longer ride you can do both routes. It's not a race but remember
the last start time is 2pm to make sure you are finished by
4pm.
At the end of the day, two completed cards will be pulled out of
the hat for each route. One lucky adult and one lucky child from
each challenge will win a new bicycle. A further 10 child runners
up will each win a cycle accessories voucher to be spent at a local
shop.
Active for Life / Get Active will donate £50 to the school and
brownie group with the most entrants.

The meeting will be chaired by Sam Holliday, Editor of the Bath Chronicle. Towards the end of the meeting he will summarise the key points emerging from the debate, and these will be posted on this website We will invite the appropriate bodies (the Council, the B&NES Initiative, the universities etc) to comment on these key points after the meeting, and will publish their responses online.
Further information about the Forum is available on the forum website (http://www.betterbath.org.uk). If you would like to speak at this meeting, please notify us (preferably via the website) with an indication of your interest, so that we can keep a note of the numbers interested and marshal your issues into a logical order. We will invite one of you to lead off on each issue.

Hi All -
I know this is short notice, but the Oxfam Bookshop have agreed to let us have a stall to collect signatures for the G8 petition in the bookshop on Saturday morning! This is a great opportunity to link with the shop and see if this sort of campaign works - it could form the basis of more campaigning throughout the year (and means we can campaign inside rather than outside which is good!).
Thee idea is that we will provide a table & postcards for people to sign to send a Wish to the G8 in Japan. The wishes will then be hung on a Japanese bamboo tree that will go in the window of the shop for the day.
I have the postcards, a tablecloth, the bamboo tree and string. I may be able to get a table, but it's a bit heavy, so if anyone has a light plastic table they can bring that'd be great!
We'll set up around 10 and then man the stall between 10 - 2 (depending on volunteer numbers). If you can help even for half an hour during this time that woudl be great. We only need 1 or 2 people onthe stall at any one time due to the size of the shop, but the more who can do it, the longer we can do it for and the more signatures we'll get!
Once we collect the signatures, we'll be sending a picture of the tree and a message to Beppu, Bath's partner city in Japan about the G8....
Hope to see some of you on Saturday!
Janine

It's easier to achieve than you think. Amazingly, if we all drove just
one less journey a week we'd reduce car traffic by 10%. Fancy giving it
a go? Swap any car trip between 30 June- 5 July and walk, cycle or take

Imagine a world with cleaner air, quieter streets and more space for kids (and big kids) to play.
It's easier to achieve than you think. Amazingly, if we all drove just
one less journey a week we'd reduce car traffic by 10%. Fancy giving it
a go? Swap any car trip between 30 June- 5 July and walk, cycle or take
public transport instead, or just don't make the trip at all.

On July 12th, the Green Companion will be launched in Bath, accompanied by a Sustainability Fair with stalls from a wide variety of local campaign groups in the area (http://greenbath.org/green-companion-launch-2008). Oxfam Bath have been offered a stall, and it would be great if we could be there to highlight Oxfam's latest campaigns, and see if we can get more people involved in campaigning within the Bath area!
The event runs from 11am - 2pm, and we need a few volunteers for an hour each to help man the stall. If you think you could give some time to help with this, do please email me on oxfambath@yahoo.co.uk - and I look forward to seeing some of you next Saturday!
