Repeated Cycle Campaign info:

Do forward this newsletter to others who may be interested in joining, as we’d love to gain more members.
If you didn’t get this directly from us, see www.southamptoncyclingcampaign.org.uk/joinus-2/ to join for free.

Members are able to join our secure email list once you have attended a meeting, or if that is an issue an active member can vouch for you.
Before your first meeting, please email membership@southamptoncyclingcampaign.org.uk to get the zoom link.
You can join a working group, whose coordinators communicate with the SCC person who is designing the scheme/route. After each meeting we send a list of non-scheme-specific queries to Greg at SCC (Senior Transport Planner, Green City and Infrastructure). We’re constantly working on new lists and updates – so please do come along to our next zoom meeting and listen in or join a working group.
If you’re on twitter please share: @SotonCycling If you’re on fb please share: www.facebook.com/SotonCycling
If you don’t want to hear from us again, please email asking to be removed from the list. On the other hand, if you’d like to get more involved, please come along to our next meeting or contact us! Thanks!
