Please do support "THE RIDE" in Brighton on the
5th September 2015
For more information about the ride click here

The ride is only 2.8 miles and will be a fun ride to raise awareness of the campaign bring a whistle :-)
We meet inbetween the Brighton Pier and the big Wheel at 10am.
A litte bit more detail about the campaign
1. What is clear (sort of ) is that the Council does not have funds to support the track, but does have knowledge of grants etc which might be very useful.
2. To secure the support of the council for the essential work on the track we need to demonstrate that it is • Needed by the cycling community • Needed by the broader community of Brighton and Hove • Sustainable in the longer term
3. We have therefore been doing some investigations and discussions about ways forward. Broadly speaking what we are proposing is
Phase 1 • Make the case for the immediate refurbishment of the track; • obtain council support • seek funding/grants for the immediate work required • establish a Friends of Preston Park Cycle Track (building on the existing Save Preston Park Track campaign)
Phase 2Establish a Trust to manage the track and facilities longer term – this would need to include representation from all interested parties but over time might expand or include other groups who can support the ongoing management of the facilities • Tennis, cricket and cycling clubs • British cycling • Local Council • Other professionals with relevant skills such as lawyers, architects, schools managers, parents groups, marketing people etc
4. In terms of further developments, once the agreement is reached to support the essential work on the track fence and resurfacing the other developments could be phased in gradually, for example
• Outer perimeter fence • Low level lights for track • New stadium and facilities building which could include • Showers and loos • Small kitchen/urn facility • Changing rooms • Viewing area – covered for the rain/shade • Rooms – club meeting rooms/classroom for schools /party venue HUB of cycling • Bike storage and/or bike hire (not just track bikes but also road bikes etc) • Café – franchise of Velo Café for tennis/cricket /other park users
5. This can be done – we have been talking with the Trust for the Track at Herne Hill which manages the track and there is also a Friends of Herne Hill which fund raises etc. Lots of things have been tried using promotional events, advertising (banners around the track), corporate events and open events as well as grants.
6. What we need from you is any of the following • Expressions of support for this as a way forward • Alternatives if you do not support this way forward • Suggestions of ways to raise public awareness/gain support (in addition to proposed Ride on 5th September - hope you are all signed up for that) if you need more details about the ride Click here
• Ideas for organisations/grant giving bodies who may fund part of the essential and/or longer term work • Fund raising ideas for both the short and long term • Volunteers to be part of the Friends of Preston Park Track • Volunteers or suggestions of people who could form the initial Trust for management of the Track/facilities
Without your support this will not happen. With your support and a lot of hard work we could have a track and facilities to be proud of.
Look forward to hearing from you and do please circulate this crowd funding information as widely as possible.
Yours in Sport
