Hackney Cycling Campaign - event supporting email

An encouraging email has been sent out by one of Hackney's cycling dons; Trevor Parsons:

Date: Tue, 3 Apr 2012 02:36:19 +0100
Subject: [hackney-lcc] benefit for new cycling club in Clapton Park on Thursday

A new cycling club is being started in the Clapton Park area of
Homerton: http://claptonparkpedalbikeclub.blogspot.co.uk/

Keir Apperley of Interlinkx CIC, which is promoting the new club, says:
"Young people in the area love their bikes and are knowledgeable about
them. They've been asking for a club to be set up and now we're going to
do it."

Clapton Park Youth & Community Pedal Bike Club is kicking off with an
inaugural benefit and social night at the Glyn Arms on Thursday.

Keir adds: "It's free to get in. We'll put the bucket round, and it will
be good to raise some money, but the main point is to bring people
together and show support for the new club."

Interlinkx CIC is dedicated to breaking down territorial divisions
between young people. For several years it has run cycle maintenance
sessions on Nightingale and Fawcett estates.

Keir himself will be DJing, along with guests, and promises "rockin soul
jazzin beats global soundz funkin grooves classic noise", no less.

The night runs from 7pm to midnight this Thursday, 5th April 2012.

Glyn Arms
