Just got this email from the leader of Fylde Borough council;
'May I introduce myself. My name is Councillor John Coombes and am the leader of Fylde Borough Council, situated on the Fylde coast between Preston and Blackpool. As a committed biker I would like to start an authority backed weekly motorcycle meet in the town centre of St.Annes. St.Annes square has undergone a massive investment which has improved parking and attracted many restaurants, pubs and cafes to the centre of this little sea side resort. What it needs now is some activity on a monday evening. It is hoped that if this event becomes well supported we will be able to ask many local traders to offer speacial deals and discounts on food/drink for visiting groups.
I feel that the NW coast needs another regular meet that could enable the Council to promote its traders event. Many of you may know about a similar meet in Poole, Dorset, which attracts over 1500 (MCN) riders every week. This will hopefull lead to motorcycle groups, organisations and dealers coming along to promote biking, The meeting place will be the town centre car parks (free) on St.Annes Road West/jnc of Orchard St. The square, St.Annes on Sea. Lancs.
The run into Pylde, whether from North, East or South has excellent road links combining country lanes, dual carriageway and Motorway (M55).
This first meet/event is scheduled for Monday 13th. June (and every monday)How many invitations to bikers do we get from a senior (Local) Politician.
This man deserves our support. What do yout think? Anyone up for it?
