D. AUTUMN PUB MTG – unfortunately both ideas failed, so no full public meeting.   Possibly still an evening ‘seminar’ Nov 14 with Dutch speakers who are coming for Cycling Scotland conference – Ian still working on this - if so, to advertise to members by email, and also online [as for the ‘extra’ evening meeting a few years ago by Richard Armitage consultant].

E. TRAFFIC COUNT - nov 13 - Barbara organising

F. ORDERS - Weans on Wheels and Family cycling factsheets – decided to OK Katherine to order 2000 of each.
 
I. SHARED PATH FLYER – ‘topics’ version just preferred to ‘user-types’ version.   Will be printed in bulletin, plus 2000 extras as A5 flyers, printed at same time as Bulletin, so cost is low.
Also both versions to be put on website for the benefit of organisations elsewhere who might be considering doing their own local shared paths leaflets.

J. CANAL TOWPATH SHARING – David & Peter had met Helen Zealley, Merchiston CC, who will report back to the CC.   Ideas included a towpath leafleting session (maybe involving local school); and CC pressing for cycle facility improvements soon on adjacent roads.  [more detail in note of 27.9.12 meeting] 
 
K. COUNCIL/POLICE SAFETY CAR/BIKE CAMPAIGN + FYFE MONEY
See also note of 27.9.12 meeting.   Mies/David had met and discussed.  David investigating video idea – DdF comments sent to David and Mies – Ian Maxwell has some relevant experience / knowledge.   Mies looking into other possibilities such as leaflet-based.  Once ideas clarified, possible meeting with Fyffes to discuss preferred option or possibly alternatives.
