From the TRF - Mike Irving
We Still have a Protest on the 25th January.
The story so Far.........
We won a court Battle over Chapel Gate and it was reopened. Victory Greenlaners 1 : PDNPA 0
Peak Park Authority announced consultations to close it again Meeting on 25th Jan. Greenlaners 1 : PDNPA 1
We respond with protest at Aldern House
Peak Park Get Frightened so they move venue because they don't want us trampling their early daffodils as they did not have room. Victory Green Laners 2 : PDNPA 1
We respond by Protesting at the new venue as well as Aldern House
Peak Park still frightened take Chapel Gate off the menu and move venue back to Aldern House. Victory Greenlaners 3 : PDNPA 1
We respond by Protesting At Aldern House.
Who's doing the running and Who's doing the waiting...........CHECK MATE I CALL IT.
Do not get complacent Chaps....the Battle is only really getting started.
The PROTEST IS STILL ON for the 25th January.
We meet at 8.00am ( if you can make it) 9.00 latest on Friday 25th Jan 2013 at
Peak District National park Authority
Aldern House
Baslow Road
Bakewell
Derbyshire, DE45 1AE
Were we will be on the gate as employees and officials arrive for the ARP Meeting that is not going to talk about Chaple Gate. At 9.00 we will have a Rally with some chanting etc cumulating in the handing over of an open Letter once again explaining that we have the right to continue using the lanes but we are prepared to help in the management of those lanes for the benefit of all users.
We will be leaving around 10 when the meeting starts but rest assured some of our members will be at the meeting to make sure they do not try to sneak any ROW business through (Because our relationship with the PDNPA is such that we cannot trust them). We shall ride through Bakewell, abiding by the law and split up into smaller groups and disperse through out the Peak district spreading our message. Stopping at towns and villages and showing of our signs and giving out some leaflets and explaining what we are about. All through the Day there will be an Advertising Trailer being towed around the main urban area's with our Point clearly displayed.
After which you can get in a few trails....
As usual....Road legal vehicles, considerate riding/driving within the law of the road........don't hold too many people up for long...normal speeds.
See you all at Aldern House on Friday. Thankyou for your support.
