Critical mass is not organised by an individual, neither will it be run by a minority. But by the under current of murmerings of several this date arose. However should this not be convenient for many another day can be added to our gathering of all things critical mass(y). There are many people from many groups and many areas who make up a critical mass, through the forum we can reassure ourselves through consensus of how to keep safe and happy on the roads. Or even discuss how we embrace the chaos! So even if you reject the idea of a pre-mass gathering, come along and be the voice of the mass.
Suggested areas of thought are safety, numbers, ethos, routes, communication, leaflets and how to increase fun (or seriousness depending on view point!). And underlying this is the thought of whether any of these need to be discussed or organised at all etc..
This wont be a strict meeting, there will be no chair person and there will be no heirachy. It's our first chance to get to know one another and get a feeling of the views and opinions of all individuals. Anybody can and should speak here!
Also you can spread the word of critical mass by printing off the flyers that have been posted on indymedia. These are soon to be updated if they have not already been. Cut em up and tape them in loops around handlebars. http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/nottinghamshire/2005/11/328243.html

I hope you can all make it and pass this on to anyone who would be interested. Everyone is welcome even if you have never been on a critical mass!
