BARNET  FUNDS

Back in May we sent out an appeal for contributions to help keep the Barnet group going.

The response has helped but some, with very busy lives or other pressures weren’t able to respond then. We hope everyone can contribute around £10, as now, requesting different amounts depending on type of membership is no longer an option for us.

So please donate by direct bank transfer to London Cycling Campaign Barnet Branch (not just Barnet Cyclists) sort code: 60 83 01 account 20225687 with your name as reference.

Thank you for your support,   Peter R. treasurer.
