| Hey everyone. As mentioned last week after the side-splitting attendence of the Borough Market Meet; we're at capacity now with this event due to our growing popularity and are looking at new venues to hold our ever-growing and popular bike meet. Whilst we're doing this though I need to ask you all to help us out and change how we park at the BMM.
As you may or may not know, the yellow-hatchings area under the Market awnings is their property and they've requested that we don't park on it because they have constant deliveries through the night and have some other insurance concerns. We've tried for over a year to negotiate with them on this but they're not moving so we need to respect their wishes and not park on their property.
What we propose though is that there's a load of room unused as the road curves round to the left, which is Park Street. We should park there when there's no room, and also there's room just straight on and on the right side, next to the market. I've made a quick example below:
We really need every-one to chip in on this and help tell anyone that doesn't read this about not parking on the Market's hatchings and where they can park instead. It's all of our responsibility to ensure we look after our meet as if we don't, then quite simply we will lose it as the authorities clamp down on any complaints they receive about us. Those who know what happened to Chelsea Bridge and Frith Street/Soho will know the importance of this self-regulation. It only takes a quick word to point out a new parking position to someone that doesn't know. Please help us.
Some may ask that if we're looking for a new venue, what does it matter how we park at BMM. Who cares about the consequences? Well, firstly it's a matter of reputation. We have a brilliant track-record of causing no trouble where-ever we go, and we need to continue this so we don't have any problems when we choose a new venue, as the new residents may not know about us, but the authorities will! We need to make sure the LB name is synonymous with a great crowd of people who just want to have some fun and not bother anyone.
Sorry if this sounds a bit official, but as with anything of this size, there is a serious side that we all need to take responsibility for, and do for the most part. Please help us out tonight and the next few weeks.
Places to park in red:
· LB Stickers for your bike or gear, see here!
· Don't miss our regular Wednesday Night Meet at Borough Market!
