Bike Week update

Latest on Bike Week Details as follows:

• The Coffs Coast Community Rides are running as per every Saturday from City Square at 6:30am. On the 22nd Sept. the Bonville Sawtell Lions Club and the Xpresso Coffee van will be in the car park of the Bunker Gallery so that people can eat breakfast at the gallery and view the 19th Rotary National Cartoon Awards. This is a sneak preview of the exhibition which is due to open on the 29th Sept. It is also 1 year since the Coffs Coast Community Rides began, so we're hoping for a good turn out to celebrate.

• Toormina Public School and William Bayldon School are organising Big Bike Rides for their senior students during Bike Week (Tues and Thurs). John Gray from Coffs BUG has helped them organise the day which involved riding down to the Jetty and back. Students must have a road worthy bike. We will be encouraging them to get their bike checked at the Bike Fest on Sunday.
  
  
• Film night on Thursday 27th Sept. Arrangements are still being finalised, but hopefully there will be a showing of "The Flying Scotsman" at Sawtell Cinema.
