Dear <<First Name>>!

In this mail, we’re going to ask just 2 things of you, and if you are as determined as we are to see not only an end to Westminster Motorcycle Parking Tax, but to also ensure that no other Council wants to emulate them, then you will have no problem in rallying to our call.

Before that, some Important news about the WMBC

Due to the prohibitive costs incurred in sending SMS Text messages, and, with over 1,000 registered and attendance at any one WMBC yet to hit 100+ (near, but not yet 100), we have decided to implement the following change. As Trafalgar Square is such a potent place to demonstrate our message, from now on all meetings of WMBC will be at 7.30 am at Costa in Villiers Street WC2N (Map). Alerts to the 1,000+ registered will be by email the day before, although this will be purely a reminder:

Our 2 requests:-

Donate The Final Fifties

Last time/week we launched our "Final Fifties" – why "Final"?, because this should be the last time you will need to donate money. Why £50′s?, because we NEED (emphasis on "NEED") to raise the final £30,000 and an incredible benefactor has agreed to match any £50 donation. We need it to ensure the epic showdown Court Case scheduled for 24 June goes ahead. Thus, with 300 donations of £50 needed, the list rapidly broke through the 50 number last Friday (view list of donators here), including, I am delighted to report, over 70% of all old & new committee members donating their £50′s. Unfortunately, even with over 200+ regularly contributing to our forum, only a fraction seem to have donated, even though there is regular mentions of it. Guys, we’ve come so far down the road together, it would be criminal if we fell now at the very last hurdle. PLEASE, make those donations. Full details here.

Join us on Saturday June 19th – Mega Demo around the M25.

The bit so many of you have been waiting for. We can now release the estimated timings for our passing each of the 31 junctions (including the 3 Services Stations at which there will be a 20 minute break). Please go to (Junction and meeting places for the demo) and please, CHOOSE YOUR JUNCTION, or meet us at THE ACE CAFE !!

Guys, if we are to get anything near the sort of number we need to make this the spectacular ride-out we need, promoting it is really down to you. Tell your friends. Get your club to join in. Go on the other motorcycle forums and either post a new thread about the M25 Ride-out, or, if there, post your comments as this will take the thread to the top of the pile in most cases. Add comments to articles in the Motorcycle on-line press and make sure you mention 19th June therein. etc, etc.

SUMMARY - Donate & Join the Mega-Demo on 19th June to show WCC (a) the true depth of revulsion by so many, (b) all other Councils – leave the riders alone.

See you then

Hello <<Last Name>>,

Our message this week is by far and away the most important of the campaign to date, with 3 of the most prolific announcements, for which we ask for your careful attention:-

• 1) The High Court names the day!
• 2) The "Final Fifties"
• 3) The Mother of All Demos

Hot on the heels of a hugely well-attended weekend demo, where over 500 of you joined us to disperse leaflets all over WCC Leader (Photos – Video 1, Video 2), Colin Barrow’s ward in an attempt to alert the electorate to the character of the man they chose last time round, and as we prepare to repeat it on Wednesday evening when the WESC has its second outing (5th May 2010 sign up for free SMS location alert here), with Cllr Chalkley’s ward the final destination, we write with 3 of the biggest pieces of news to date.

The High Court Names The Day!

Finally, and following many hours of preparation and filing of claims & witness statements, these only made possible with the incredible donations so far, we have been alerted by the High Court that "our day in Court" has been listed for:

Thursday 24th June 2010

We will hopefully be furnished with more details regarding viewing galleries and waiting areas in the Court near the time. Whilst many of you will relish viewing the proceedings, we would also encourage as many of you as possible to help fill the Strand outside the Court in a display of solidarity with those inside.

The main element of this news is that the campaign against the blatant attack on the least demanding group of road-users is that an end is in sight. Win or lose, we will have given the biggest Council in the country one helluva bloody-nose, whilst exposing the more dubious aspect of their behaviour regarding the way they look after their own, and their pals that provide private services to the Council, with the residents and rate-payers’ interests way down the priority list. And that is purely down to what has been described by many as the most dynamic campaigns ever witnessed in the UK, and certainly, contrary to what they might try and con the press into believing, absolutely like nothing this council has ever experienced.

The "Final Fifties" – the last time we ask you for money!!

Whilst we have been encouraging you to donate when you can, the plain truth is that, to see the job comfortably through, we need to raise not only the remaining £20k, but an additional £10k on top. However, we are delighted to announce that we have been given the most tremendously philanthropic gesture. A regular supporter, who wishes to remain anonymous has promised to MATCH any donation of £50 (or multiples thereof), be it from individuals, groups, friends, clubs whoever. Therefore, whilst we now seek donations of £50, you can rest assured that this will be the FINAL donation we will need ask of you. And with this incredible offer, the number of donations of £50 has now halved.

We will display a table which we have aptly named the "Final Fifties" and the list will comprise 300 slots. For you to enter your name (or that of your group/club/company etc.) and let’s get those filled asap by completing the NEW "Final Fifties Donations" located on this page and follow the instructions there.

For the majority of you who would find £50 way out of reach, don’t despair – you can still donate what you can, and it will added to a collection pot known as "Friends of NTBPT" and whenever that fund passes £50, it too will be added to the 300 list.

And finally, the announcement that got the biggest cheer at our demo last Saturday!!…the mother of all ride-outs.

On Saturday 19th June, we shall ride for one complete lap of the M25 (117 miles) in the inaugural "London – the long way round" Parade, Once this is primarily for the thousands of you who want be able to attend the hearing days which are during the working week in the centre of London, and whilst we appreciate that many smaller cc machines would be excluded, there are 3 other powerful, and highly symbolic reasons:-

• a) to really show everyone that still sides with the robber-barons of Westminster Council, as well as the law-makers and the Court the true extent of the "army" of malcontents circling and surrounding the Metropolis
• b) to send a clear signal to all the other London (and non-London) councils that may be tempted to follow Westminster’s lead
• c) to show that the bikers are reforming as in days of old to once again become one of the most powerful lobbying groups in the UK.

Starting at the M40 junction, we will ride clockwise around the M25 hopefully being joined by you & bikers from all over the country at your/their preferred junction. As we intend to cruise at a safe 45mph, we will post estimated times that we anticipate to be passing each junction, and we will be making full 15 minute pit-stop at each of the service stations to allow re-fuels; leg-stretches; bum-reviving etc but more crucially, a chance to pick up other riders safely. Please take note that this inaugural run will be unashamedly fund-raising for the legal fund by asking anyone joining us to contribute £5. We intend to use these as the official count for the numbers that attended, so, should you ride but not contribute, alas, you won’t be counted!

We hope to be able to offer both "I was there" t-shirts and commemorative hi-viz’s in the run-up to June 19th, but the main emphasis will be on encouraging you all to become OUR promotional department. We really need to you pass the word to make this ride-out, even though its the first time, one of the best attended.

Friends, the end of our "journey" together may well be in sight, so please help us in this our final furlongs to ensure that our legacy is permanently etched in the minds of the bureaucrats lest they ever want to challenge the biking community again. And whatever may befall the campaign, lets hope the "London – the long way round" becomes and annual charity event that keeps that legacy alive.

See as many of you as possible at either, or both Wednesday’s WMBC & WESC on 5th May 2010 (Reg for free SMS location alert here)

Hello <<First Name>>,

Tomorrow (Sat, 1st May) is the first MEGA DEMO for a while, this is a little reminder, that it is still on and we mean business!

Logistics (Maps & meeting points)

We have 2 meeting points, and if any of you have been on one of our demonstration rides before you will recognise them. We usually meet at the Ace Cafe before a demo to stock up ours stomachs and give us some energy for the task and ride ahead, tomorrows first meeting point is the Ace we ask you to arrive between 9:30am-10:00am for a 10:30am depart from the Ace.. we will then ride in to Central London.

For those that cannot make the Ace Cafe.. there is a second meeting point again, previous demo riders will be familiar with it.. it is an old haunt of ours.. Park Land Underground Car Park for 11:30am. If you do not know where that is here is a little map to help (NOTE: Wait for it to load, it will show both meeting points) however it is just of Park Lane and there are lots of signs, plus look out for the riders!

NOTE: Please bring BLU-TAC and/or sticky tape, it WILL be needed!

In other news

Council Leader tries to get an injunction against the campaign ahead of this Saturdays demonstration, but he FAILS. Read letter from his lawyers and the campaigns response. Even more reason to be at the demonstration tomorrow, these fat cats in Westminster City Hall, treat us like cash cows and then think they can gag us with money… no way, we will not let that happen!

Wednesday Morning Breakfast Clubs going from strength to strength

A time to thank all those riders that attend the early Wednesday Morning Breakfast Clubs, they are spreading our message further to the wider public and exposing Westminster City Council, Councillors Chalkley, Barrow and the parking department for what they are.. crooks, who use all of us at cash cows, we are the only ones standing up to them, let’s keep it up! Great work to those that make it every Wednesday. For a gallery of photos from the past meets, check this page. And for the leaflet that we are handing out to all car drivers, passers by and anyone else that takes one… here it is, we think it is very effective!

High Court Date Given to us!

The date of our High Court case has been given to us, we will announce the full details soon, but it is not for a few months from now, but this is great news and thanks for all the donations so far, we really will get Westminster Council in the dock eventually! All other legal democratic means have failed, remember the 8,000+ written objections, ignored.. no more people.. let’s keep the fight going, they cannot sit in their tower for any longer.

Thanks for the continued support as always! Keep spreading the word!

More details at our website and Facebook page.

Dear <<First Name>>!

We have one major date to share with you, short and sweet, aside from our regular Wednesday Morning Breakfast Club, this Weekend Demo-ride will appeal to those further outside of London too, who would like to show their support.

NTBPT – Mega Demo – Saturday, 1st May 2010

Meet at Ace Cafe between 9:30am-10am for 10.30am departure – ride-out to Park Lane Underground Car Park for 11.30am departure (this is where we will meet those riders that cannot make it to the Ace Cafe, if you are one of those, please be at Park Lane Underground Car Park between 11am-11:30am – from Park Lane Car park we will ride-out around Marble Arch and via Lancaster Gate to Eastbourne Terrace.

As those of you who joined us on our largest demo last March where we attended a Westminster City Council Scrutiny Committee meeting, at which over 4,000 bikers amassed outside, the WCC Councillors showed their utter contempt for anyone that opposes them by making it clearly known that they can do as they please. People like us get to decide at local elections only, so they said…

The local elections are now here, and we intend to fully ram home those sentiments by exploiting the ignorance shown by the public toward voting for an individual, choosing rather to vote for the political party that candidate claims to represent.

On May 1st, from the Ace Cafe, we will descend on the electoral ward of the Westminster City Council Leader, Tory-party candidate Colin Barrow with a simple message that we hope to pin on every tree, lamp-post, car-windscreen and through every letterbox:

"Voting Tory? these are the only names you need" after which will be the other 2 Tory Candidate names. On the reverse of the leaflet will be an explanation as to why they should NOT vote for Colin Barrow.

Every politico we have spoken to has confirmed that, for any candidate, it is bad enough to be slated by opposing candidate who are trying to get elected ahead of you. But to be directly slated by others who are NOT standing would be devastating.

So, for those of you who can’t for logistical reasons attend or Wednesday Morning demos (which are proving very effective and the numbers keep on increasing, vid here from latest one), and are itching to get back on either a weekend or evening demo, then this is for you, and if you really want to put the final nails in the coffin of this vile tax, then you simply must help us ensure that, as a group, bikers can combine, when attacked, to oust those pretenders who think that the position of being able to decide our way of life is a privilege and not a right. A what better "pretender" to attack than none other than Westminster City Council Leader Colin Barrow. Should any of you feel any compassion for this rogue, you may like to know that multi-millionaire hedge fund manager Colin had no qualms in bankrupting one of his hedge fund companies called Eiger Capital owing Westminster Council (which he leads) a staggering £20k of unpaid business rates, the tab for which is being picked up by…guess who? Worry not for poor Colin though, of course he had another hedge fund company called Alpha Strategic with his partner, Kit Malthouse who chairs the Met Police Association in his spare time!!

If you can’t make it, you still can be of great assistance by promoting this event on all the other motorcycling forums that so many of you frequent. Be it your local club forum, or general biking forums, or even one of the many run by the on-line magazines, please make sure that you, and thus others are talking about May 1st.

Map of route for the 1st May 2010 demo-ride

For full details, please visit the website – http://notobikeparkingtax.com

Important.. the next demo-ride!

Following this demo, we intend to repeat the process on Wednesday May 5th, and the target will be Cllr Danny Chalkley – no introduction needed for this delightful fellow.

NB: The NTBPT Campaign is fully supported by both the BMF and the MAG

Dear <<First Name>>,

Not our usual newsletter, but a most important list of events happening related to the NTBPT Campaign triggered mainly by the General & Local Elections, at which people or we could say rider power is at its most potent, and thus NTBPT should be present. We have rated each event with up to 5 stars to indicate how important your support is for each.

**** – Monday 19th April – 7.30pm at Hein Gericke, 320 Clapham Road, Stockwell, London SW9 9AE

The event will be in the style of BBC question time and will have representatives from the 3 main parties as well as 2 other panelists (1 of the panelists will be Crossroads Rider himself) and a chair. Motorcyclists should come along and ask questions of these people to encourage them to think more about motorcyclists if they get elected. Let’s have a show of rider force at this event and you can get your messages direct and the next possibly MP’s let’s make them aware that we will not roll over to any potential future decisions they make regarding motorcycling in London.

** – Tuesday 20th April – 7pm, Westminster City Hall, 64 Victoria St, London, SW1

This EMERGENCY seating of the WCC Built & Environment Scrutiny Committee (Remember them and their farcical meeting last year, vid here?) has been called in the wake of the Parking Enforcement Contract Award debacle for which WCC is now being sued for £50m by APCOA. Should be fascinating for any of you that have been following the investigations into how the incumbent NSL Ltd simply assumed these contracts back in 2007, let’s remind them that we wil keep digging, let’s not let them have this meeing alone.. it is a public meeting after all!.

**** – Wednesday 21st April, 7.30am WMBC at venue TBA

Register here for SMS text message.

**** – Wednesday 28th April, 7.30am WMBC at venue TBA

Register here for SMS text message.

*** – Wednesday 28th April – 8pm, Full Westminster City Council Meeting, Venue TBA

At the full Council Meeting, Cllr Dimoldenberg will be tabling a motion for a full independent inquiry into WCC’s parking policies following a “catalogue of financial disasters, unpopular policy decisions and legal blunders”. These meetings are viewable from the public gallery and the last time NTBPT attended, our presence in utter silence was powerfully felt.

***** – Saturday 1st May – Midday ride-out (start TBA) to Chalkley & Barrow’s Ward (MEGA DEMO!)

Our first weekend demo for a while, a not before time according to you out-of-towners who can’t get to WMBC or WESC. As phase 1 of our "negative electioneering" campaign, we will take to the street to affix leaflets to shop windows, residents’ cars and through letterboxes with a simple message "By all means Vote Tory, BUT NOT THIS ONE. There are 2 others standing, called …… & …….. Sometimes the word "con" after their name means exactly that – a con." To have another group promotong themselves by down-playing you as a candidate is a bad enough prospect. When that group is NOT selling themselves, just down-playing you – that’s crucifying. Ask and candidate. PLEASE MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO JOIN US FOR A MASSIVE SHOW OF RIDER FORCE BEFORE THE ELECTION, LET’S REMIND THEM THAT RIDERS ARE VOETERS!

***** – Wednesday 5th May – WESC followed by ride-out to Chalkley & Barrow’s Ward

The second gathering of the WESC is also phase 2 of our "negative electioneering" campaign. More leaflets through letterboxes.

*********** – Thursday 6th May – Election Day

VOLUNTEERS are urgently required to leaflet the electorate against voting for Chalkley & Barrow. NB, by law, we cannot be within 250m of the Polling Station. But whatever happens we need to kick these guys out of Westminster City Hall, they decided to tax us to park, let’s show them that we will not let them get way with it so easily.

All the best,

Warren and the NTBPT Committee

Not our usual newsletter, but a most important list of events happening related to the NTBPT Campaign triggered mainly by the General & Local Elections, at which people or we could say rider power is at its most potent, and thus NTBPT should be present. We have rated each event with up to 5 stars to indicate how important your support is for each.

**** – Monday 19th April – 7.30pm at Hein Gericke, 320 Clapham Road, Stockwell, London SW9 9AE

The event will be in the style of BBC question time and will have representatives from the 3 main parties as well as 2 other panelists (1 of the panelists will be Crossroads Rider himself) and a chair. Motorcyclists should come along and ask questions of these people to encourage them to think more about motorcyclists if they get elected. Let’s have a show of rider force at this event and you can get your messages direct and the next possibly MP’s let’s make them aware that we will not roll over to any potential future decisions they make regarding motorcycling in London.

** – Tuesday 20th April – 7pm, Westminster City Hall, 64 Victoria St, London, SW1

This EMERGENCY seating of the WCC Built & Environment Scrutiny Committee (Remember them and their farcical meeting last year, vid here?) has been called in the wake of the Parking Enforcement Contract Award debacle for which WCC is now being sued for £50m by APCOA. Should be fascinating for any of you that have been following the investigations into how the incumbent NSL Ltd simply assumed these contracts back in 2007, let’s remind them that we wil keep digging, let’s not let them have this meeing alone.. it is a public meeting after all!.

**** – Wednesday 21st April, 7.30am WMBC at venue TBA

*** – Wednesday 28th April – 8pm, Full Westminster City Council Meeting, Venue TBA

At the full Council Meeting, Cllr Dimoldenberg will be tabling a motion for a full independent inquiry into WCC’s parking policies following a “catalogue of financial disasters, unpopular policy decisions and legal blunders”. These meetings are viewable from the public gallery and the last time NTBPT attended, our presence in utter silence was powerfully felt.

***** – Saturday 1st May – Midday ride-out (start TBA) to Chalkley & Barrow’s Ward (MEGA DEMO!)

Our first weekend demo for a while, a not before time according to you out-of-towners who can’t get to WMBC or WESC. As phase 1 of our "negative electioneering" campaign, we will take to the street to affix leaflets to shop windows, residents’ cars and through letterboxes with a simple message "By all means Vote Tory, BUT NOT THIS ONE. There are 2 others standing, called …… & …….. Sometimes the word "con" after their name means exactly that – a con." To have another group promotong themselves by down-playing you as a candidate is a bad enough prospect. When that group is NOT selling themselves, just down-playing you – that’s crucifying. Ask and candidate. PLEASE MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO JOIN US FOR A MASSIVE SHOW OF RIDER FORCE BEFORE THE ELECTION, LET’S REMIND THEM THAT RIDERS ARE VOETERS!

***** – Wednesday 5th May – WESC followed by ride-out to Chalkley & Barrow’s Ward

The second gathering of the WESC is also phase 2 of our "negative electioneering" campaign. More leaflets through letterboxes.

*********** – Thursday 6th May – Election Day

VOLUNTEERS are urgently required to leaflet the electorate against voting for Chalkley & Barrow. NB, by law, we cannot be within 250m of the Polling Station. But whatever happens we need to kick these guys out of Westminster City Hall, they decided to tax us to park, let’s show them that we will not let them get way with it so easily.

All the best,

Warren and the NTBPT Committee
