Cardrona pump track - your votes neededWe need to get as many votes for this as possible. The plans look sick! Cardrona is between Glentress and Innerleithen, this would be huge asset for locals and visitors. Anyway... here's the info" I am sure you will be pleased to hear that the Cardrona Pump n’Jump Project which I have discussed with you earlier this year has now made it to the final stages of the Peoples Millions, Big Lottery funding. ITV1 Border will produce a short 2 minute film to be shown on the Evening News programme on Tues 24th November. We will be going head to head against the Border Curling Development Club in a vote off. The project with the highest number of telephone votes will get the funding it is looking for. Voting can take place any time during the day from 9am until 12 midnight. The number to ring to vote will only be released on the day. Each supporter can vote 10 times at a cost of 10p per call so for £1, you can help us get the most votes, secure the funding to enable us to build the track Jan/Feb 2010. The track will be open for everyone to benefit so we need your support. There are a number of ways in which supporters can keep in touch with developments in the build up to the 24th. They can go to the Peoples Millions website and view the project at http://www.peoplesmillions.org.uk...ojects/cardrona-pump-n-jump-track They can go to our page on Facebook and become a fan. That way, we can easily broadcast the number to vote on 24th Nov when it becomes available. http://www.facebook.com/cardrona%20pump%20n'jump#/pages/Cardrona-Mains-United-Kingdom/Cardrona-Pump-nJump-Track/139517814173?ref=ts The project can also be followed daily on Twitter at www.twitter.com/cardronapandj Can you please forward this on to as many contacts as you can. I would like to develop a viral campaign over the coming weeks so that we have a very large network on supporters on board by 24th when we all need to vote." |

Looks nuts! Could be some collisions if there's enough people going round at once

Great plan! Sounds like a really good cause; definitely worth supporting. Good to see biking 'getting out there' more! |
