| Dear <<First Name>> <<Last Name>>,
In this email:
- Sponsorship for the next demo.
- Purpose & results of our demos.
- Cab drivers take a leaf out of our book.
- Publicly issued documents from WCC regarding the tax.
Sponsorship for the next demo.
 Reminder that the next demo will be on Tuesday 9th June 09, which we can assure will be far better marshalled, controlled, publicised and far more detailed on our website. With a much shorter route allowing for the group to stay together and, where applicable be able to see each other by passing in opposite directions of the same road. More details as they become available. Also, the start and finish times will be better coordinated for Press coverage.
 To give emphasis to the end of the demo, it has been suggested that a basic form of catering be provided, if time allows to co-ordinate the same. Should you company or organisation wish to make a donation to a catering fund to provide water/soft drinks and maybe a few burgers, please let admin@notobikeparkingfees.com know asap.
Purpose & results of our demos.
As mentioned, the fact that we are now getting numbers up in the thousands when we protest, we are getting far more media interest, even if the stories about our campaign are not yet getting lineage in the main papers. Its only a matter of time, and with a couple of journo’s asking for personal interviews, we will soon be getting our message over. In the meantime, the best way of viewing our demos is as major PR exercises.
Cab drivers take a leaf out of our book.
 We have been asked to support a picket of Westminster City Hall on Weds, 20th May at 2.30pm by London Cab drivers who are also angry at……Danny Chalkley & Martin Low. As a campaign, it would be useful if as many of us can join them in a show of solidarity, since, the more campaigns against this tyrant, the more the public will be inclined to listen to our arguments. An additional benefit would be thereafter enlisting their support for our demos.
For more details on their picket and to show your support, you can contact Brian Whitehead at b.whitehead@rmt.org.uk the London rep for RMT.
Publicly issued documents from WCC.
You will see from the list of documents recently published on the Westminster City Council website that Danny Chalkley, unsurprisingly is pushing hard to make his tax permanent, and we cannot assure you enough that this changes absolutely nothing as far as we are concerned, since scrapping it then will be no more difficult than now.
The 11th May demo video report & fliers for next demo.
 Our man in the studio is busy editing all the footage from the 11th May demo, there is a lot to pack in, he juggles 500 jobs we tell you  the video will be on-line soon for all to view, we will let you all know once this is the case. The same goes for our designer, he is busy drafting up the next set of fliers for Tues, 9th June for you to all print off and get distributing, again these will be on-line soon, we will keep you informed! Campaigning is a busy job we tell thee! But without you guys out there we would be no where, so thanks again for your continued support.
Keep on the spreading the word, the message is getting through.
