DEE DAYS 20/21 NOVEMBER 2004
Fair Access to Rivers.
We will be organising a weekend event in Llangollen to highlight the lack of river access.
The aim is to make the public aware of the current national access situation and the damage that it is doing to both the tourism economy and canoe sport as a whole. It is hoped that this issue is of such importance to canoeists that we get the largest number of participants in one place ever! We are looking to get full media coverage of the event and to make a major positive impact on the public perception of the problem.
The timetable is:
Saturday, Free Fun Rodeo Event, plus a cardboard boat stopper ride at
Mile End Mill. (Entries in by 12pm on the day.)
(We are also looking for somebody to organise a floodlit slalom on Sat eve 20th November. Let us know if you can help? Enter by 2pm on the day.)
Saturday, Evening Party, Mile End Mill.
Sunday 11am-1pm Official Protest March in Llangollen Town Starts outside the Eisteddfod (International Pavilion) 11am.
Bring your banners, have your say!
Access to the event/party and the Mile End Mill site is free all weekend.
Please be aware that there will be a large police and parking warden presence in town for this weekend. There is parking at Mile End Mill for the events there. Extra parking has also been organised at the Smurfit factory 200 meters from the Mill and at the Eisteddfod International Pavilion. Please park considerately as we are not the only users on this weekend. Please do not enter the factory yard at Smurfits.
Please remember we are trying to make a major positive impact on the access problem. Please mail this on to your local media and anybody you think may be interested, they do not need to be canoeists to help with our problem and support us. Above all have a great weekend!
