    Free workshop in Glasgow and Edinburgh for Event Organisers

    If you are trying to encourage people to get on their bikes, want to stage a cycling event in your local area, or want to create a fundraising event for charity then Bike Week is the perfect time to do it.

    Putting on an event during Bike Week means that your event benefits from a whole range of promotion and support measures, including

    - promotion as part of a nationally recognised week long festival of cycling
    - listing on the Bike Week website receiving hundreds of thousands of visits
    - free liability insurance
    - access to free posters, leaflets and giveaways
    - free event organiser’s guides to help plan your event

    Bike Week and Cycling Scotland are holding free workshops to help you plan your event:

    I will not be able to attend either date, some of us work, and unless I take the day off neither is suitable. However, that said, I will in all probability with one other take the traditional, annual, Ladies evening ride on Thursday 21st June (mid-summer's day this year) for the CTC. Starting from the Commonwealth Pool at 7pm for a couple of hours/15 miles or so.

    Yes, it would certainly be useful to have a workshop or two for organisers who also work. Not that that would be me, but it does seem slightly odd - I certainly would imagine they could get more workplaces involved if they had evening or weekend workshops that those people who want to run work events could attend!
