Almost 500 supporters

On Saturday 18th November members of TACC held another supporter recruitment day. The day exceeded all expectations and a further 89 new supporters were signed up.

Again it was great to hear from local residents, not only from those who cycle but also from non-cyclists who understand the need to encourage cycling in and around the town, who support the aims of TACC.More TACC supporters were registered in November 2017.

Our supporter base now stands at 493 supporters which is just seven short of our 500 signed up supporters by Christmas target; a big well done to all those involved!

More TACC supporters added

On Thursday 9th November TACC held another supporter drive to increase numbers towards our goal of five hundred by Christmas. Despite a dull, drizzly day another 61 supporters were signed up.

Another supporter signed up with TACC

It is really encouraging the way many people relate to what we are talking about, and put forward their own ideas.
Our supporter base now heads towards the four hundred mark so we still have some work to do.

To that end further drives are planned for Saturday 18th November outside Monsoon in Taunton town centre and Sunday 3rd December along the Obridge link by the bridge over the canal and French Weir.

70+ New Supporters for TACC!

On Taunton Farmer’s Market Day, Thursday 12th October, members of the TACC Communications Committee held another ‘sign up TACC supporters’ campaign. After a tricky start, when we were moved on from the pitch photographed above to a spot outside Monsoon which actually proved advantageous, we had a steady flow of interest throughout the day. Without exception people were very interested in TACC’s aims and were very willing to become supporters.
TACC gained 70 more members in autumn campaign.

We also took the opportunity to raise the Firepool ‘Boulevard’ Taunton railway station to the town centre proposal which currently has no provision for cyclists and again people were very keen to express their concerns by signing the petition.

Finally a subject which concerns many cyclists who take to our busy roads – ‘did that motorist actually see me?!’ – was highlighted by giving out the hotline contact details of the Report a near miss campaign run by the Avon and Somerset Constabulary.

All in all a very successful day with over 70 new TACC supporters signed up … still some way to go before our goal of 500 supporters is reached so please explain our aims and continue to sign up new supporters whenever you can.
