First meeting for 2020 was an informal meeting over lunch at Queens Park. Healthy Families Play System Innovator, Cathy Jordan, joined us for lunch. Cathy attended the 3rd December meeting as a guest speaker, and spoke about biking opportunities and how we can enable all ages and abilities to share the love of riding a bike. Some of the members took up the challenge of biking to the Park for lunch.
