The February 1st 2009 meeting of TBUG supporters agreed to endorse the 2009 draft action plan.
As well, TBUG has now become TRBUG. In line with the expanded council region, Toowoomba Bicycle Users Group has become the Toowoomba Region Bicycle Users Group, or TRBUG.
For ease of operation the email will remain the same.
The 2009 plan is now:
TRBUG fully endorses the Cycle Promotion Fund report “Getting Australia Moving”:
