[publictransport] Stickers and Castlemaine update

[eve.merton at dcu.ie]

I had a quick look into getting stickers last week (I agree with Bethany
on the most appropriate logo for stickers -- the simplest one), but I only
got as far as finding out that they should be screen printed on vinyl so
that the ink doesn't fade. Many apologies -- Bethany would you like to contact
me to talk more about this?

At the MASG meeting in Castlemaine last night, people decided on a plan including:

1. A letter/email/face-to-face campaign targetting local politicians (local
councils, local members etc) all along the Bendigo line.

2. An invitation to V/Line to send a representative to the next meeting (some
of the people have contacts with V/Line, so this may be possible).

3. A local version of the protest action Wednesday week, aiming for at least
100 people at Castlemaine Station. Cardboard bikes and other fun actions
planned.

4. Use this campaign to springboard into a longer-term plan for integrated
transport in central Victoria and beyond.

After some debate, the majority view seemed to be that we should demand a
complete reversal of the ban first and then go on to negotiating some kind
of solution to integrated transport problems. (Please correct me if I'm wrong
about this Jill, I had to leave the meeting before it finished, so I may
have missed something.)
