This is an informal group who have met twice a year in previous years. It is made up from representatives of the cycle campaign groups from the East Midlands. Regularly attendees are from Derby, Nottingham, Leicester, Lincoln, Chesterfield and Loughborough. Anyone is welcome to attend the forums meetings. To date they have all been run to the same format, speakers and discussion of local and regional cycling issues in the morning, lunch with time for discussion followed by a ride around the host town or city to look at their cycle infrastructure.
The previous meetings have been held in Derby, Nottingham and Leicester. Chesterfield hosted its first meeting in the Spring of 2008 and the latest meeting was held in Lincoln in October 2008. At this latest meeting it was decided that meetings will only take place once a year but that members of the Forum will meet less formally at cycling occasions. Unfortunately no meeting was held in 2009. Nottingham will host a meeting during 2010.
From this Forum has sprung a working group with East Midland Trains. This group had its first meeting in January 2008 and tried to organise a yearly meeting with EMT. Unfortunately no meeting took place in 2009.
