Make some NOISE!



Last months Mass was great fun in Liverpool. We had numbers, flashy lights, a good vibe, corking, apres-event and a few pissed off drivers (not intentional, just incidental). But we did lack some noise. I for one need to get a bell for my bike. It was actually supplied with one, but I took it off, thinking that bells weren't cool. How wrong could I be..............

So next month, lets make some noise!! Bring whistles, bells, hooters and horns, tambourines and sitars. Also remember your hi-vis and flashy lights, lets make this a real carnival on wheels, which can't be ignored or pushed into the gutter and lets inspire people to join the Light Side of the force.


LCM SOUNDSYSTEM


To help us on our way next month the LCM Soundsystem MkII will be unvieled, to inject some carnival beats. The only problem is that it ain't ready yet! We plan to be transpanting the Batteries and 12V Amp from the original LCM Soundsystem, wired up to new, more powerful speakers. The main challenge will be making this into a stable towable system.

If you can help out please email disrail@gmail.com for more info.

We will be holding two work days on Saturday 25th Oct and Sat 1st of November.....







October Ride Report

Octobers mass was great fun. There was a good turnout, with many new faces and old. The numbers really helped this month. The response from drivers was much more respectful and the Mass had a real presence on the road.


At one point, there was one hire cab driver that allowed the whole mass to manouvre in front of him as we changed lane to turn right, the massers waved and thanked him, and there was no bad feeling. Some other people were doing an excellent job corking aswell, allowing the mass to pass through junctions safely. See Liverpool Indymedia for more photos.

After , the film "We are Traffic" was shown in the Liverpool Social Centre, after much tea and delicious vegan soup.

Numbers have been looking good recently. Please make an effort to get out to the next one 14th November, and tell your friends.
