During September 2008 a group of about 30 CYCLe members went for the weekend at quorn hall Loughborough. All of this was in the name of training and having a laugh while we were at it. We spent the weekend taking part in activities such as; dwarfs wizards and giants, skinning of the snake, the pulse and getting to know you games and exercises. But most importantly of all we got some important work done, Voxpop 2009 planning is started all of the other CYCLe Subgroups have continued to plan their areas. An excellent and productive weekend was had by all.

Hi all,
Good news, we've started to move forward with our priorities that came out of the Vox Pop.....

On Saturday 1st March 2008, 66 young people from across Leicestershire gathered at County Hall, Glenfield to identify CYCLe's priorities for the coming year and to grill the county's decision makers.

The March meeting dates for CYCLe can be found on the Meetings page. These have been brought forward a week from the normal to avoid the Easter break.

On Monday 22nd - Wed 24th August members of youth councils and attended a residential at Quorn Hall. There was four main aims/targets for the resi which were; start filming for a publicity DVD, the jitty, Vox pop and the HBYC youth conference. It went well with all the tasks progressing. The residential also included a number of ice-breakers helping members to know each other better.
