Two points[edit]

The Timeline of events section is too detailed. By the time this campaign concludes it will have streched to an inordinate length - brevity now is a better option than butchery later.

Also, the article states HOOF is an alliance of several pre-existing local organisations, including 'Dean Forest Voice', 'Friends of the Forest', the Forest of Dean History Society, forestry trade unions, The Forest & Wye Valley Review and Forester newspapers. does anyone know if the Cycle Club or Cannop Cycle Centre were invited to join? What will happen to the land currently used by the cycle centre?MTB UK (talk) 11:10, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I can't answer your first 'point', but I am certain that nothing will happen to the land currently used by the cycle centre, as the HOOF campaign will successfully prevent any sell off in the Forest. Obscurasky (talk) 19:01, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why wasnt the cycle rally better advertised. I would have loved to have joined this, but I didnt even know it was on — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lydney Lass (talk • contribs) 20:26, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
