In Fair Heeley People's Park 4 Goodgymers Cycling Celine, Mover Max, Acceleration Ash and Kinetic Kat met Heeley People's Park Rob to support this new green event: Romeo and Juliet movie night in Heeley People's Park powered by the legwork of c.20 cycles and rotating cyclists. As back-up crew our legs were there to be used for when power levels dropped and audience cycling participants needed a break.

Evening highlights included: - Inspirational Heeley community short films -Leonardo DiCaprio - what a great actor -spoke lights on the people powered bikes -friendly bike steward volunteers, event organisers and caterers, offering us cycling helpers vegan flapjack and popcorn :)

O what a night!

Rob is hoping to arrange another film event in Heeley People's Park in the future :)

I agree James! Inever thought I'd be described as Cycling Celine! As you can see from the photo, I was gasping after 5 minutes!

Great report! I didn't realise it was in a tent; I did think it was a bit of a gamble with the weather in March. I very much enjoy your flattering photo, Celine
