Since Spring 2018, by standing outside the theatre with a clipboard (thank you Richard, Jean, Judy and Ags), by having stalls at Summer festivals (thank you Sally) and farmers markets (thank you Alison and Paul), and via an online petition (thank you Maggie and Phil) we’ve collected and collated over 3,500 petition signatures (thank you Linda).
Few will have seen us in the winter months but as spring returns, it’s time to collect a lot more. We’ve not been idle (thank you Frankie, Celia, Terry, Mr S, Lynda, Rupert and Glenis) and now you can sign our petition on our website where, in keeping with GDPR regulations, you can also join our mailing list if you wish (thank you Phil).
If you do, you’ll be the first to hear from us when they restore the internationally-
famous name of the crown jewel of Kilburn High Road, the Tricycle Theatre.
The website (thank you Alex and Bosco) has been rewritten over the winter months (thank you Rachel). There you can now read all our previous newsletters (thank you Philippa) and we’ve introduced infographics to convey our purpose more quickly (thank you Heidi). We’ve changed our old colours (thank you Duncan) in order to promote the blue and white colour scheme and Helvetica font of our beloved Tricycle Theatre. On the website we’ve published as much as we can of about 100 press articles we’ve so far managed to generate and added blog posts like this one by me, Martin. You may have found your way here via Facebook advertising (thank you Paula) and if you have any feedback we’d be glad to receive it.
Our campaign team celebrated together in December (thank you Alan) and March (thank you Patrick). It remains for me to thank Wendy and Rob, Rosalie and the secret Triker, Aleks and Mary, Pam and the lady at No.58, Yvonne and Tim, Nick and Candice, Sandy and Nicola, Jody and Eugene, Bev and Jason, Marion and Anna. I can’t not mention Ken Chubb and his wife, the late Shirley Barrie, who started the Tricycle. Oh, and of course I must thank The Stage magazine for the accolade, awarding us the “Most Pointless Protest of 2018” award. To paraphrase the wonderful Olivia Coleman, if I’ve missed anyone out, meet me later and I’ll give you a massive snog.
