Invitation to share:

 

May we ask you to send us a short email note in answer to the following
questions about the Car Free Day 2008 invitational that was organized by the
European Commission and its allies on Monday the 22nd. We will then compile
the responses and if enough of interest comes in will of course share with
our friends here, for broader distribution in turn if they feel it useful.
Thanks. Eric Britton
