Save a date - Cycle to work breakfast
Save a date as here is the registration link for the 5th June breakfast at MMU. The Sustainability Team have asked to share a gentle reminder that you don’t need to print out your registration to the event, they’ll have the list ready to check you in, and if you have a travel mug do bring this along on the day to try and reduce single use coffee cups used at the event.
