Insurance

As a member of the club you participate in club runs, rides or training sessions entirely at your own risk. You must accept responsibility for your own conduct and safety at all times, including the road worthiness, safety and security of your bike and equipment. We strongly recommend you take out appropriate third party insurance such as that offered by Cycling UK or British Cycling.

Membership Renewals

Subscriptions are due on 1st January each year. A renewal notice and membership renewal form will be sent to current members.

Memberships can be renewed and subscriptions paid in a variety of ways:

  1. Online with debit card, credit card or PayPal via the Member Mojo website.
  2. Using the ‘Join Us/Renew’ button on the top right of this page.
  3. In person with cash or cheque at the club room on a Monday night.
  4. Completing a membership form and sending to the Membership Secretary with the appropriate remittance.

We encourage all new and existing members to use the online facility because it reduces admin for our club volunteers but if you do need to join or renew manually please complete the New Membership Application Form or Membership Renewal Form.

Membership in Arrears

No member whose subscription is in arrears may take part in any club rides, training sessions, events or activities and will not be eligible for inclusion in any competitions or awards offered by the club.

Resigning from the club

If you do not wish to renew your membership, please give notice in writing to the Membership Secretary.

Termination of Membership

​If a membership renewal and subscription has not been received by 31st March it will be understood that the membership has lapsed and will be terminated without notice. In such cases members will be deleted from our Facebook group and their details removed from our distribution list. Any notifications for club rides, training sessions, events or activities will cease.

If your membership has lapsed you may not compete in any club or open event in the name of the club.

Code of Conduct

As a member of the club, you are expected to conduct yourself in a reasonable manner whilst racing, training and leisure riding. Please do not abuse the laws of the road or provoke or insult other road users, because at best it can bring the club into disrepute and at worst it could curtail certain privileges, facilities and relationships with the authorities that cyclists and other club members enjoy.​

Miscellaneous

Any non-member helping the club at any event in any capacity shall be deemed to be a member of the club on the day of the event at which he or she is assisting.​
