The club is affiliated to the CTC which gives us the benefit of the ride leader insurance and lots of best practice guidance and information for running our club and rides. In addition our club members can join the CTC as affiliated individual members for £12 a year which gives
• Third party insurance for all their rides.
• A CTC membership card giving access to a wide range of discounts and benefits.
• The weekly CTC email newsletter, “Newsnet”.

CTC site is an oasis of cycling information in the desert of a car centred society.
There you will find guidance and the latest versions of forms such as the Risk Assessment.
