Member Benefits
We offer two membership options: Full and Affiliate. Each membership type comes with its own set of benefits designed to support and enhance the growth of our cycling community. Below, you’ll find a detailed list of the advantages associated with each membership level.
Note:
We strongly encourage all members, whether full or affiliate, to participate and engage actively. While affiliate members have the opportunity to vote on club and committee matters, only full members are eligible to stand for election to the committee.

In-Case of Emergency tag
Enhance your cycling safety and club pride with a personalized IceTag—an essential part of your riding kit, whether it’s an all-day epic or a quick evening ride. As cyclists, we face certain risks, and accidents can happen. These tags provide vital information that emergency responders may need in the event of an incident.

They’re available for just £5.00 each.
