Ive set up a small riding club for Wentwood riders, Despite only starting up on friday night the forum has gone down well aswell as visitor numbers.

Our Website - www.wentwooddownhill.co.uk

Now over a year old and with 100+ members.

Hi well sorry if your meant to but i dont have a BC licence. I posted in here as it said clubs board  .
We have 17 members so far over 3 days and we ride mostly at Wentwood hence Wentwood riding association. www.wentwooddownhill.co.nr is our site.

37 members now 
do you have to pay to be an affiliated club? also what are the pros/cons of doing this.

The advantage of being affiliated is that you have the insurance cover for your club and good support from B.C.
The first year is the most expensive, after that there are reductions in the affiliation fee for every member you have of B.C.
I also think that B.C. give you some free bronze memberships to distribute to your volunteers. Every region has a B.C. manager, if you get in touch with B.C. they will tell you who your regional manager is and they would help you set up an official club. Good luck whatever you decide to do. 

Take care forming a club without insurance could land you in hot water. A group of friends you may get away with it, but if someone gets hurt on a ride you have organised wouldnt want to be you in this day and age.

fair enough but you need to know that disclaimers etc count for nothing if someone did try to sue you. Have fun and think about it as soon as you can get it together.

Ye, you can follow the fireroad through the treesso it is quite easy to see the track outline.

New website is now
