Affiliate your club to CTC
Many cycling groups work closely with CTC to encourage cycling in their local area. Membership of CTC also means that a local group is making a contribution to our work for all cyclists at a national level.
Affiliating to CTC provides important benefits for your cycling group:
- Comprehensive Organisers' Liability insurance
- Special rates on full individual CTC membership
- Special affiliated CTC membership to pass on to your members that gives them third party cover
- Your events listed on the CTC web site
It is our very strong recommendation that no organisation should organise cycling activities for others without considering the advice available and getting some form of liability insurance to protect its officers from personal liability. To back this up, we provide a comprehensive Organisers' Liability insurance policy when you join as an affiliated club to protect your officers and volunteer ride leaders. To find out more, read
the insurance fact sheet.
How to affiliate your club, group or organisation to CTC

How to start a new CTC Member Group
There is no cost to becoming a CTC Member Group and all groups are open to CTC members. Non-members must join CTC after their first few rides. The
insurance factsheet for member groups details what the organiser liability insurance covers. Setting up a CTC Member Group is explained in more detail in the
Policy Handbook for CTC Groups and Organising Committees; and is partly reproduced below:
To form a Member Group:
- ten local members must sign a notice calling a meeting at a place in the area of the proposed group
- notice must be given to the Chief Executive of the CTC, and must appear in the issue of CYCLE published in one of the two months prior to the date of the meeting
- notice must also be given to the secretary of any other Group whose area covers any part of the area to be covered by the proposed new Group. The meeting may resolve to submit to the Director of the Club an application for the formation of a Group.
Member Groups can form independently of other CTC groups, and exist even on the same geographical area, provided that the new groups activities are not aimed at the cycling community.
