Affiliate membership for cycling clubs and groups of all types and sizes
Whichever type of cycling you do, whether on or off-road, many people enjoy riding as a group. For example, people in the workplace, community and campaigning groups, as well as traditional cycling clubs, may organise cycling activities.
These groups of cyclists can arrange their activities in either a formal manner (e.g. with a membership subscription) or in an informal way (e.g. by using social media or an email distribution list). CTC supports groups that operate in an organised manner.
It is our very strong recommendation that no such group should organise cycling activities for others without considering some form of liability insurance to protect its leaders and officers from personal liability.
By affiliating your group to CTC, you will obtain our comprehensive Organisers' Liability insurance cover (see attached PDF below) of up to £10 million to protect your event organisers and volunteer ride leaders against any claims made against them. In addition, affiliating to CTC provides:
- The opportunity for members of your group to become individual affiliated CTC members for only £16 per year, which will provide them with Third Party cover;
- Your events listed on the CTC website;
- A copy of our award-winning magazine ‘Cycle’ every two months.
