ORDINARY RESOLUTIONS
6) Reduction of promotion of holiday flights.
Proposer’s note: The CTC (Cycling UK)
Articles of Association state four Objectives
of the Club. Three are related specially
to cycling. The fourth states ‘promote
the conservation and protection of the
environment’. The member survey indicated
71% support for ‘Encouraging cycle use to
benefit the environment’. We would like to
propose that the Club adopts a progressive
strategy to reduce, and ultimately stop,
promotion of cycling holidays that involve
flying. An organisation whose stated
objective is to protect the environment
should not be promoting flying as it so
massively increases a person’s annual
carbon footprint and hence contributes to
climate change. The current promotion is in
the form of: CTC branded holidays, which
involve flying; articles in the magazine; and
the adverts in the magazine selling holidays
involving flying.
Proposer: Martin Crane
Seconder: Alison Hill
The Board accepts this motion.
Cycling UK wishes to be part of both this
and wider discussions on the part that flying
contributes to carbon footprints and climate
change.

downloadable from (and summarised at):

The small print says travel is not included. So the winner can use trains or a combination of ferries and driving if they object to flying.

The typo of Pelotan is quite amusing there!

I think it may be a carefully crafted company name rather than a typo: https://pelotan.cc/
