That takes me to a search. No obvious document.

Ride Leader pdf
Could anyone point me to the old or new version of the Ride Leader pdf please? CTC used to have one which covered all aspects of ride leading for affiliated groups.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

Burly blokes on the pavement - why?
As I cycle far and wide I keep noticing the same thing; why are there groups of fully kitted up MTB'ers riding on the pavements? I'm not referring to the odd work commuter on his £99.99 Y frame full susser, I'm talking about groups of blokes from their 20's to 40's, from three to eight or nine of th...

Re: Cycle Schemes - are they still worth it?
Of course I had to pay up front though. Which is where the 0% credit card comes in. Find the bike and accessories you want, negotiate a great price / utilise club discount card, pay with 0% card, set up D/D or regular transfer payment over 12 months. I'm sure that's what we'll do, and by promoting ...

Re: Cycle Schemes - are they still worth it?
I bought a folder on the Cycle Scheme many years ago, and I think I paid a nominal £5 at the end of the 12 months. It was straightforward to be able to work out the financial benefit. They do seem to have trashed the original good intention, and I'm at a loss as to why people bother with it now. In ...

Cycle Schemes - are they still worth it?
My wife's workplace is now offering the Evans Cycle to Work Scheme. Are these things actually worth doing these days, or has the government killed it off by introducing the final valuation payment?

Re: The CTC - is it vulnerable?
Another reason the CTC is vulnerable is this; the membership department is a total shambles. It was in 2007 and it is now.

Re: The CTC - is it vulnerable?
Many thanks and I can see how you have had success. So could the CTC help by providing the web space for each group? That's one of the things which CTC could have offered. My idea was that CTC bundle up a 'Stourbug' type package with instruction manual, but they didn't want to know. This is where B...

Re: The CTC - is it vulnerable?
I have spoken to the CTC a number of times to see if it could replicate our model and there was no interest other than me doing it myself for nothing. What is that model? I'm interested to learn more and see if I can persuade KLWNBUG to apply it. We're picking up a new rider or two each month, but ...

Re: The CTC - is it vulnerable?
I'm sorry for being about two years late responding to this thread. There's been a few comments about me and about Stourbug. I'd like to add if I may. Si, Simon and Rob are all about right, with the exception of the clipboard by the bed, and Stourbug continues to grow. Our membership almost made 330...

Re: Stourbridge Bicycle User Group
Here I am. What seems to be the problem? Website is http://www.stourbug.org.uk and has monthly ride list and contact details. Loads of other rides happen on a random basis via our forum, but this is members only. This forum is the lifeblood of the club and has, on average, over 100 new topics per mo...

Code of Conduct for parks
Folks
My LA is trying to find a form of words that will pacify pedestrians on shared routes in local parks. Bylaws currently prohibit cycling but the LA doesn't want to change that. Does anyone have an example that could be use as an intermediate step?

Re: It turns me off.
It all got far too deep and meaningful for me. Sorry. I guess my mail point was that we can get people to make sustainable transport choices, but we have to do it without demanding it, and without politics. As soon as we start preaching to people they turn off. Make it feel normal, because normal pe...
