Re: individual membership carer concession

Thanks both, to third crank and gaz.
(That must be dissolution in 2017?)
I am likely heading for BC “ride” membership now...and if the urge to time trial comes back, upgrade to “race” membership.
Thanks again to all on here for contributions.
Farewell to what was the CTC.

Re: individual membership carer concession

As I half expected, nobody got back to me with further clarification on this subject, from either cycling uk or their insurer.
I guess I could expect the same kind of inefficiency if I were ever to make a claim, so for now, I will look elsewhere.
I just wish that they didn’t offer such a concession if they are not able to offer transparency.
British cycling offers a decent package, and I’m inclined to forget about the carer aspect. :(
I remember a while back reading about a splinter group from this organisation, (cycletouring?) ... does anyone know if that prospered and whether or not they were able to offer third party insurance?

Re: individual membership carer concession

Many thanks to all who have replied, much appreciated.
Like some other members I guess, I joined this cycling organisation as a continuation of the CTC, [apologies to anyone who this might offend :wink: ]... the indemnity insurance has always offered a great peace of mind and this is why I seek clarification.
Over the last year, my personal caring responsibilities have increased significantly, which is why I am pursuing this line.
I hope to hear more from cycling uk's insurers next week and will update this thread. Kev.

individual membership carer concession

cycling uk will gladly take my money for full membership, paying a reduced fee as a carer. [concession.]
For interest, today they were unable to tell me what proof I would need to support claiming 'carer' status in the event of a claim under their indemnity insurance scheme? nor could their insurers.
I wondered if anyone on here has any knowledge on this?...do I have to be in receipt of carer allowance, resident with the disabled person...etc..?
Many thanks, kev the rev. many years awheel on steel.

individual membership carer concession

I have spoken today with both the 'cycling uk' and with their insurance provider.
Neither was able to clarify what 'proof' they require in order to meet carer status. {I was told that in the event of a claim through cycling uk's indemnity insurance, my claim to 'carer' status would be looked into! }
Can anyone on here advise further from personal experience?
many thanks. kev...many years awheel.
