Registration Begins

Thursday, December 20, 2012
Ballymena Road Club – Chain Reaction Cycles – held their first registration meeting for the 2013 cycling season at their Rex Bonar house club rooms last Monday evening.This first registration meeting was for all newcomers (both adult and underage) and for existing junior and youth members and it produced an encouraging response with many participants from the recent fun tour series joining the club for the first time.
All first time club members are reminded that they must produce a photo copy of their ID – passport, driving licence or birth certificate.All new members need to sign on at the club rooms, rather than on-line. All under 18 year olds require parental consent forms, so again they need to sign on at the club rooms rather than on-line.
The registration fees for 2013 are as follows:Introductory membership (non- racing) £28. Cycling membership (non- racing) £44. Club competition licence £73. Restricted competition licence (club racing plus one other category for example Time Trial, MTB, Cyclo cross or Track) £98.Full competition licence for adults £127. Full competition licence for youth under 14 (born 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002) £10. Full competition for youth under 16 (born 1997 or 1998) £34.Full competition licence for juniors (born 1995 or 1996) £47. Associated membership £15.
 Many existing Ballymena Road Club members have been contacted by Cycling Ireland to apply "on-line” for their racing licences and membership renewals.They may now apply for their 2013 Cycling Ireland licence on-line at www.cyclingireland.ie.
Existing Ballymena Road Club members who feel they may be unable to apply on-line to renew their memberships and licences may attend the club’s first registration meeting of 2013 which is scheduled for Monday 7th January at 7.15pm in Rex Bonar House.Any cyclist who takes part in the club’s weekend touring or training rides is expected to join the club so as to benefit from Cycling Ireland’s third party insurance cover.The main benefits of membership include 24 hours a day 7 days a week Public Liability Insurance cover of up to 7.5 million Euro.
