Guidelines to club rides returning Club rides can only resume so long as the club and its members adhere to the new guidelines. So apologies for the lengthy details below but here are the guidelines we must follow :   To adhere to the Scottish Government and Scottish Governing Body (SGB) guidelines, MFCC require to have in place an appropriate process in place to take an accurate record of all attendees, for all club rides. To comply to this, any rider who wishes to take part in a club ride must complete the relevant details requested in the web-link below. It must be ensured this is completed before the ride takes place. If not completed the rider cannot take part in the club ride. All that is requested is name, contact telephone number and date of the session. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScoW6lSS8xB2PaDYdxKIp96X9xRXabuE4F9HpmeQYHeQ43tsg/viewform?usp=sf_link Under the current guidelines, club rides can take place with up to 30 people from unlimited households.

2018 Membership due

A happy new year to you and it is hoped the winter cycling is going safe and well !! Now that we have entered 2018 it is that time of year when the annual club membership is required to be renewed. If you remember at the 2017 AGM it was agreed that the annual club membership fee would remain at £20, but to encourage members to renew their membership at the start of the calendar year the renewal fee would increase to £25 from 1st February. Previously the club has had to issue reminders well into the calendar year for membership renewals, so it is hoped the above details will minimise/avoid this re-occurring. Hopefully you understand why this was agreed at the AGM. Payment can be sent via bank transfer or paypal (info@mfcc.org.uk). Membership can also be purchased through the website where there is an additional 90p charge to cover processing fees. For more information...
