Moray Firth Cycling Club is now affiliated to Cycling Time Trials. The main benefit of this is that mfcc members will not be required to buy a race licence to ride CTT events, just the entry fee. The Club will also be able to organise races under a CTT licence in the future. Frequently Asked Questions 1. If my club affiliates to CTT, does it affect my club’s relationship with SC/BC? No, clubs can be affiliated to both organisations as most of the clubs in England and Wales are. 2. If my club affiliates to CTT can I ride in SC events? Yes, as long as you fulfill the membership requirements of SC. 3. If my club affiliates to CTT do I need to buy a CTT licence to race in CTT events? No, there is no race licence required by CTT. Once your club affiliates to CTT all the members of the club can enter CTT events, but you must be a paid up member of your club. 4. What does the CTT insurance cover? The CTT third party insurance covers competitors, race organisers and those involved with the running of the event against claims by third parties. It also covers accidents during CTT events where a competitor against another competitor claim is received. CTT recommends that all competitors should have their own personal third party insurance either through membership of a national cycling organisation, a commercial source or as part of their household insurance. 5. If I race in CTT events will SC revoke my or my club’s membership of SC? No, you can race in SC events, TLI...
