Curlieu Wheelers Cycling Club

Cycling Ireland membership for 2012 can be renewed online from next Monday 28th.  If you log into the CI website using the password that they sent you to your email address, you can renew your own membership using a laser card.  Most members have used their chance at the introductory rate so we will now have to pay 25 euro for a 2012 leisure license.  Those who haven't paid for 2011, the introductory rate of 15 will apply.  For those wishing to enter competitions next year, a full competition license will cost 120 euro.  However a one day competition license can be purchased for races for 10 euro if you don't think you will be entering too many races!!!

Cycling Ireland have asked us to renew or join up using their online service.  Therefor, it is up to members to renew their own CI affiliation.  Those of you who had problems with your password should find that the matter is resolved as Aaron spoke to CI on Friday to try to sort the problem.

Along with the 10 euro to CI for 2011, we asked members to pay an additional 10 euro towards the club.  This was essential for start up costs such as meeting venue rental, Cycling Ireland affiliation fees, club logo design and the 50k launch cycle costs.  If you have not paid the 10 euro for 2011, we would be grateful if you could include it with the 2012 club contribution of 20 euro.  This contribution is vital as the club will have to pay an increased fee of  150 euro plus an additional 140 euro which must be paid to the Connacht Cycling Union.  To clarify, the 2012 membership will be 25 euro paid directly to Cycling Ireland and 20 euro towards the club.  The 20 euro can be given to any of the committee members.
