Charity cycle run - insurance?

    I've been roped in with helping to organise a charity cycle run in a few months time. Nothing too spectacular, about 20 folk of varying abilities for 50-miles.

    After having had a wee hunt around here, membership of CTC and then affiliating the "group" seems to be the way to go for arranging liabiity insurance. I know, things were much simpler when I was a lad, etc., but I'm working on the same principle of taking an umbrella so it doesn't rain :o)

    Being naturally quite tight, and mindful that expenses will be taken off any funds raised, does anyone here have any hints on getting the best membership price? Is paying to join a local club in order to get a cheaper membership fee than the current £41 for a waged-adult worth doing?

    TIA

    If it's between the 1st of April and 31st of July, Bike Week might well cover it for free. http://www.bikeweek.org.uk/page.php?id=53

    Hmmm, should have posted here before the 3rd Sunday in August was already decided on!

    Excellent link Uberuce, I think we'll be bringing the date forward by a few weeks for next year - ta for that.

    If your local CTC group is amenable, and one of their members 'leads' the ride, you might be able to do it jointly with them as a CTC ride. That's how we arrange our summer rides when the Bike Week insurance runs out.

    Sally. Your post very much infers that your summer rides are not official CTC runs. That being the case you can have as many CTC members there as you like but the "event" will have no cover whatsoever. CTC members' third party insurance will still be valid for the included risks but won't extend to leader liability.
