We are committed to creating an environment that promotes the enjoyment and enthusiasm of every rider within our club through a safe and positive environment. We want to support our riders to base their conduct on a sense of personal integrity; based on the acceptance of rules, fairness, equality, respect for others and a sense of what is right; where major rule infringements are automatically rejected as being not part of the sport of cycling.
As a member of the club, I will:

opponent is not acceptable or permitted behaviour in any sport
• work equally hard for myself and my club
• respect the rights, dignity and worth of all participants regardless of their gender, ability, disability,
cultural background or religion

without them there would be no competition
