You’ve heard about the fab range of club activities we offer and you want to take part.
So, join our Club!
It is easy to do – just read the short summary below, hit the “Join us!” big orange button below, and follow the simple on screen instructions.
We look forward to seeing you.
Membership Structure
The ethos of Garioch Road and Gravel is participation.
Therefore, our membership structure is designed to reward participation in Club activities by offering a range of member benefits.
The more you participate, the more benefits are available.
We have three levels of membership.
New Member
All members will enter the club in this category. Members will earn “Participation Points” with 12 points required in the membership year to move up to the next membership category.
New members have a limited range of member benefits.
See how to earn
Participation Points, and the range of member benefits below.
Active Member
Once you have earned 12 participation points in the membership year, you will become an “Active Member”.
Active Members have the full range of member benefits.
Member
If an Active Member does not gain 12 participation points in a membership year, they return to Member status and lose the benefits of being an Active Member.
Our goal is to provide such a wide range of exciting rides and social events that no one will ever make this move*
*We know that, sometimes, life gets in the way of cycling. So, the Club’s management group will consider fairly any extenuating circumstances that lead to Members failing to achieve the necessary participation points to retain Active membership.
Participation Points
Participation Points are rewards from the Club for participating in Club activities. They are very easy to earn, and achieving Active Member status should not prove difficult.
Attend GRG Ride – 1 point
Attend Social Event – 2 points
Organise and/or lead a GRG ride – 3 points
Volunteer on behalf of GRG – 5 points
Organiser of a GRG Event – 7 points
Membership Plan Tailored for You
The range of benefits available to Club members will depend on their membership level.
Annual Membership – £32 Per Year!
GRG Membership is on a yearly basis.
We do offer pro rata rates if you join during the year.
Membership year starts on 1st October
