British Cycling Membership

10 Dec

Nonna’s La Squadra has renewed it’s membership for 2012 with British Cycling Federation (BCF) and as such, one of the key benefits for any one who has not registered with BCF in the last 2 years is entitled to a £13.50 discount off Gold or Silver membership.
As you will see via the link below the current rate for Gold is £64 with Nonna’s membership this takes it to £50.50……Silver is £36 with the discount this takes it to £22.50
With the amount of cycling you are all doing it’s worth every penny for peace of mind whether your cycling here in the UK or abroad….below is the membership code for the discount level…please read carefully via the links below what are the benefits of  Gold, Silver or Ride membership.
For “Race membership” the promotional code is ‘NEWCMRA”……….
For “Ride membership” the promotional code is ‘NEWCMRD”………..
This link takes you directly to the BCF booking form to fill in as detailed above.

In order to view the difference of Gold, Silver or Ride membership see below.

Gold Membership.... is perfect for those who race competitively as it gives access to a Full Racing Licence, personal accident insurance and much more.
Silver Membership...is perfect for those who race competitively as it gives access to a Full Racing Licence plus lots of great value benefits.

There is a 3rd licence (just to complicate things) called “Ride membership” ideal for la Squadra members “Ride Membership”  is for the sportive rider……cost £12.00 this does not entitle to any discount as above …and cannot be used to purchase a race licence

Hope this is all clear….let me know if it isn’t however it does take some time to digest all the various benefits of Gold and Silver membership….but with thew amount of cycling you are all doing throughout the year it would be good to have a licence to have insurance cover depending on membership chosen

Sheffield Children’s Hospital Winter Ball 2011

21 Nov

Lucy Crapper, a La Squadra Rosa is helping organise the Sheffield Children’s Hospital Winter Ball this year, and as there’re a handful of places left to sell has asked for this info to go on-line should you want to book a spot. Here’re some details from Lucy and a link to the relevant website confirming booking instructions…

The Winter Ball 2011 takes place on Saturday 26th November at Ponds Forge International Sports Centre, and is set to have some great guests including the band Keane, Jessica Ennis, Michael Vaughn, Lee Westwood, Katie Melua and Jamie Toseland.

There’ll be an auction on the night with some amazing prizes, such as an opportunity to play in the Dunhill Links Champs at St Andrews (this is complete one-off that’s open normally to pro golfers only), a box for 12 at Lords, “body weight in wine” (from Nonnas no less), Team GB Skin Suit, and much more.

The last Winter Ball raised £65,000, so the heat is on to try and beat that this year. Very few people realise that the Sheffield Children’s Hospital isn’t fully funded by the NHS and they rely on donations, so events like this go a long way in helping to generate much needed funds.
