Two Club or Not Two Club


Formosa

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

 

New to the scene and I was wondering if there are any sort of written or unwritten rules on joining more than one club.

 

Possible reasons -

weekday ride locations may vary to weekend

Already paid annual fee and not so happy with club

Like to keep my riding options open

Pure curiosity

 

Thanks

Gauteng is a small place...I'm sure you'll find another one.

 

(Maybe let people know what area you in)

Most clubs won't mind you doing a couple of `try out` rides. This should solve the curiosity issue.

 

I don't think that there are any issues with being a member of 2 clubs. I know a few people who are. Some of them are open about it. Other seem to try keep it a secret.

It's illegal to belong to more than one club at a time, like insurance.. I am sure I read it here on the Hub, so it must be true...

Is it illegal to not have belonged to a club since the 90s?

I belong to more than one club - each serves their purpose.

In road running it is illegal, as they have a well organised league and there are points at stake. However, sailing it is not, as membership gives access to facilities. the more organised a sport is, and the more organised their leagues are the less likely you will be allowed to join two clubs at a time.

Cycling, especially pedal power, is not that phased by it. Only when you start competing does it become an issue.

 

As a multi sport person I am a member of a cycling, sailing, chess, running and orienteering club and a free agent on the duathlon/triathlon scene.

 

Some clubs like AR and TCS do help you to register for multiple sports through their infrastructure.

CSA made it requirement for one to belong to a club in order to get CSA membership, and hence enter a CSA sanctioned event. I think this happened in 2009.

 

They then changed it. You still need to be a member of club to get a racing license, but you don't need to be member of a club to get CSA membership. I think this happened in 2012
