FREEBIES (by being a member of SFA)

Being a member of San Fairy Ann CC comes with some financial benefits, as well as health and wellbeing ones!

Ride with GPS Club Account. This is a valuable benefit for our club members which we pay for as a club, enabling your own personal free RWGPS account to have at no additional cost access to some premium features which would otherwise cost you £59 p.a. and access to the Club Route Library.  RWGPS also gives you route planning which would through Strava would cost you £48 p.a. Details of how to sign up are on our members-only forum.

Limited liability protection. We secure insurance to protect anyone who is acting on behalf of the club - such as those leading club rides or coaching sessions. Also, as SFACC is a 'limited liability company' you are protected from any individual financial liability for anything that happens on a club ride or race, as it's the club which takes the risk, not you. Most other cycle clubs don't have this - leaving you at personal risk of being sued if anything happens on, before or after a club event.

British Cycling insurance  We ask that all our members have insurance from one of the major cycling bodies.

Link to website here. 

Cycling UK insurance - discount for club members. We ask that all our members have insurance from one of the major cycling bodies. But being a member of SFACC means you can get a discount off that insurance. San Fairy Ann CC members can get affiliated individual Cycling UK membership for just £33 (rather than £48 for the full membership which also includes their incident hotline and magazine). By choosing the affiliated individual membership and entering your club’s affiliated code (which is 8002019), you’ll have peace of mind with third-party insurance and access to a whole host of fantastic benefits.

Limar helmets. http://www.mylimar.co.uk/  High specification cycle helmets. 30% discount for SanFairyAnnCC members. Use code SANFAIRYANN30

Discounts from British Cycling and Cycling UK.

These organisations also offer their own discounts to members. Some of these discounts are good, from money off bikes to savings on holidays. Check out the British Cycling discounts here, and the Cycling UK ones here. 

See if the government sponsored 'cycle to work' scheme can get you a discount off a bike. 

Many employers offer a Cycle to Work scheme – a tax-free benefit that helps spread the cost of buying a bike and cycling safety equipment. It was introduced as a way to reduce pollution and encourage healthier commutes. The guide here from Money Saving Expert explains how it works.

PARTNERSHIPS
