Late renewal of audax membership

johnbirkby46213

I renewed about a week after the cut-off date. Does anyone know roughly how long it will take for my membership renewal to come through. I'd like to sart applying for my fav audaxes but can't until membership arrives.

TIA

Contact the membership secretary, details from the audax site. He's pretty good at answering queries quickly.

I've been out of the Audax loop for a while now but if you're not a AUK member - or a BC or CTC member then the only implication is you need to pay £1.50 extra for your insurance per event.

The event diary on the Audax website is also only fully viewable if your a member, mere punters like me can only see a couple of months worth of rides.

well i'm a fully paid up BC and CTC member so do I get a £1.50 discount...??

No, you just create a bugger of a problem for both organisations Insurers if you create a claim for them

If you're a CTC member you don't get a discount from the entry fee but you don't need to pay the temporary 3rd party insurance.

will I need to bring evidence of membership, I only have a membership number to quote. Have a BC racing license sans photograph though... :oops:

If you miss the deadline for renewing your membership you will probably have to rejoin. This happened to me last year. I missed it by about a week and had to pay and extra fiver.

Since shaving my beard off, losing my gut and buying a saddlebag that's the size of a small rodents scrotum I have become ineligble for AUK membership :evil:

Audaxes are good winter training rides.

no that's OK, organisers have no means of checking membership of CTC ot BC and rely on your honesty

BTW it's £2 day insurance this year. If you've recently joined you can e-mail the membership secretary and he may be able to tell you your membership number. The organiser doesn't send in your £2 until after the event so you could give him/her 2 cheques and he/she can rip one up if your name appears on the members database in the meantime

anybody can view the diary for the whole year (and even beyond in the case of LEL); just a month at a time by clicking the month letter on the LH column of www.audax.uk.net/cal
