Cycling Clubs in the North East

Not been back in the saddle long after many years off a bike but from reading on here i'm starting to think a cycling club may be worth joining. I ride 2-4 times a week and have increased my rides from around 10-15miles to 25-30miles (longer on weekends if time permits)
Does anyone know of any decent clubs in or around the darlington area? I have googled and browsed a few sites and found Darlington CC, Ferryhill Wheelers and Stockton CC but not sure about how I would go about joining etc.
Not looking to race but do want to increase distance while getting fitter and faster
Anyone know of these clubs or have any recommendations around the area?

If you are looking to build mileage you may want to consider the CTC. There is a very friendly group out on Sundays doing typically 70 miles starting around Stockton / Middlesbrough at a decent pace but don't race. They can be found through the CTC website and you will find a warm welcome. They will also be able to put you in touch with other local clubs, DCC, and the Wheelers both of which tend to chain gang / race.

cheers for the replies, I dropped by croft circuit last night while out on a ride to watch a bit of the racing and got to meet a few people from some local clubs. There is also a 10mile tt tonight not far from me so possibly going to pop over there aswell.
Really enjoyed watching last night and got me tempted to enter when my fitness gets a bit better but am going to try a few sunday/weeknight rides to get used to being out in a group and go from there. I am told there is a fast group that goes out close to me on a Tuesday with Darlington CC that would be ideal in the future (work in Darlington on a Tuesday ) but again just something for me to work towards at the moment.
Diogenes I looked on the CTC site but couldnt find a start point/time for the local rides
