The club uses an email distribution list for the formal communication of information about the club, club rides, start times, meetings and policies.
WhatsApp is used more informally for chats about the rides, locations, good cafés, good pubs and cycling in general. It is also very useful if someone gets lost or has a mechanical or health issue.
Once you have contacted the club secretary to join the club, you can be added to one or both communication systems and are encouraged to use both.
The website provides static information for club members and potential members. It also displays recent emails on the home page in case a member’s email service is not working.
Ride leaders provide a summary of their rides on the website and then send more details nearer the time by email and optionally WhatsApp. Some leaders will also provide a mapped route on RideWithGPS.
