If you have just joined, then WELCOME TO YOW

 

Please take a moment to review the following that provides important information for new members to help get you acquainted with your new club.

 

  1. Join the EGroups forum as soon as possible. This is our primary means of group communication over email and web, and all the information you need to get setup is here.
  2. Please read and be familiar with our ride protocol. Safety while group riding is paramount, where people ride predictably and follow a common set of guidelines.
  3. Get to know who's who by checking out the mugs of those on the committee here.
  4. Look over this YOW website and checkout the useful links and maybe be tempted by the merchandise
  5. Checkout the ride calendar to see where we're riding to each week. The calendar is part of the EGroups so you'll need to be registered on that first, then click on the calendar page.
  6. Head down to our meeting point in Centre Rd. Location details and seasonal times are here. Many members come along nearly every Sunday morning, even if they're not able to ride that week, just to enjoy having coffee or breakfast with their YOW friends. We look forward to seeing you down at the cafe where we'll make you really welcome.

 

And finally if you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to call or email anyone on the committee, contact details are all here.
