Parental Consent Form

Beaconsfield Cycling club welcomes members of all ages provided they have the minimum bike handling skills, a suitable bicycle and the level of fitness required to participate on our weekly rides. However, we do require that parents or guardians of young people taking part in our club activities complete a parental consent form.

This form should be completed by the parent/guardian of anyone under the age of 18 years wishing to take part in Beaconsfield Cycling Club activities or wishing to join the club.This is required for members and for non-members attending as a guest. Completed forms should be returned to our Membership Secretary, Rob Jones at brought to the activity/event that you wish to take part in.

All members under the age of 16 years must also be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian at all times on the ride. Please be aware that though your child may be able to out sprint you on the flat or win on every hill climb it does not mean that they have the capabilities or endurance to take part in a club ride. The Club’s Mellow and Mellow+ rides may be a more suitable starting place.

16 and 17 year olds should be competent riders and be capable of fixing punctures with the tools and spares that they carry with them.

For joining members under the age of 18 years, the Parental Consent Form is to be printed, completed and signed in addition to completing our online Membership Application Form.Your membership will be held as pending until this parental consent form is received.
