The dates for the 2015 Go-Ride Conferences have now been confirmed. The conferences are free to attend for all of our Go-Ride Volunteers who are British Cycling members, so make sure you get those all important dates in the diary, as we have some fantastic content lined up.
The Go-Ride Conferences aim to support the growing Go-Ride network of club volunteers, as well as thanking everyone for their incredible efforts in providing opportunities for young people to get involved with our fantastic sport. An exciting schedule is currently being finalised for the events in 2015, with the focus this year on volunteer training. We hope you will join us to celebrate another amazing year of cycling.

A record number of volunteers attended the conferences last year, which focused on improving club management, making cycling more accessible and inspiring the next generation to get stuck into volunteering.
As British Cycling’s youth development programme continues to go from strength to strength, with more clubs joining the Go-Ride network and more young people becoming members of British Cycling, there’s no better time to discuss how we can drive the sport forward and ensure we build on the legacy of events such as the Tour De France, Tour of Britain, Women’s Tour and the Commonwealth Games.
Stephanie Allmark, British Cycling’s Development Manager for Clubs and Volunteers, said:
“The Go-Ride Conferences present us with a real opportunity to directly thank club volunteers, as well as providing training that aims to support their ongoing efforts at clubs across the country.
"With this year’s content shaping up to be the best yet, we’re hoping to see even more volunteers join us in March.”
The Go-Ride Club and Volunteer Awards will once again be included at the Go-Ride Conferences, so watch out for nominations opening towards the end of the year.
