We are delighted that you are considering joining our club, now in its 75th year.

This Expression of Interest is now open for a maximum of 100 new members.

Our first priority is your safety and that of our existing members while cycling, followed closely by our second priority of having many highly enjoyable group spins.

To facilitate the safe and orderly entrance of new members we operate a

  1. Fast Track Pathways programme for experienced group cyclists,
  2. "Pathways" entry programme, this will be run in July and the venue is Corkagh Park for those new to group cycling

Join us for the Fast Track cycling session on Saturday 1st April 10am to 12pm at Corkagh Park (directions)

If it is felt that you should complete the full pathways in July, we will ask you to return on that date or we can return your fees in full

Next step:

  1. We need to make sure that you are used to group cycling
  2. Tell you a bit about group cycling with Orwell and some of our rules

It is very simple, ALL new leisure entrants must:

  • Fill in this short online application
  • Pay €60 Orwell Membership and a once-off €40 fee to cover the Pathways course (payable at above link).
  • If you are a member of Cycling Ireland enter your membership number, if not you must join Cycling Ireland for insurance cover. Please note the membership number you enter will be checked.

NB: Entry to the club is NOT guaranteed by attending this course.
