I'm a member of the CTC, have been off and on since the early 90's. I joined for the 3rd Party Insurance, the chance to rise with others in a non-competitive social style, for the excellent magazine, for the superb technical advice from the club and the ever splenetic Chris Juden, and for the wealth of information on routes and places to visit by bicycle. I even did a little bit of local rights of way protection volunteering for the CTC once upon a time.
Now more than half of the members subscriptions are going to fund the CTC Trust a charity formed a few years ago to campaign and undertake services on behalf of local and central govt. The tail now wants to wag the dog and subsume the Club into the Trust.
I shall be voting no against the special resolution to turn the CTC into a charity. Someone somewhere has misunderstood the point of why it is the largest cyclists MEMBERSHIP organisation in the country; and it isn't so it can do contract work for local and central government
