Any ride that we do which has a large cost, for instance, if we have a band on an overnighter, then Social Club members will be asked to pay a small cover charge, but this will be less than non-members.
You’ll get discounts at a few select local businesses - so far South West Motorcycle Movers & South West Yamaha are on board to give CR SC members discounts, We’ll look into a few more places as time goes on..
We’ll have ‘member only’ meetings & catch-ups.
Q: Is there a cost to be a member?
A: Once accepted by the committee there will be a $40/yr fee (which may change slightly each year), if you stop payment after a year your membership will expire.
