Slipstreamers Induction - New Riders

Saturday 14 January 2023, 9am until 12pm

Introduction

Slipstreamers is a youth cycling charity for children aged 5-16 years, run ENTIRELY 100% by unpaid Volunteers, with a keen focus on the whole development of young people. We are a community of teachers, plumbers, artists, engineers, ceo's, directors, developers, housewives, house-husbands, lawyers, etc, working very hard to provide ongoing opportunities through cycling, young volunteering and youth leadership to our members, as well as the wider cycling community. We are a British Cycling Go-Ride Club with Sport England's Clubmark quality accreditation; as well as a member of London Youth with a Bronze Quality Mark accreditation from City & Guilds.

Induction Overview

Safety is our number one priority above all else, and we need to ensure the correct rider to Coach ratios are observed at all times. With large numbers of children of varying abilities across the circuit every Saturday, we must manage these vigilantly. Therefore, all inductions are planned and administered very carefully so as not to impact current groups, ensure sufficient volunteer coverage, and facilitate smooth transition from induction to our Bronze development group which is where ALL new riders commence their Slipstreamers journey.

We take great care and diligence to provide you with everything you need to know in advance of your child's induction to ensure a stress-free and enjoyable morning when you arrive at the circuit. As such we ask you to please click all the links below under the heading "More Information About this Event", and read all the information provided so you are clear on what to expect and what to bring along.
