Incident Reports

Thankfully, our rides and events are usually remembered for all the right reasons. That is, club members safely enjoying themselves whilst encountering only good natured individuals along the way. However on rare occasions, something can go wrong. It is important and a requirement of our club insurance that we keep a record of club activities which have involved abusive behaviour, injury, illness or property damage sustained by club members or third parties. To do this we have created an online Incident Report form. An Incident Report should be completed and submitted as soon as possible after the incident with those involved delegating one person to complete the form. Only one form should be completed per incident.

Happy riding!
