Joining Tyneside Vagabonds

Tyneside Vagabonds Cycling Club (TVCC) uses the Spond platform for communication between members.

We recommend that you download the Spond App on a Smart Phone (available, for free, for both iPhone and Android) to find out what is happening, advertise events and communicate with other members. [You can do much the same with Spond on a web browser, but you must use a laptop or desk top to do so, hence it is less available than the App.] You won’t see any TVCC information on the App, except the logo, until you have completed stage 3 (see below).

Memberships (stage 2 below) are hosted on the British Cycling platform. Club membership is separate from British Cycling membership. Membership of British Cycling is not required.

Yes you can join TVCC without joining Spond. If that is your choice, jump to 2 below and ignore 3.

Joining TVCC is a three stage process: 1 Join Spond; 2 Sign-up and Pay for Membership using the British Cycling website; 3 Use ODOUL to join the TyneVags Spond group. 

In more detail:

  1. Join Spond, either via an App on your phone (preferred) or on-line. Minors: provision for Guardian is available within Spond, so a minor can be the member, but communication is via the Guardian. TVCC require a signed Parental Consent Form for any minor; obtainable from the Go-Ride team or the membership secretary. The TVCC Go-Ride group uses Spond.
  2. Click the “Buy Membership” link (below)  to access membership types and fees (maximum fee £20) where you will be asked to provide some personal data relevant to your membership. You can add family members (one adult and any minors) if you wish. Submitting the form alerts the membership secretary to your intention to join TVCC. [Note: Membership of British Cycling is NOT required.]  
  3. Go to the Spond App and use the group code ODOUL to join the TyneVags Spond group. There may be a delay of a few days while your membership is verified. A restricted sub-group is used for minors and Go-Ride coaches.

Note: TVCC does not provide insurance. We recommend that you obtain cycling insurance separately.

If you require further information please contact the membership secretary: tynevags.membership@gmail.com
