Join the Wheelmen
Here is a link to a single file containing the documents needed to apply for Winchester Wheelmen membership. Click here to download the membership application As a member, please do fill out and return the waiver. The first blank of the waiver should be filled with "Winchester Wheelmen". The Winchester Wheelmen have obtained their liability insurance through the LAB, hence the use of document containing their name. Do note that this is an Adobe Acrobat Reader .pdf file. If you don't have the plug-in, you'll have to go to www.adobe.com for the free software to read it. If you don't want to mess with any of it, please send a brief e-mail to info@winchesterwheelmen.org to request that an application form be sent to you by mail. |

Club membership to the Winchester Wheelmen 1. We are a non-profit organization. 2. We are cycling advocates for all cyclists, mountain bike riders, road bike riders and families. 3. Membership runs coincidentally with the calendar year, with the year beginning on January 1st (ref. for those who might be on Chinese Year or something entirely different.) We used to, on the order of 10 years ago, keep track of everyone's membership month and they would be a member for one year – big pain to keep track of! We're not super-strict about the calendar year in terms of cutting members off from the newsletter. For example, a 2007 member will get the newsletter until March of 2008 unless they renew. 4. Club members are to receive a copy of the Winchester Wheelmen Resource CD-ROM upon initial membership. If you didn't get one, let us know. Contact info@winchesterwheelmen.org . We no longer have the WW map booklet from 1987 available. All of the maps that were in that booklet are on the CD-ROM, along with many other materials. 5. The club is called Winchester Wheelmen because of the ties to the national organization, League of American Bicyclists (LAB). The predecessor name to the national organization was League of American Wheelmen (LAW), hence “Winchester Wheelmen”. We still secure club cycling insurance through LAB. That's what part of your dues go to 6. Dues are spent in different ways by the club in different years. Though we might not do a club picnic in a particular year, we spend money in the community to support cycling (trail maintenance tools, helmet purchases, donations to events, etc.); this is done by vote at club meetings. Other things that consume dues money are printing and postage for the newsletter. (Thanks to so many taking the letter by e-mail; only 10% of the club is taking the newsletter by USPS!)
