Social Media

The Club offers all kinds of riding activities to its members. Sometimes the choice can be overwhelming and so a number of special interest groups have formed that use the convenience of social media. These groups complement the Club’s website with the ability to provide last minute updates and to serve niche interests. Detailed below are some of them.

Website

The club website (www.gloscitycc.co.uk) is the primary source of club communications. It is maintained with ride details, including any late changes. If in doubt about any activity, it is the best place to check.

Facebook

The most important page to note is the Club Facebook page Gloucester City Cycling Club. The Committee posts events, ride details, and reports on this page. Because it is visible to the public and represents the Club only the Club’s official representatives, in general members of the Committee, may post to it. Facebook groups, which members may join, allow more interraction than the page and include:

GCCC Racing Group, is a group that discusses racing, training, and related topics. Administrators include the Racing Secretary and the General Secretary.

GCCC Buying and Selling, allows Club members preferential access to trading opportunities. Administrators include the General Secretary.

Glos City Cycling Club largely covers the same ground as the Club page, but permits greater member interraction. Administrators include the General Secretary

WhatsApp groups

There are several active WhatApp groups in the Club, gathered in a WhatsApp community. Joining this community allows you to see the various special interest chats such as Racing, Sunday Rides, Buying & Selling, Zwift, and more. Note that joining the Community will require you to provide a mobile telephone number and in doing so you are giving permission for it to be used for relevant communication, which may include voice calls. Club membership does not automatically grant access to these groups – the decision to permit or refuse access is solely that of the Community administrator.

If you wish to join the Community or any of its groups, please send your request with your mobile phone number to secretary @gloscitycc.co.uk.
