Blue Light CC

This is a new one on me
Is anyone a member?

I did wonder if there's a 'NHS Cycling Club', but I can't seem to find one

Blocked on that link

The link worked for me, but the website tries to lure you in with attractive features, but just to find the basic details and membership costs, you have to dig very deep. So not much wiser.

Name suggests club might be about exceeding the speed limit as discussed on a recent thread.
The link blocks anyone outside the UK by the looks of it.

Followed it from very early days of the idea to it being set up. It looks well established now I guess it's all down to how active the local one is. I've not heard much about it recently thought it had pack in.
Be nice if it was open to close family of "blue light" staff. We do have a shared understanding of what it's all about to work in it, and have same need to let of steam with others who know all about.
I've contacted them a number of times to ask for it to be opened up but never get a reply.
As for NHS one don't think one is around it's not a bad idea though most of the time things are aimed at ambo's and rest is forgotten.

Wasn't aware of the cycling club, but there are all manner of "blue lights" perks available to my emergency services colleagues. Not to me though, because i work through suppliers, not directly.

The application form and processing time scale was really long when I looked at it so shelved it.

Our local plod was a keen cyclist and member of our club so he got a police bike and did some patrols on it.
This was the time of Balamory and he got so fed up being called PC Plum and pursued by small children and parents that he had to gave it up.

They're on strava, so must exist!

Yes, l have a ‘Blue Light Card’, & there are various discounts/offers

Eg; at the moment (not sure when it ends), there’s 8% off ASDA shopping (barring alcohol)
Plus ‘Greene-King’ (pub chain) did offer 20% off your food bill
