I saw CTC on the topic list and wondered what it was / stands for. Are they an insurance company for bikes?

Cyclists' Touring Club. Third party insurance is one of the perks of membership. They represent cyclists' interests (e.g. when drafting the new highway code) and provide some legal advise to members.

Ok, I hate to admit this but I am, ahem, currently resting. Do they do a cheap (i.e., discounted) membership for a pauper like wot I is ?

If you're unwaged it's £13 less - That's £21 instead of £34.

Nope - get on the bike and join British cycling (expecting flaming here) !
Why would you get flamed?
They're different organisations with different aims and objections. It's obvious you'll choose the one that most matches your own interests. Of course there's nothing stopping anyone from joining both.

The CTC also have regional/area groups that meet up (usually at weekends) for leisure/touring rides. You don't need to be a member to go on a ride with them - they only expect you to join if you're going to be a regular. Try a search for a club in your area. They are also heavily involved in York Cycle Show/Rally every year. This is a kind of bike festival with camping, CTC organised social rides, audaxes, trade stands, bike test riding (including folders, recumbents, 'special' bikes, tandems, trikes etc, if you've ever fancied a go on one) vintage cycling films, grass track racing and cycle polo to watch.
