Legal Question

im pretty sure one of my parents had to sign it

Thanks for your replies, Alan, whilst I can understand the concern parents might have, I know I can guarantee any child on a ride I attend will not in any way be abused ( I'm not really concerned about the risk of false allegations). So that's not a problem for me.

What I can not guarantee, is that they won't have an accident and cause themselves injuries.

I'm thinking what if a 16 year old had seen Grahames' post on the forum and turned up on sunday at East Croydon ?

Clearly adults ride at their own risk, but it seems that minors are the responsibility of the other adults.

With off-roading in particular, requiring constant risk assement and desision making, I don't much like that.

Stu, due to the nature of my other halfs job i am "police checked".

When I next see you on the club run I will make sure that your steed is in

good stead.

Notice he didn't say the result of the check. Only that he'd been checked.

On a more serious note i seem to remember Tim Coales raised/ sorted

this issue a coupla years ago.

My guess is that CTC would be able to be a bit more cycle specific about this issue and I imagine they have a person designated of H&S and for young people and certainly expert legal advice.

Stu - we all feel safer when uncle Ian is around!
