I know it sounds like a stuck record, but I'd really recommend joining the CTC, least of all for all the above reasons.
There is this strange image of it being run by and for beardy old whingers, but that is a stereotype seemingly perpetuated by excessively vain middle-management MTB-riding bald men and ignorant hipsters.
They are a non-political organisation that has achieved a lot over the last hundred years in this country, not just for the benefit of geriatric tourers; their primary aim is to better the lot of their supporters, and they do it well (and it's not some old-boys club, support is neither exclusive nor expensive).
If political parties were as open and straight-up about their objectives as them I'd probably start voting again.
I'm fairly ignorant of the LCC's activities, but if they make as positive a contribution to society as the CTC I'd recommend joining them as well/instead.
