Any question answered...

I also tried to set up a membership. This was in June. Come July I got the following email:

[INDENT]Thank you for your interest in the club. We're currently in the process of changing our membership procedures. In the past we invited prospective members to join us on our Sunday club ride so we could meet each other, but due to the recent increase in interest we're setting up a monthly novice/induction ride. Once this is in place I'll contact you again with the details.[/INDENT]

I never heard anything else, so I gave up on riding with Brixton due to poor communication and their attitude sounding like a pain in the ass.

Wow, sounds like they're not really up for new members. Will let you know if I find anywhere else for sure, dropped a message to Penge CC, no idea if they're better at responding...
