Where this code of conduct refers to Social Media or SM, we are including all platforms available now and into the future that are or may become available. Currently as a club we promote WhatsApp and Facebook

A WhatsApp (SM) Group chat is available for the purpose of discussing cycling related topics. This includes Route discussions, Sportives and Club runs. Please feel free to share any photos from club runs, sportives or club events on this Group chat also.

The social media platforms used are open to all club members. 

Please do not use any foul language or swearing

.

You will not post any material that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, or otherwise objectionable You will not behave in an abusive manner, and will not harass, threaten, nor attack anyone. If you disagree with someone’s posting or comment, please ask them to stop and/or report this to the club email. You will, if asked by a Chat moderator, cease posting any content deemed to be unsuitable.
