About the Cycling Ireland MBLA Scheme
The Mountain Bike Leader Awards (MBLA) was developed by Scottish Cycling (SC) in conjunction with the Scottish Advisory Panel for Outdoor Education (SAPOE) in order to provide a framework and qualification for leaders to deliver mountain biking as a safe and enjoyable activity. The MBLA Scheme facilitates a non-competitive experience of mountain biking for groups of people with wide ranging abilities and aspirations. MBLA encourages participation in mountain biking through group led activities. (more…)

2012 Cycling Ireland Fees
0The various fees for 2012 have been published by Cycling Ireland
The fees document can be viewed HERE
Fees include such aspects as
- Member licence fees
- Day Licence fees
- Club affiliation fees
- Championship fees
- Letter of indemnity fee
Notes: 1. Restricted Competition refers to Track, Off-road, BMX, Bicycle Polo or TT specific domestic licences. 2. “Attached” refers to being a member of a Cycling Ireland affiliated club, “Unattached” refers to not being a member of a Cycling Ireland affiliated club; 3. Members are advised that Provincial Executives set their own levies. 4. Exchange rate to be used for sterling will be the average for the year to 31st October 2011.
The main changes from the 2011 fees are: A €5 increase on all Senior Licences. The rationale for these increases is primarily the need to cover the base costs of serving members and provided new services/facilities, by way of example insurance costs alone have increased from €93k in 2010 to €140k in 2011 That the club sponsorship fee is removed as it is a penalty on clubs who have used their initiative to raise funds, other affiliation fees to remain unchanged. For 2012 Juniors will be categorized separately, with JR in their licence (if they take out a full competition licence).
