After finally joining up after riding there for a number of years I was pleasently surprised by the welcome pack, 4 place mats,4 stickers.
£12 for membership 10% off Swinnertons (Birches Valley shop)gear and free tea/coffee.
Reduced price parking permit prices tbc.
This has got to be a bargin and your helping volunteers maintain/build the trails @ Cannock Chase.

You could cause some serious havok with that red placemat!
Welcome to the "family" Rich... 🙂
The £12 will be easily recouped after a few rides with the free tea and coffee. Well worth it.... 😉
does the car parking charge go towards trail maintenance?
been dropping hints at a local landowner that mtb trails may be a good moneyspinner, and the chase car park seems invariably to be packed every weekend.
I don't think the money collected at the meter goes to maintenance but to the FC. But if you get a parking pass for the year then that money goes to Chasetrails. I'm sure Stu will correct me if I'm wrong....
Ha.
We raffled a 456 Summer Season to renewals last year.
This year is even better, new and renewing members will get:
A lovely letter telling them about some of the stuff that's been going on.
A copy of Hope's 20 year anniversary booklet (with section on the club / Stainburn)
A membership card (discounts galore in shops throughout Yorkshire).
Stickers (everyone loves stickers!)
The chance to win not just once but many times from a generous sponsor's mystery gifts (more to be revealed one day 😉
Not really trying to be competitive, honest 😉
Membership is a bit dearer though (£15). But we still haven't sorted out membership on line 🙁

I do like those place mats though!
How much does the meter parking at Birches cost now?
If the parking permit goes direct to chasetrails then that's a bonus.
I think its £2 all day...
*joins, just so he can have a place mat like that*
Maybe if the STW mag did a Trail group a month feature it would help local groups increase membership 🙂
The last Chasetrails dig eveybody that turned up got entered into a draw for a raffle of loads of prizes 🙂
Carpark at Birches valley is always rammed on a Sunday might volunteer some of my time and take a collecting tin and membership forms to the entrance 😛
Parking is £2 a day but is being increased to £3 soon.All parking permits that are purchased through Chasetrails keeps the money.
So a few of us could get together and create a rival Follow The Dog with the mats.....Hmmm.....maybe divert all the traffic to a burger van. We'd make a killing!
Mmm, burgers.
Strange people have mentioned "burgers" and Snakie has'nt turned up yet!
