You can join the Group in one of the following membership classes:

Associate Membership is for people who hold an A2/Full motorcycle licence and have not taken a RoSPA test, i.e. a member training to take their RoSPA test.  The joining fee is just £52.  This includes your first year membership (renewable 1st April), copies of Motorcycle Roadcraft and the latest Highway Code, one to one tuition and a pre-test cross-check.  We do ask that you contribute towards your Tutor's training expenses which are typically £20 per ride.  You can also join Group Training events and social rides.  When you are ready you can apply and pay for your test directly on the RoSPA website, costing £85.

Associate - 'New Rider' Membership is as for Associate Membership but for riders who have held at least an A2/full motorcycle licence for less than 3 years. With this package your first RoSPA test, current fee £85 , is free to you, paid for by Suffolk Riders.  The joining fee is just £52.  We may ask you to verify your entitlement.

Associate - Safe Rider Attendee Membership is as Associate Membership but only for attendees within one month of completing the current Suffolk Safe Rider course run by the Suffolk Constabulary.  The discounted joining fee is £37 this includes the benefits of Associate Membership, and we ask that you contribute towards your Tutor's training expenses which are typically £20 per ride.  You can also join Group Training events and social rides.  When you are ready you can apply and pay for your test directly on the RoSPA website, costing £85.  No tryout rides are available prior to joining, and evidence of having attended the Safe Rider day may be required.

Full Membership is for people who already hold a current RoSPA pass and RoSPA membership.  The joining fee is £30.  Please supply your RoSPA/RoADAR membership number, latest test date and grade.

Non-Riding Membership is available for members who no longer have a motorcycle available to them, and to supporting family of members who wish to make a contribution. The joining fee is £10.

Pre-requisites: you must hold a "Full" or an "A2" motorcycle licence and ride a motorcycle capable of maintaining the national speed limit.

Ongoing Fees:

Annual Membership Renewal Fees are £30 per year, renewable on 1st April for all members joining before 1st January; the renewal fee is discounted by £5 if paid before 1st April.  If it has not been paid by 1st July it is assumed that the member has left the Group. Members joining after 1st January will be paid-up until 31st March the following year.  The annual renewal fee for non‑riding members is £10.  On the anniversary of passing your RoSPA test and becoming a Full member of Suffolk Riders there is also an ongoing annual subscription to pay directly to RoADAR, and this covers, amongst other things, the cost of your three yearly retest.
