How to renew/buy your licence and join Westmorland, Bootle and Barrow clubs – latest update January 16
We understand that some riders are having difficulty in finding out how to buy their licence for 2023. Well, thanks to the Ripon Club, they have put on-line a document that tells you clearly how to register and buy your licence. We have lifted it from their website without requesting to do so, but in these difficult times thrust on the sport by our governing body, we are sure the Ripon guys and gals will be only too happy to share their information.
Here is the link:

*****************************************
In addition to the above, here are further details which may help. This actually refers to the Westmorland Club but the process remains the same if the link is altered to suit the club for which you are trying to contact, assuming the club has set up a membership page.
Westmorland MC Club Membership – 2023 and also Bootle SC
Club membership renewals and initial applications for Westmorland MCC membership for 2023 are now being managed through the new ACU Sports 80 online system. All you need to do is to click on the following link, enter your details and make the payment (all online). The link is https://wwwwestmorlandmotorclub.sport80-clubs.com/
and for the Bootle Scrambles Club the link is https://bootlesc.sport80-clubs.com/memberships/407/join
and for the Barrow Club the link is https://barrowdmc.sport80-clubs.com/memberships/481/join
Please note there is NO “www” prefix to the Bootle link.
Very soon it will be possible to join the Barrow club the same way but currently there is a technical problem that needs to be overcome.
It is VERY important that ALL member details are completed as without a totally completed form, the system will not approve a licence.
