TANDEM CLUB - WESSEX REGION

Throughout the UK over 40 Regional Officers organise Tandem Club activities on a local basis. Our local region is Wessex which covers the BH, DT, SO and SP post code areas. Currently we have about 90 members. 

We organise a varied annual programme of monthly rides with different start points and covering different distances. During the year we aim to offer something for everyone from beginners to experienced harder riders.
Social events include an annual regional lunch and a summer BBQ.

Our members are a friendly bunch and we would welcome you to join us on one of our led rides, whether you are a tandem club member, or prospective member, or even if you are just considering buying your first tandem, but are still on solo bikes at present.

If you would like to find out more please contact Sheila Ward, the Wessex Regional Officer

THE TANDEM CLUB

The Tandem Club was formed in the UK in 1971 primarily to provide otherwise unobtainable spare parts and technical advice on how to maintain older machines. Since then the Club has developed along with the increased interest in tandems, extending the range of services and benefits it offers to its members, and currently the Club has a world-wide membership of over 5,000 members. 

Many events are organised by members throughout the year including: 
  • family rides
  • day rides
  • Hostelling or camping weekends
  • An annual national tandem rally
  • An annual international tandem rally.

Members of the Club also benefit from:
  • Bi-monthly Journal - packed with news and views on the tandeming scene
  • Technical advice
  • Handbook - full of information about tandems with a special section on spares.
  • A strong and active network of local groups
  • Advice for disabled or handicapped riders 
  • Third party insurance cover - as a Tandem Club member, you are covered by the Club's insurance whenever you are cycling socially in the UK

You do not have to own a tandem to join the Club. Many people in fact become members to learn more about tandems, before buying one to suit their own individual needs.

The annual subscription is a modest one so why not send in an
