Sponsored Riders

Sponsored Riders Policy

A note to all sponsored riders who are members of Hamilton Wheelers regarding policy pertaining to this group of riders:
Definition:
A sponsored rider is one who is part of a team AND who wishes to have their name listed with CQ as a team member AND be eligible to wear a non Hamilton Wheelers jersey at Open Events.
 
Teams:
A team can be made up of members from a single club (Hamilton Wheelers) – i.e. Mainline / Coyote/ Ascot Catering or multiple club teams made up of members from a number of clubs – i.e. QSM/Data#3 and the like.
 
Change to Policy:
  • All sponsored riders who wish to be registered with CQ as part of a team are required to have their registration endorsed by Hamilton Wheelers. (Sponsored rider forms are available on the CQ website).
  • All registration forms coming to Hamilton Wheelers must be accompanied by $25 or an electronic bank transfer can be arranged beforehand
  • This $25 fee replaces the $500 fee previously paid only by single club teams.
  • The funds generated by the $25 fee are directed specifically and solely to junior development at Hamilton Wheelers, as were the previous funds from sponsored single teams.
  • This change in policy aims to provide greater equity across the sponsored riders who are Hamilton Wheelers members.
Actions:
  • Riders singularly, or as a group, need to complete the CQ Sponsored Rider Form and forward to Secretary or to PO BOX 544 VIRGINIA QLD 4014 with accompanying fee/s.
  • The Secretary will then forward the endorsed form to CQ on your behalf.
Please note:
Riders competing in Open events are required to wear a club jersey or a plain jersey, unless they have approval to wear a sponsored jersey (kit) (CQ rules).
 
Hamilton Wheelers members who are not in teams and who race in Open events are not affected by this policy change.
