Associate Membership is open to anyone whose aims and objectives are the same as SBUG but are not members of Bicycle NSW. Associate Members can participate in all SBUG activities, including attending, speaking, and voting at all meetings, but cannot hold executive positions. If an associate member subsequently joins Bicycle NSW, membership will be upgraded to Full Membership when the Membership Secretary is informed of the Bicycle NSW membership number
and expiry date.
