ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF ABCC GOES “BOGOF” FOR PEDAL POWER IN 2016

Britain’s best cycle coaching conference just got even better!

Earlier in the year we asked our members for feedback on previous annual Pedal Power conferences. They told us they really value this event as it provides a great opportunity to update their coaching knowledge and to gain greater insights from across the cycling world. 90% of past attendees said the meeting was “great value” and considered Pedal Power as “time well spent”. However they also said they wanted more opportunity to meet and interact with other coaches. So for 2016 we will run a series of workshops on the Saturday afternoon, alongside the usual stellar line-up of expert speakers for the Sunday event. And just to help smooth the transition from our previous one-day event, for 2016 ABCC will meet the costs of the workshops. So buy a ticket for the Sunday and get two free workshops to help develop your coaching! Take a look at the outline program below, put the dates in your diary, and make your booking choices online in the ABCC Members section of the website, or print and fill out the lower portion of this flyer and post along with a cheque made payable to ABCC.
