Good news for Aston Hill as the CTC announce a special membership package that will provide funds for the trail centre in Buckinghamshire.

The new partnership agreement will ensure Aston Hill's future by providing funding for a team of Forestry Commission rangers who will look after the site. Aston Hill Mountain Bike Club will continue to manage the site on land owned by Forestry Commission.

Aston Hill Mountain Bike Club Senior Chairman Richard Abbott says: “I think I speak for all the guys that have worked so hard over the past year running the club when I say we are really excited about this new partnership. We have big plans for the future and with the help and cooperation of CTC and Forestry Commission hope to develop Aston Hill into the best mountain bike venue in the South of England.”

CTC's senior off-road development officer Ian Warby added: “This partnership is great news. The Aston Hill Mountain Bike club has done a fantastic job maintaining and building new trails. The new membership will fund the continued development of the site and provide support for the club.”

CTC Aston Hill Membership costs £68 and provides access during opening hours for a year, plus full CTC membership and third party insurance.
