Holmfirth Cycling Club launches new website and app to help more local riders get involved

Holmfirth Cycling Club has launched a new website and mobile app to make the club more accessible to
riders across the Holme Valley.

The club, which runs up to 10 rides every week, has introduced new digital tools to help both existing
and prospective members find rides, join events and keep up to date with club activity.

The launch includes two new websites: one aimed at prospective members who want to find out more
about the club, and another for existing members. The club has also launched its own mobile app,
available on both iOS and Android.

The project has been delivered free of charge to the club thanks to the support of Simon Verona, a
long-term club member and committee member who owns a software company. His involvement has
enabled Holmfirth Cycling Club to benefit from a modern digital platform without the cost that would
normally be associated with such a project.

Holmfirth Cycling Club says the new website and app reflect the need for community sports clubs to
keep pace with an increasingly digital world, where members expect information to be clear, current and
easy to access on their phone.

In addition to regular weekly rides, the club organises an annual cycling trip abroad, multiple away days
and weekends, and a wide range of social events throughout the year.

Simon Verona, who led the digital project for Holmfirth Cycling Club, said:
“People expect to be able to find information quickly and easily, especially on their phone. The new
website and app make it much simpler for members to see what is happening and for new riders to
understand what Holmfirth Cycling Club has to offer.”
“As a long-standing member of the club, it has been great to use my professional experience to give
something back. We are a very active club, with rides most days of the week, trips, weekends away
and social events, and this helps us support our members better while encouraging more local
people to get involved.”

The club believes the new website and app further strengthen its position as the prime cycling club in the
Holme Valley, offering a full programme of rides and events for cyclists across a range of abilities and
interests.
