DOCV Values

What we do – Our positive behaviours

Our club culture is as an immune system – we need to keep it healthy and don’t let it get run down, so:

• We treat all club members, guests, committee and members of the public with respect, and in a polite and courteous manner
• We welcome guests and new members in a warm and friendly way
• We bring new people into the group, and we don’t leave them on the outside
• We communicate in a way that is open, positive, and not intimidating
• We act honestly, sincerely and with integrity
• We accept personal responsibility for our own actions
• If we get things wrong then we acknowledge it, and we work to make things right
• We act openly and fairly – we don’t play favourites, and we ensure everyone has equal opportunities
• We understand that we are as different as the bikes we own and ride. We embrace diversity
• We accept all members for who they are, and the value they bring to the club
• We respect others' opinions even if we don’t agree. We seek to understand instead of arguing the point
• We don’t just celebrate high-achievers, we celebrate all achievers
• We encourage others instead of criticising them
• We make our club a great place for everyone - for men, women, and families
