Welcome Celebrations, Manchester Central

Cyclists are expected to arrive at Manchester Central at approximately 4.30pm after a challenging 230 mile journey. 

You are welcome to collect your conference badge prior to their arrival.

 

Drinks Reception, Manchester Cathedral

The 2022 conference welcomes you in a Grade I listed masterpiece in the heart of the Medieval Quarter. Originally a collegiate church in Henry V’s reign, Manchester Cathedral been a place of welcome and hospitality for over 1300 years. Join us on Tuesday 14 June at 6.45pm, and remember to wear your conference badge.

Our under 35's – delegates or not – are invited to book a ticket to attend the NextGen ‘after-party’ from 8pm.

 

Support our conference charities

Every year the BCO raises money for charity. This is integral to taking part in the cycling challenge, but we also hope that every delegate will take two minutes to donate to one of our two mental health charities this year:


DONATE TO CALM


DONATE TO SHOUT 85258
