Joining our Club

We have a limited number of coaches so, for safety, we are careful about numbers and you may be put on a waiting list.

Please do not turn up on a training night without first contacting us when will need the following
- Athlete's full name
- date of birth
- a contact email
- name of the parent or guardian

When there are places available to join you may be asked to attend a new members meeting before your first training session

The first two training sessions are free but after that you will be asked to complete our membership application form and pay the annual subscription fee (subs) by bank transfer and set up the training fee standing order

Training fees will apply to all members (see 'Annual fees' on this page)

Remember, membership requires a commitment to compete for the club
Regular attendance at training and taking part in competitions helps athletes progress more quickly.

Membership notes



Competitions:
For competitions each club member must be registered with 'England Athletics' and pay the current annual members affiliation fee. For ease of administration, the club annual subscription rates include this fee and will increase to cover any rise. Athletes should ensure their subscriptions are paid by April so they are registered before competition starts

Club colours:
These must be worn in all races. The club colours are shown in the image at the top of this page and are the main ones used in this website. The vest is available for purchase from the club along with other items of club clothing. We keep a small number of club vests but all other items we may supply have to be ordered individually. Shorts and other clothing must be provided by the athlete
