Club MembershipInitially you do not have to be a member of the club and you may attend any of the club training evenings and simply pay the appropriate training fees. We normally allow a period of approximately 4 weeks to give you time to decide whether or not athletics is for you. After this if you decide to continue training with the club we will expect you to apply for membership.

career. Before applying for membership you should have enquired about the facilities, privileges and
