How to join
What we expect
We are keen that all members should get the most they can from the club while understanding that athletics has a different priority for different members and that some will want to do more than others. The following notes are intended to give guidance on the broad expectation the club has of members:
- Members are expected to participate fully in the club so that the enjoyment and success of all can be enhanced. This means taking part in team events, whenever possible, or helping out in other ways to try to make events successful.
- All members are expected to treat each other with respect and to adopt the club’s equal opportunities policy.
- It is important that all activities are carried out safely. Equipment should be used only as appropriate for the relevant event. Members should NEVER cross the infield at the track except when part of a supervised group of throwers or taking part in a throwing event.
- All members should be aware of the activities of other athletes and avoid getting in each other’s way, through, for example, poor lane discipline.
FAQs
We have a big mixed ability group of all ages from 16 to 80+ which goes out on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays as well as a Women’s Running Group and Monday Night Group on Mondays at the track. Wednesday is probably the best day to book onto and see if you like it. We’re very happy for you to come along two or three times completely free before joining. Most people enjoy it and many have been coming along for years. It’s a big friendly group, trying to improve, or minimise decline. You’ll be made very welcome.
For athletes under 15 years old, we run the Young Athletes Academy which is at capacity and we ask that you join the waiting list by emailing [email protected]. We then invite parent/carers and athletes to attend the induction session at the track or by video which explains how the academy work and important safety information.
Although we are okay for seniors and masters to just book in on a Wednesday for the running groups at the track, that is not so easy for track and field, namely Sprints, Jumps and Throws, it is best to email [email protected] first to indicate what you are interested in so that we can arrange for you to meet the right coach.
Yes, you can come along on a trial basis for three weeks to decide whether you want to join and there are many people who can help you decide what to get involved in!
But note, young athletes must attend an induction evening first for the Monday Academy – after the two inductions we give you two weeks to decide whether to join.
