Membership Benefits |
||
Our membership year runs from 1st April to 31st March and for the paltry fee you get all the benefits below and more.
|
Newcomers joining after 31st August get a free period up to 31st March. | |
|
You can train on the road with other club members twice a week (Tuesdays and Thursdays). | |
|
Our club hires the SK Stadium for sole use on a Wednesday so you can use the track facilities for training at a greatly reduced price. | |
|
Your membership fee also includes a levy to England Athletics - our governing body. This is your competition license fee which entitles you to compete in any athletics discipline in the UK. It can be a Road Race, a Track and Field event or a Cross Country race. You also get a discount on entering road races (currently £2). You should receive you membership card * within a few months of joining the club. | |
As a road runner you will normally be responsible for entering races yourself. However as a club member, should you wish, you may also want to have a go at a T&F event. We enter the Lincs league which is a good starting point if your have never competed on the track. We also enter the Northern league which is of a higher standard. Details of the relevant captain can be found on the club's main website or contact the club secretary. You may also fancy having a go at X/C - again we enter the Lincs league and there is also the Lincs, Northern and National championships. | |
You are covered by 'Third Party' liability insurance cover when you are training or competing in any club organised event. | |
Team competition: As a road runner, when you enter road races you probably won't be aware of other club members who may have entered the same event. There is a good chance that there may be enough of us to form a team and maybe lucky enough to go on and win a team prize. It is therefore important for you to know that a team can be disqualified if one of the team members isn't wearing a club vest. It is also a strict requirement if you are entering a T&F or X/C event.

* England Athletics membership cards are normally sent out in bulk from April onwards - so new members will need to wait until then for their cards. If you haven't received you card within a reasonable time contact the membership secretary. Once you have your card you can change your password and edit your details (such as address change) or even add a photo. Don't forget to redeem your £5 sweatshop voucher.
