Membership

Along with the many mental and physical benefits of running, there are a number of other benefits you’ll enjoy as part of our club, including:

  • Membership of the longest-standing running club in Calne. We foster a friendly, inclusive environment, and of course a little hard work on training nights.
  • Membership of England Athletics, which offers benefits including reduced rate entry to races along with various discounts.
  • Training sessions run by the club’s UKA qualified coaches.
  • Social runs led by UKA qualified run leaders.
  • The chance to run for the club and earn the club points in the leagues we partake in, namely those organised by Wiltshire Athletic Association.
  • The fun of taking part in our Club Championship (winners being announced at the annual Christmas Party).
  • The chance to become a member of the running club family and take part in a variety of social runs that are regularly organised by club members outside of training nights.

During the month of March, please email the membership Secretary, Celia Stevens, before trying to join.

Membership fees

The annual membership fee is £30. The club uses this fee to:

  • Pay your individual £18 England Athletics affiliation fee
  • Cover online subscription fees
  • Pay Beversbrook Sports Facility for use of its grounds for summer training and as a meeting point
  • Training for coaches and run leaders
  • Any equipment needed

Our registration year runs from April 1st to March 31st and the fees remain the same at whatever point you join the club. This is because we have to pay England Athletics the full fee regardless of when you join. If you are new to England Athletics and you join during January to March, the membership covers you until March 31st the following year.
