Members

The club registers all full members aged 11 and over with England Athletics. If you do not want to be registered, or need to change your details, please inform the membership secretary: membership@claytonlemoors.org.uk

As a member, you are obliged to pay your subscription when it becomes due. If you cease competing for some time (due to long term injury, for example) you can become an associate member at a reduced fee, and upgrade to full membership on your return to competitive athletics. The club has many associate members who support us and we value their connection with the club. If you do not wish to remain a member then please inform the membership secretary.

Members are encouraged to keep up to date with club news by regularly visiting our website and joining our closed Facebook group: Team Clayton

We also have a very active Whatsapp Community which members are invited to join.
