Your commitment as a member:
Show up on time to workouts, if you are going to be late for a park workout call John and find out where to meet the group in the park. This saves unnecessary waiting.
Be respectful and courteous to other members. Our membership is a colourful considerate group and remember Everybody is welcome.
Keep club and coaching fees and your contact information up to date. If are having financial difficulties please quietly discuss this with one of the board members, an arrangement may be able to be worked out.
The club requires you to volunteer at both club hosted races. You may run in one or both of the races, but if you are running an outside volunteer must be provided to help with the race. To be eligible for Club sponsorship at Nationals, and Relay entry subsidies, this is a requirement.
