Club Membership
CATERING FOR ALL RUNNERS & WALKERS
THE CAVERSHAM HARRIER & ATHLETIC CLUB WELCOMES YOU
Our membership includes a full range of runners from serious, competitive runners/walkers to those seeking recreational, fitness and non-competitive activity.
Our Saturday run/walks are listed in the Club Syllabus. They start from our Clubrooms or from other chosen venues. Please check the sports draw section of Thursday's ODT each week. We can assist if you need help with transport.
Pack running and walking involves packs with participants of similar ability and interest. The slowest pack has a slower and often shorter run/walk than the medium and faster packs.
It's important you join a suitable pack. Take care not to over-reach yourself at the beginning. It is not a racing or training time. You should be able to talk with those you are with. The pack leader's task is to ensure that everyone has a worthwhile outing. Pack running/walking involves staying together. On the return journey and when close to "home" the pack often stretches out.
Race event entries are by choice. The Club has a few trophy events in its winter programme. If you wish to enter the Athletics Otago races and relays, this is done through our entry steward or through filling in the race entry book. Plenty of reminders are given in notices, newsletters and the syllabus about forthcoming events and entry dates.
You will see in the syllabus that when these Athletics Otago events are held, a Saturday Club run/walk is scheduled for those members not entered.
Afternoon Tea: A small number of Club days are afternoon tea days when members contribute a plate. This is identified in the syllabus.
A Child Care Creche operates on many Saturdays at a cost of $2.00 per child. Please confirm in advance with Maria Sleeman on 454 3915 for the coming Saturday.
The Club uniform is subsidised by the Club and can be purchased from The Frontrunner at 261 George Street, situated between the entrances of the Golden Centre Mall and the Meridian Mall. See Brian Watkins for our special 15% discount on all footwear. You might like to wait until you are part of the Club before purchasing your uniform.
Subscriptions are listed in the syllabus. Registered members are able to take part in Athletics Otago events. Members who are "not registered" with Athletics Otago enjoy full membership of the Caversham Club. You are asked to pay subscriptions promptly, by mid-May each year to the Club Treasurer.
Incentive Scheme: The Club has an incentive scheme involving a small number of training grants for Caversham athletes who are competing in both Club and Athletics Otago/external events and performing at a good level.
We will appoint a Club member to assist your early days of joining and getting to know us at Caversham.
