Membership

We are now fully subscribed for membership during 2011 / 2012

In order to maintain the quality and safety of our training sessions we limit the number of membership slots that are available. We begin our membership year on the 1st of October and offer membership to existing members, those on a waiting list and then general inquiries.

Every year we inevitably have members that either move away from the area, take up a new sport etc and do not renew their membership. If you are interested in joining the waiting list for the year beginning 1st October 2012 and being contacted in September please contact the Membership Secretary (membership@fulontri.com) for more information.

Please note, the membership year (and subs) runs from 1st October regardless of the time of year you join.

Payment

We encourage all members to transfer the money via an on-line transfer to the FOT bank account: Please contact the Membership Secretary at membership@fulontri.com for details. When doing an on-line transfer please remember to put your initial and name as reference so that we can trace your payment. Please only one transfer per person to prevent any confusion.

Membership categories

Full membership This gives you access to all our training sessions free of charge.

However, a note about swim sessions: We only have limited pool space for swimming and being a Full member unfortunately does not guarantee you pool time depending on demand on any given Thursday night

There is a cap on numbers of Full members and once that is reached you will be offered Associate membership as long as the total membership cap for the year has not been reached.

Associate Membership (non-swimming membership) Associate membership offers the same training opportunities as full membership, with the exception of the swim sessions. In off peak times of the year when there is available space, Associate members may be able to attend Thursday evening swim sessions on payment of £5. However Full members have priority on swim places and Associates will be asked to swim during the second swim session if the first is particularly busy. During busy periods of the year the Committee must limit swim sessions to Full members only.

Membership Prices The membership prices for the 2011-2012 season, starting 1 October 2011 are as follows:

Full Membership - £115 (including £5 UKA race licence fee)
Associate Membership - £65 (including £5 UKA race licence fee) UKA Race Licence - this enables you to race in Surrey League Cross Country races for Ful-On Tri and also gives you money off entries for some other running races during the season.

When racing for Ful-On Tri Club, please use the Club name FUL-ON TRI on entry forms.

Tri before signing up

We have "Come and Tri" sessions on a Thursday night - this is your best opportunity to come and get to know the club before joining. You can attend 3 sessions as a non-member. Each session costs £10. We meet in the foyer of Virgin Active Fulham Pools, Lillie Road at 7.30pm for an 8.00pm start (NB the run usually starts at 7.45 p.m.) Bring kit for a swim, spin class and outdoor run (you can do 2 out of the 3 activities). The evening finishes at around 10.00pm. During busier times of the year members will have priority during the swim sessions and you may be asked to swim in the 9 p.m. session, so come ready for a run first!

The club is very social, and most of our club nights finish with a few drinks in the pub afterwards. For more details of training sessions and locations, take a look at the Weekly Timetable and Coaches Corner sections.

Ful-On Tri is a British Triathlon affiliated club and we encourage all members to join the British Triathlon Federation.
