How to join
New players are always welcome to the council session on Wednesday evenings. Our club members tend to dominate the numbers there, but it is nonetheless an open session to which all players are welcome. This session is intended for people who have some previous experience of the game.
The club activities consist of league competition, participation in summer tournaments, friendly matches against other local clubs, and, when the weather permits, outdoor games in local parks. There are also occasional purely social gatherings.
If you wish to participate in these club activities, then you are encouraged to join. However, be aware that the league season (normally October through March) is planned some time in advance, and squad sizes are limited to ensure that members of each squad can train properly as a team and get to play in the majority of their matches. Therefore, joining the club in mid-season will not guarantee your participation in already scheduled league matches. It does mean, though, that we can plan the following season's entries according to the numbers of squads we can assemble.
The club membership fee for the current year (September 2010 to August 2011) is £15 for league players and £10 for non-league players. In addition there is a £5 fee per match played (league or non-league) and per training session. These charges are used to maintain our affiliation with the English Volleyball Association, to pay entry fees to league competitions, to pay hall fees for matches and training, and to maintain a supply of good quality volleyball equipment and team shirts.
