England Athletics Affiliation

The first running club you ever join is known as your "first claim club". This means you can race for the club in the disciplines for which the club is affiliated to a national body.  Wimbledon Windmilers is affiliated to England Athletics for Road Running and Cross Country. 
 
If Windmilers is your first ever running club, and you choose to pay for affiliation to England Athletics, Windmilers will be your first claim club for road running and cross country.  You get a discount on races, and the club gets credit for your performance.  However, if you have previously been a member of another club affiliated for road running and cross country, that club remains your first claim club, even if you have let your membership lapse.

We do welcome second claim members - there can be good reasons for wanting to be in more than one club.  But if you want to run for the Windmilers, ask the Windmilers Membership Secretary  about how to transfer your first claim to Windmilers
