ADMISSION OF NEW MEMBERS POLICY STATEMENT

 Dorchester Athletic Club adheres to UK Athletics’ principle of a club for all and welcomes applications for membership from all sections of the community. Anyone wishing to support the club by becoming an assistant coach, official or club helper is also welcome.

 There may be times, however, when it becomes necessary to place a moratorium on admission to certain training groups if the ratio of athletes to coaches and helpers becomes such that group activities are likely to become unmanageable.

 If this should occur, the club will maintain a waiting list of admission to the relevant group(s). The club reserves the right, however, to admit athletes of proven ability at any particular time, notwithstanding that a moratorium may be in place.
