NEW MEMBERS:

New members are welcome to join Clonliffe Harriers at any time of the year. To join Clonliffe Harriers could not be more straightforward. It is simply a matter of coming along on a Tuesday or Thursday night to the Clonliffe clubhouse situated just inside Gate no.3 of the Morton Stadium, Santry. As training commences at 7 p.m. it is suggested that new members should arrive at approximately 6.45 p.m.

Juvenile Members (ages 8 to 16): On their first night juvenile members must be accompanied by a parent or guardian who should come to the Clonliffe clubhouse and ask for Gladys Cooper. Gladys is the juvenile captain and she will put the new juvenile member with the appropriate group coach, come ready to train. You are welcome to try us out for a week or two and at that stage if you have decided to join the club it is simply a matter of completing an application form, paying your membership fee and you will then be registered with Clonliffe Harriers as a member of the club with Athletics Ireland.

Junior, Senior and Master Men: Again it is simply a matter of coming to the Clonliffe clubhouse on a Tuesday or Thursday night at approximately 6.45 p.m. and asking for the club captain Joe Cooper. Joe will introduce you to the appropriate group coach/group and again you are welcome to try us out for a week or two before joining Clonliffe Harriers.

Lady Members (including beginners): You should again come to the clubhouse at 6.45 p.m. on a Tuesday or a Thursday and ask for the Ladies captain Pamela Cooper or if she is not available should ask for the Ladies coaches Ben Lawler or Eugene Coppinger.
