Joining the Doddlers
Come and Try
New members are encouraged to attend training for ‘a few’ sessions to try us out. Then, if they wish to continue to come along, we ask that they join us by becoming a member.
For complete beginners, we recommend our bi-annual Couch to 5k course. This is completely free and can be done either with or without a membership.
