We operate a Child Protection Policy, with two named child protection officers who can deal with any problems that might arise.
Social events are organised, including an Annual Awards Presentation Evening.
The track is close to a number of country footpaths and Warwick University playing fields for off road training.
Athletes may only compete for the club if they are registered members. It is possible to "pay at the desk" to use the track, but for anyone wishing to use the facilities regularly (and benefitting from the coaches, who give their time for free) a club membership is the most economic option.
Membership forms are available at the Clubhouse.
On initial payment (cheques made payable to "Coventry Godiva Harriers") a passport size photo is also required, to form part of the University-supplied pass.
You may offer your support to the club by becoming an Associate Member for a payment of £10. Parents are also encouraged to become involved - there is always a need for people to qualify as coaches, and/or as officials to help at the various fixtures.
