Tell the club you're new or a member

Some clubs ask first-time visitors whether they're already a member or new. A Club Routes account doesn't make you a member; this tells the club where you are.

The first time you visit

1. Tap I'm already a member, or I'm new to followed by the club's name.
2. If you're new, you'll see how joining works: usually some taster runs, then joining. Tap See the next run to carry on.

Some clubs show a card on the Next run tab instead, with How joining works and I'm a member.

While you're new

The Next run tab says You're visiting as a guest, and counts your taster runs ("Taster run 2 of 3"). It counts past club runs you tapped I'm going on, so tap I'm coming for a taster run before each one.

If the club takes joining online, tap Join online there when you're ready. See Join or renew your club membership.

When you've joined

Tap I've already joined in the welcome, or open Settings on the Me tab, then Account, and tap I've joined. Clubs without joining online also show I've joined the club on the Next run tab.

• If the club takes joining online, sign in with the email address you joined with, and we look you up on its members list. If you're on it, you're a member straight away. If your membership has ended, you're asked to renew. If you're not found, the committee checks.
• Otherwise, tap Yes, I'm a member. If you're signed in, you can tick I've sent my membership form to the club.

To change your answer, tap Change in the same place.

Once you're a member, you can see the club's other groups, get its member offers and use your member card. See Show your member card.

Who sees it

The committee sees your name, what you've said and how many taster runs you've done, so it can check against its membership list. It can set you back to new if you're not on it.
