We have a thriving Juniors programme, thanks largely to the initiative, effort and leadership of Ian Draper and his strong team of volunteers. The junior membership starts at age 7.
All activities involving children are supervised by DBS-certified club members. Parents, guardians, teachers etc are very welcome to attend (and may be offered an opportunity to have a go themselves!) Our policies page includes details of our safeguarding policy and safeguarding officer. We respect privacy and do not take or publish photos including recognisable children without explicit permission of a parent or guardian and the willingness of the individual(s).
The planned activities for 2024 are below.
