Never done it before
New Members Day, twice a year, free: arrive 10.30am, taster session 11.30am, bring trainers and a water bottle. Kickoff, the four-week beginner programme, starts straight after, so you join regular training in week five. The touch version follows in October.
What they don't say
- The Clapham Common session has no published postcode; SW4 9DE is the common's south side and is a locator, not the club's own address.
Every fact here was checked on 10 September 2026, against 5 sources. Training nights and fees change, so if something is out of date, tell us.
Hear when something new is added.
New clubs, changed training nights, and the occasional weekend. No more than that.
Or come and meet people all at once.
A weekend away with a group of gay men, and nothing to prove.
