Absolutely not! During October you can try out any DMUsport club for free! You may discover a range of new sports and maybe even find a new passion and pick up some new skills. After this, it costs £40 to join a club, with just £10 for each additional club thereafter. This means you could join two clubs for £50, or even three for £60! The key consideration is to make sure you're able to balance all of your responsibilities throughout the week!
