Multiple club membership

[Truck]

Dear All.
Been running for almost 10 years now, but have only been out in the hills for a few of those.
I figure its time to link up with a club (or two) now that I'm hoping to run bigger and better things.
What are the rules on being a member of one than one club?

Cheers for your advice in advance.

RULE 3 CLUB MEMBERSHIP
(1) First Claim Club. The first Club joined by athletes will be known as
their First Claim Club and will remain so until they give notice that they wish
to terminate their membership of that Club. Such termination will only be
effective once all outstanding dues to the Club have been paid. An athlete who
is a member of a First Claim Club is defined hereafter as a First Claim
member. If athletes wish to commence a new First Claim Club membership
then they must comply with the requirements set out in Rules 5 & 6 below.
Once athletes have represented a Club in First Claim Open Team Competition
they are ineligible to compete for another Club in Open Team Competition
until the transfer process to that Club has been completed in accordance with
these Rules (i.e. after six months or a period of partial or total exemption
under those Rules).
(2) Second Claim Club. Notwithstanding athletes having a First Claim
Club as defined in (1) above they are permitted to become a member of a
Second Claim Club. Whilst this may be for social, coaching or other reasons
that athlete may compete for that Club in competitions which specifically state
in rules that its competition is open to Second Claim members. Such an athlete
is hereafter defined as a Second Claim member.

To echo Stagger: definitive answer is here, and additional guidance here (rule 9).
Don't get caught up in what people think the rules might or should be.
