etiquette of changing first claim club

What is the etiquette of changing clubs. I've been with a club for 4 years but moving to a more racing focused team. I will still be remaining second claim for my current club but do I need to let them know I'm moving?

Frankly, in real life & business people aren't that gracious.But this is cycling so more important.
its a club. no etiquette required. you politely tell them you're off, cheers, its not you its me, so long and thanks for all the fish.
join new club, earn right to be spoken to and old club pople won't talk to you as you are now in a different.
etiquette to leave? its a bicycle club not the Mafia.

If you've had some massive bust-up then flounce off with no regard for them, but otherwise say good-bye and thank them for 4 years.
As for moving, I would drop a note to my current club and formally let them know. It only takes a minute to do.

I'm a member of 2 clubs (which is really odd because I've never been an advocate of multi-club membership) - it's purely because I race with one, but find the club rides of the other are more convenient atm.
I always thought that local clubs should allow other local clubs to join in their club rides - but I can see how that could easily be abused to the detriment of one club - and quite frankly, the cost is minimal ... well - until you start buying individual club kit ....
