What's the difference between First Claim and Second Claim?
The first athletics club or running club you join, becomes your First Claim club and you would compete in all events wearing your club colours. Under some circumstances, you might also want to join another club (which would then be your second claim club). For example, you may join Royston Runners for the cross-country events (and the social side of life!) but you may also want to compete in athletics track events, in which case you could join a second club that specialised in track competitions
If you then entered a marathon or a cross-country event, you would put Royston Runners as your affiliated club, but if you took part in a track event, you would enter under the name of your second club
There are more details are on the UK Athletics website (see Rules for Competitions, rules 4 and 5), along with details of the rules of how to move from one club to another
