Planting out strawberries now?

Hi all,
I have 30x 2 year old strawberries in pots that I grew on from runners last year. Originally these were for my sister, but she doesn't have room now, and since I've just been allocated an allotment I was wondering if I could plant them out now? Not normally a recommended time to do it, I know, but would they come to any harm? The plants are healthy and I am on the south coast. The other option would be just to leave them outside in pots over winter and plant in the spring.
thanks!

Strawbs are very very hardy, so it would only be a bit tricky if they were tiny little things, and the site had heavy, waterlogged clay just now.
