Membership is the core of the club and is required for athletes to compete at any level. There are a number of membership types and corresponding fees:

Joining Fee

There is a first time joining fee of £40 for all new members. Your club vest is included within this fee.

Annual Fee

The annual subscription fee is due on 1st. April each year and varies according to age as follows:

Seniors (19 years and over): £92.00
16-18 years: £65
11-15 years: £60

The club is able to offer reduced rates for those in full time education, non-active members and for families.

The club annual fee includes the England Athletics (EA) annual registration for athletes which is currently set at £19 and is required for any athlete to compete in UKA events. The club will collect this fee and pass it on to England Athletics.

Track Fees

A training fee of £3.00 is payable for every session attended by each athlete.

Athletes who have attained a AAA PB Level 9 performance in the previous season are entitled to reduced track fees of £1.50.

Young and senior athletes who were in the UK top ten for an event in the previous season are entitled to waived track fees.

The Membership Secretary writes to all athletes who are entitled to reduced or waived track fees prior to April each year.

Subscriptions are paid via the JoinIn website or app.
