England Athletics Affiliation Fees 2013-17 Update

EA (finally) consulted the clubs on the increased affiliation fee proposals.

After three regional meetings, EA have proposed/decided that ALL athletes will pay a £10 affiliation fee. They decided the following

• All individual athletes will pay a flat fee of £10 irrespective of age or discipline. (The £10 fee will also apply to the optional Under 11s scheme. Details on the benefits pack for this scheme will be communicated in the New Year.)
• The club and affiliated bodies registration fee will remain at £50.
• The processes for clubs to affiliate and register athletes will be as in the current year.
• Upgrades to the ‘Trinity’ member portal for clubs and athletes will be undertaken to make it more ‘user friendly’. We would like to thank those people who have given specific input on this matter.
