Almost Athletes Membership

Annual renewal for current members

The membership year just ending started on 1 April 2025 and notionally lasted to 31st March 2026.  Please note:  Almost Athletes contributed a £20 for annual England Athletics affiliation from each £35 membership fee received (for that prior membership year).

Renewals be invited after the membership fee for 2026/27 has been set at the AGM on 29 April; our assessment will need to consider that England Athletics’ affiliation fee has increased by £2 per year.
