Almost Athletes Membership

Annual renewal for current members is now invited.

Existing members should have received a payment link from England Athletics for the current membership year, which is from 1 April 2026 until 31st March 2027.

At our recent AGM we agreed an annual fee of £40 for this year (£20 for second claim).

Pease note that we contribute £23 per ‘first claim’ member for England Athletics affiliation.

Applications from new members

Applications from new members are also invited. Usually, if you decide you want to join (and you can do a trial run with us any Wednesday), you would simply complete the following application form – this process will recommence soon.

This has two stages, the Application Form (see below) and Payment. When the Application stage is complete, Mark Wreford-Bush, our Membership Secretary, will send you details of how to pay online using Stripe, and your membership will last until 31st March 2027.

Membership is £40 per year including EA affiliation. Current members of another EA affiliated club can apply for second claim membership to Almost Athletes for the reduced fee of £20, for the same time period.

When we get to 1st January 2027, if you apply between then and the end of March 2027, you would gain a few extra months and your membership would last until 31 March 2028 (as opposed to paying the annual fee for just a few weeks of membership).

New Members’ Application Form

We prefer that our form be completed online, see below, which is then automatically sent to us by email. However, there is the alternate option of using a printed form – please email the club at almostathletes@hotmail.com if you would like one. If you are able to send your completed form as a PDF to the same address, please do so. Otherwise email us to arrange post of collection of your form.
