Membership

Membership year 2024-2025

Subscriptions are now due, there follows though a few notes on the process…

  1. Every member will be registered with England Athletics – whether you are a competing member or not (e.g., a social member)
  2. Note that a family membership is made up of two competing members and two non-competing members.
  3. If you have bought a family membership but have more than 2 that want to compete additional competing members can be added at £19 each
  4. We are asking everyone to complete a full set of details for the application process. There is no renewal shortcut as changes get missed and it makes the administration far more difficult.
  5. Your registration details (including URN) will be sent via email by England Athletics direct to you, this will happen sometime in April/May. Existing URNs will remain valid in the meantime.
  6. Every member can go online and update their details on the England Athletics website.
  7. Once again as in previous years you must separately complete and submit your details and also then pay.
  8. The membership year runs from 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2025.

Tuesday Club Training

Adult members meet weekly on Tuesday evenings at 18:45 at Brackenbury Sports Centre, High Road East, Old Felixstowe, please check the calendar for the schedule.

Our club training sessions are suitable for all abilities, fast or slow, generally starting with a mile warm-up followed by a speed, hill or ‘fun’ session. Following a cool down run back to Brackenbury the night is finished with a stretching session. Anyone coming along should be able to cover a minimum of a couple of miles but speed is not important.

Visitors and prospective members are invited to join us for one or two Tuesday Club Trainings to try it out before we ask that they sign up as full members.

Prospective and new members are suggested to contact the Membership Secretary for more information membership@frr.org.uk.
