Subscriptions:

Subscriptions are due on May 1st each year. Prospective new members will be allowed two weeks maximum before they must pay the club subscription, but must pay the track fee from the outset. Anyone in arrears wil not be able to compete until payment is received. Fees have been kept low to encourage athletes of all ages:

* This is a fee set by Kirklees Council for the use of the facilities at Leeds Road Playing Fields. This charge is collected by a representative of the club on training nights in the Football Academy building entrance lobby . Coaches do not pay the fee if they are directly responsible for coaching a group . Otherwise they must pay as normal

For competitions each club member must be registered with 'England Athletics' and pay the annual members affiliation fee of £5 from April 2008. For ease of administration, the club annual subscription rates include this fee and will increase to cover any rise.

Senior members wishing to compete in the Northern Athletics track and field league should ensure their subscriptions are paid in April so they are registered before the competition starts in May.
