Membership and fees

Update (4.4.24)

The England Athletics membership system is experiencing technical difficulties and there are currently delays to processing memberships. Please bear with us while we wait for this to be resolved.

Existing members should not try to renew their membership via the website. Please instead respond to the payment request email from England Athletics.

Annual fees at a glance

Our membership fees are listed below:

  • Full Club Membership – £100

All the facilities of Belgrave Harriers are available for Full Members. This fee covers all age groups and allows members to represent the Club and wear Club kit in all competition, subject to selection in the case of some team events. Training groups are organised for members at the Millennium Arena, Battersea, and special supervised training is available for those in the youngest (Under 11 to Under 17) age groups. The fee for this tier includes the necessary England Athletics Registration Fee (currently £19).

  • Second-Claim / Higher Claim Competition Members – £50

This type of membership is for those who want to compete for Belgrave Harriers (subject to the competition being open to Second-Claim or Higher Claim Competition members) or train with Belgrave Harriers, while retaining their First-Claim status with another club. Registration with England Athletics is not required as the fee is paid by the member’s First-Claim club.

  • Supporter / Non-competitive Members – £30

This type of membership is designed for those who want to be associated with Belgrave Harriers in a supporting role (such as officiating or coaching) and those members who wish to remain connected with the club but who have no intention of training or competing. An England Athletics Registration fee is not required.

*Full year covers 1st April – 31st March. If you join as a new member from January to March the fee is inclusive of the following membership year.

What do I get for my membership?

• England Athletics affiliation and discounted entry to races
• Entry and travel costs for club competitions
• Club training across a range of disciplines covering track and field, road and cross country

• Access to apply for Athlete Support and The Club Bursary Scheme to aid in athletic pursuits and development

We strongly believe that athletics should be inclusive and available to all, and that financial circumstances should never be a barrier to participation. As such, Belgrave Harriers maintains a bursary fund available to anyone who might need financial support to enable participation in club activity. If this might apply to you, please have a conversation, which will be treated in strictest confidence, with either your club coach or the Membership Secretary.
