We are aware that this is not the same for all clubs, some of whom are facing a reduction in membership and income. You will know that the club affiliation fees (£400 per club) were due for payment on 01 January, however we have agreed to waive these fees for all clubs that were members last year and extend your club membership to the end of 2021. We will refund the clubs that have paid for this year. For clubs that were not members last year, please get in touch with us to discuss your membership for this year.
