Junior membership renewals, rates and discounts January 2024

At the club AGM on 16 January 2024 I presented a report on the juniors section https://www.valleystriders.org.uk/juniors-report-for-agm-2023/

Included in this was the proposal for membership fees for 2024.

Membership fees for juniors for the year 1 January to 31 December 2024 will be:

  • Junior full membership (weekly training) £40 (no change)
  • Junior limited training (10 sessions or fewer) £20 (no change). It is permissible for parents to choose this at the beginning of the year and then pay an extra £20 if/when their child has come to 10 sessions to convert to full membership.
  • Juniors school year 1 will also be charged £20 but with no limit on sessions – there are no races accepting this age group in the first 8 months of the year and we offer training sessions to them when spaces permit and when ground conditions are suitable, hence the reduced rate.
  • Junior social membership (no training, no competition other than parkrun) £5 (no change)
  • Juniors reception year and younger will also be charged £5 but with no limit on sessions – there are no races accepting this age group in the year and we offer training sessions to them when spaces permit and when ground conditions are suitable, hence the reduced rate.

Regarding juniors who compete in West Yorkshire League and higher competition for which England Athletics affiliation is mandatory or who compete in adult events such as the Leeds 5k at the Brownlee Centre … they will need pay an additional £21 to cover the EA and Northern Athletics affiliation fees. This can be paid now but is not required until entering their first event .

Note that older juniors who don’t come to junior training sessions may find it cheaper to join as “Young Adults”, please email to [email protected] for information.

Some good news – most of you are entitled to some discounts on the above fees. The next 3 paragraphs explain how these discounts have been calculated, but you can skip these and just look at the table to see if you are entitled to any!

Between 2017 and 2019 we had included in the membership fee the entry fees to selected local races as an incentive to try these / take part. The races included in the scheme were all local and all suitable for all abilities. Unfortunately, the scheme fell apart in March 2020 when all races were cancelled and we felt obliged to return the value of these entry fees when members renewed for 2021.

We still want to continue this type of incentive but have now decided to do this retrospectively if profits from the previous year allow us to do so. The method will be a discount on the following year’s membership fees. We did this for 2022 and 2023 and will do so again for 2024.

In 2022/23 the junior section made a profit of £279 so we do have the funds to do it this year.

The races which had been selected were the six Peco Races (£1.50 per race for the races in January(2), February, November and December(2) 2023) and the Eccup Junior Races in June 2023 (£4), the Wetherby junior race (£3) and the Abbey Dash junior race (£3), a total value of £19 if running all of them. Note also that entry fees for the Peco Relays 2023 and Golden Acre Relay 2023 were paid by the club at time of entry, so those members who took part in all 11 will have had “free” entries worth £23.

Additionally, anyone running in a Northern or National event for a club team is awarded an additional race discount of £10 (NB in previous years race fees were paid by the club)

These discounts are capped

– firstly to a maximum of 50% of the membership fee paid in 2023. e.g. if someone was a full member for the full year in 2023 (£40), the maximum discount received would be £20. If they had joined in April 2023 (£30), the maximum would be £15. If they’d joined as a limited training member for the full year (£20); d the maximum discount would be £10

– secondly to a maximum of 50% of the fee they are paying in 2024 e,g, if they’d been a full member for the full year in 2023 (£40) but were changing to be a limited training member in 2024 (£20) the maximum discount would be £10

Membership fees are now due. Please look in the table below.

  • for full membership (code J), please pay £40 (plus £21 if you’re renewing your EA now – code JF) less any discounts
  • for limited training membership (code JL), please pay £20 (plus £21 if you’re renewing your EA now – code JLF) less any discounts
  • for social membership (code JS), please pay £5 (no discounts)

Pay to “VSAC Membership” Account number 72143878 Sort code 53-70-00. Please put your name in the reference. (Note that if your bank performs payee name checks, then the account name above may come up as “VALLEY STRIDERS ATHLETICS CLUB”.)

If you wish to resign from the club or discuss your situation (e.g. if you want to change from J to JL or vice versa), then please email [email protected]

Thank you!
