What you get for your membership

​

The membership subscription fees include £19 per year which the club must pay to England Athletics for a membership licence for each club member. You, in turn, get £2 discount at most road running events due to your England Athletics affiliation. See the England Athletics website for more details of this. The membership subscription fee also includes £2 per year, which we pay to Northern Athletics. This enables you to compete in all Northern Athletics championships and leagues in Track and Field, Road Running and Cross Country Running.

​

You get organised sessions throughout the year arranged and coordinated by the club, delivered by trained and qualified coaches and run leaders.

​

You will get access to the Members Only sections of social media. These will include a private group on Facebook – Pontefract Athletics Club - Members Only, and for the Road Runners a separate group – PAC Road Runners - Members Only.

​

Our app is where road runners can see all club road running events in the schedule and book into sessions in advance. The events can sync with mobile phone calendars too. You can access this app via a desktop browser too. 

​​

Club social events will be held throughout the year. This includes the annual Presentation of Awards Night where we celebrate the achievements of the previous calendar year.

​

Another membership option for non-participating members

​

Parents of junior athletes, for example, may wish to join as non-competitive members if they wish to attend the AGM or to seek election to the club’s management committee. This isn't for those who want to participate in road running sessions but not compete in races though. 

 

Please note that all our athletes are expected to compete in competitions against other clubs.
