Club Membership - Request a Taster Session and then Join Us
We always welcome new members, whether you wish to train, compete or volunteer to help our club
We have five types of membership:
- Full or Competitive
- Associate or Non-Competitive (seniors only)
- Second Claim (you may join us as a second claim member if you have another first claim club)
- Volunteer (this can be as a coach, an official or club helper)
- Life (Trustees may grant life membership so a member who has made a significant contribution to the success of the club either as a competitor or a volunteer)
We administer membership through our Attendli membership system. We collect membership fees, training fees and other club purchases through this system. All members or parents/carers of members will receive a log in to the system. The link to the system is here: https://buryac.attendli.com/login.php
Annual Membership Fees for 2026/27
The club membership year falls in line with the England Athletics membership year, running from 1st April to 31st March each year. New members joining the club between 1st April and 31st December will be required to pay the full annual fee. New members wishing to join the club between 1st January and 28th February will pay quarter of the full annual fee. Members joining from 1st March will pay the full membership fee but their membership will be valid until 31st March the following year.
The Trustees have set the fee structure for 2026/7 as:
Seniors – Full Competitive membership – £60 (this includes the England Athletics registration fee of £23 and the Northern Athletics affiliation fee of £2).
Seniors – Second claim membership – £40
Seniors – Associate or Non-competitive membership – £40

Under 10s – Full membership – £25 (under 10s are not required to pay the EA registration fee)
Volunteers – £0 (although there will be a facility for gift donations)
Hardship – £0 (at the discretion of the membership secretary)
We ask all members to exercise their powers as a member of the club in a way that they decide in good faith would be likely to further the purposes of the club.
Full membership is required to compete for the club (other than for second claim members who will have paid EA registration as part of their first claim club membership).
Training Fees for 2026/27
The standard training fee for a session will remain at £4. This charge is made to contribute towards the costs for managing the track facility. The trustees regularly review this, given the financial challenges faced by all clubs.
The Club’s on-line Attendli membership system allows members to pay in advance for sessions for the month. The charge for this is £20 per month for a single member. We also offer a £15 per month fee for a second family member or £50 for a family of three or more. Otherwise training fees are charged in arrears for the sessions that the member has participated in. Charges are claimed on the 25th day of each month and will be collected on the 2nd day of the following month.
Taster Sessions
We offer 4 taster sessions before we ask for a commitment to membership. The £4 training fee is applicable to these sessions. At the conclusion of the final session a membership request MUST be made to continue training with the club.
If you are interested in taster sessions or taking part, whether as an active member or in any other role (for example volunteering, officiating, coaching, making the tea!) then please complete the enquiry form below. PLEASE NOTE IF YOU ARE A PARENT/CARER FILLING IN THE FORM ON BEHALF OF YOUR CHILD IT IS YOUR CHILD’S DATE OF BIRTH THAT SHOULD BE PROVIDED.
If you would like some additional information then please call our club secretary Helen Vaughan on 07802 436 589. Please remember, everyone involved at the club is a volunteer and we may not be able to respond to your enquiry immediately.
Please be aware that we do not usually coach children under the age of 7.
Membership Renewal
Membership of Bury Athletic Club renews on 1st April each year. PLEASE NOTE THAT RENEWAL TAKES PLACE AUTOMATICALLY. In line with UKA Athletics Rule G2 S2 (12) that states that resignation from a club must be done in writing. This can be done by way of an email from the member wishing to resign, or the parent/carer of the member wishing to resign if the member is under the age of 16. If a member/parent of a member wishes to resign from the club they should email the membership secretary, Mark Granby, on mark@thegranbys.co.uk
Due to our use of the Attendli system there is no requirement to re-register membership each year and renewal fees will be collected automatically on the 1st April. However, we would urge all members or their parents/carers to ensure that profile details on the Attendli system are accurate and they should be updated if they are not currently accurate. This can be done via the link Login (attendli.com)
Members should also check the accuracy of the information on their profile on the England Athletics Portal https://myathleticsportal.englandathletics.org/Account/Login
Please ensure that your contact details regularly updated (address, telephone number, school / college etc.) on both Attendli and the England Athletics Portal.
