V
S Grand Prix 2018
See www.valleystriders.org.uk/up171123.htm
for the proposed changes.
Following some discussion, we have decided to
add a W55 category so that the number of age group awards for men and women is
the same.
As our Grand Prix year runs 1 December to 30
November, the first race in the 2018 GP is next week's Peco at Golden Acre.
Adult
membership fees due
The membership rates for 1 September 2017 to
31 August 2018 were unanimously agreed at the AGM.
Over 83% of adult Valley Striders are
"competitive" members, i.e. their membership includes affiliation to
England Athletics. The renewal fee is £30, payable to
Valley Striders AC Membership account
Sort Code: 53-70-00
A/c Number: 72143878
Reference to include your name
The adult £30 competitive membership includes
£15 for V S club funds (same as last year) and £15 for E A
affiliation (up £1). Note that the E A
year is from 1 April 2018 to 31 March 2019, we collect now so as not to have to
send reminders twice a year. But if you pay the E A
component now you can change any time up to 31 March 2018 by notifying us.
To check your current category and status,
see www.valleystriders.org.uk/vsmemreg.htm
For most adult competitive members, their V S
membership expired August 2017 and their England Athletics membership will expire
March 2018. When you pay, you will see these updated to August 2018 and March
2019 respectively.
If you are not a competitive member, you'll
see a blank for your EA membership details. It is Valley Striders policy that
any member running any races during the year should be a competitive
member. This includes all the big local
races (Leeds half, Run for All 10k, Abbey Dash), also Peco XC, but does not
include parkrun i.e. if you only run parkrun you may be a social member.
These are the other membership options
available
- Competitive member, but main sport cycling
£20
- Competitive member, life member of V S £15
- Social (non-competitive) member, whether or not training with us £15
- Social (non-competitive) member, but main sport cycling £5
- Social (non-competitive) member, living outside Yorkshire £5
- Volunteer (non-competitive) member, assisting at training sessions and/or
events but not training £3
- Second claim member (i.e. a member of another club and paying E A affiliation
fee via that other club) same rates as social membership above
- Social or volunteer, life member of V S - nil
