This is a reminder to all club members that annual subscriptions were due on 1st January and should be paid as soon as possible.
Welsh Athletic registration fees also have to be paid to enable athletes to compete and these must be paid along with your club subscription. The club then pays them over to Welsh Athletics.
The club is an entirely voluntary organisation (nobody gets paid) so we need you to pay your subscriptions so that we can continue to provide to you the facilities that you need.
