England Athletics affiliation

Simon Atkin

Following a discussion at our club meeting last week i wondered if anyone has had their competion licence from England Athletics yet?

 It seems that hardly anyone in our club has been issued with their licence stating that they are affiliated to England Athletics, although according to the EA website 70% of all Competition licences were issued before Christmas 07, and the rest should have been just after.  Renewals will be sent out from 20th March!

At some point we will have to quote our licence number in order to enter races as affiliated runners, but how can that be enforced when EA haven't issued the licences?

Anyone got any thought?

How many in your club have been sent a licence?

My cheque/details were sent off by my club before Xmas but I'm still waiting.  Unsurprisingly the cheque was cashed very promptly!  I emailed EA last week to ask for an update but no response.  Plan to re-send the email every couple of days till they get fed up with me and deign to answer.

Had mine in January, Mrs 200 (who belongs to a different club) got hers soon after.

Entry forms for races from 1 April should request your CL number.  If you haven't get it, email EA & they can tell you what it will be before your card arrives.

Received one from my second claim club but not for my first - I think it is something to do with the club not sending the info off to EA.

I got mine about three weeks ago, seems to of taken ages. I just presumed that it was because I was at the end of the world being in Cornwall!

No competition license yet.
Are people aware that EA charges to update club details when a runner moves club? This applies even if you have not run for the club for some years. There seems to be an obvious conflict with EU Data Protection rules as they are not keeping personal data up to date. Cannot understand why a separate charge is required when an annual membership fee is levied.

They've been charging £10 to change clubs for years.  At least now you can do the transfer on line.   I believe if you drop your club membership for 3 years then you don't have to pay the £10 to transfer.   But that means 3 years not being a member of a/your club.

I don't think they send out cards now for renewals, just when you join/change club and get an EA licence for the first time

I've had an email from them saying it's been renewed with my number ( which I know off by heart anyway!! obviously enter too many races!! )
