There is an optional levy for affiliation to England Athletics (EA) of £5 per person.
Members who are not first claim members of another running club should affiliate to EA. This allows you entry to UK Athletics (UKA) registered events without having to pay the additional Unattached levy, currently £2 per race, and to race for the club at championship, cross country, multi-terrain and all other UKA registered events.
Tri Preston pay this levy over to EA therefore you MUST check the box to add this levy for you to be able to run as an affiliated member. If you run as affiliated without paying this you are breaking the rules and Tri Preston's reputation will ultimately suffer.
