Affiliation

Taster Rate Affiliation (February 2012)

England Netball Taster Rate affiliation route for "new" and "returning" members will be made available again this year, and will be effective from the 1st April 2012. This is a pro rata fee, for new and returning members who have not been a member of EN within the last three years, i.e. not since 2008/09 season, and will provide affiliation from 1st April 2012 to 31st August 2012 for a fee of £13.70 senior, £9.40 junior.

The Taster Rate has been developed specifically to cater for clubs, leagues and other organisations that are running "back to netball" or "welcome to netball" schemes, however the rate can be applied to new and returning members joining existing affiliated clubs. Members joining under the Taster Rate scheme will have access to the full range of EN benefits, such as insurance and magazine. The Taster Rate will apply to new and returning members once only, and the full affiliation rate would apply from renewal in September 2012.

Please Note: The Taster Rate fee will not be available for online membership.

The Application forms will be available to download from Monday 1st March 2012 on the EN website: http://www.englandnetball.co.uk/membership/membership_fees_and_forms

Membership Cards (January 2012)

If you provided England Netball with your email address at the start of the season, you should now have received an email regarding the downloading of Membership cards as they will no longer be sending these via your magazine mailing. If you have any problems during the above processes please do not hesitate to call the England Netball Membership Department or alternatively email them at affiliations@englandnetball.co.uk

Eligibility for Competitions

The following should be noted to ensure eligibility for competitions, and to ensure participants receive their magazines on time:

• To register for our England Netball competitions and events starting in September, participants must be affiliated and paid by 2nd September 2011 for affiliating manually via County. For those clubs submitting membership online the date is 9th September 2011. After this first return, Clubs may continue to affiliate their players online at anytime.

• To be eligible for any England Netball competition or event, participants must be affiliated and fees paid to England Netball no less than four days before the England Netball competition or event

• If a player plays for more than one club, they must be registered with all clubs. The player must be first claim registered to their main club (or the club playing in the Regional League where appropriate). They can then be second claimed to the other club.

• If you are already an affiliated member or club and wish to amend your clubs details or add / remove players from your club, you can do this anytime throughout the season by going to the Members section of the England Netball website. Please note, affiliation cannot be transferred between players.

• Schools must be affiliated to participate in County, Regional and National Schools Competitions.

PLEASE REMEMBER - if you are an affiliated player and have an unaffiliated player in your team, your insurance may be void, along with that of your opposition. Additionally, if you, an affiliated player, official or club are involved with an unaffiliated league (where not all teams are affiliated), your insurance may be void.
