Renewals (existing members only)

What are the renewal fees?

You can view the fees, and what’s included in each plan, above (https://darlingtonharriers.com/join/)

When can I renew?

Existing members will be sent renewal payment reminders during the first week of April and you have until May 5th to complete the payment. Renewal does not apply to members of Fundamentals or Foundation training groups.

What membership plan will I be renewed on

By default, you’ll be renewed to the membership plan you chose for the previous membership year – if this needs to change, you should contact us before the renewal period in order to advise which plan you want to change to.

What happens to my membership if I don’t renew?

After 5th May, we will resign all non-renewed memberships from both the England Athletics (EA) portal, and the club website. You will then no longer have access to club training sessions. You can choose to reapply for membership by completing the form at https://darlingtonharriers.com/apply/

How do I pay for my renewal?

We will send you a payment request from England Athletics, and this will come from the email address noreply@englandathletics.org – please ensure you have whitelisted this email (or added to safe senders) so that it doesn’t go to junk/spam folders. 

Unless you inform us otherwise, additional payment reminders will come out via email throughout April until it has been paid. Failure to pay means your club membership will be resigned on 2nd May 2023.

Are there alternative payment options available?

If you would like to renew, but have concerns about paying as a lump sum, please get in touch with us and we’ll look to see how we can help, and what options are best for you.
