Fees
Bristol & West membership
The club is not for profit and runs to cover its cost. The membership fees are paid over a 12-month period. The main season runs September to April, but we typically continue with training and summer-league matches over the summer.
Membership fees are currently £23 per month for members over 18 or those in full-time education. As a new starter, you are entitled to three ‘taster’ sessions free of charge. After this time you need to set up a Standing Order for club membership. This is paid directly to the club bank account each month. The club fees cover the cost of weekly training sessions, court fees, league entry, umpires, balls, bibs, first aid kits etc. and the general running of the club. Additional costs are the annual Englad Netball affiliation costs (see below) and if buying your own club kit for matches (either new or pre-loved kit). Occasionally the club may invite specialist coaches or fitness trainers to take a session, which may require an extra contribution towards costs.
England Netball (EN) affiliation costs
The affiliation fee for this season is £43 for members over 18. This includes the England Netball fee, County fee, Regional fee and a Bristol & West fee. AENA rules state that players must be affiliated to England Netball to ensure that they are insured during training sessions and while playing matches.
