Second Claim membership

If you are already a member of another club which is affiliated to England Athletics, you can join Lewes AC as your Second Claim club. This entitles you to use the club’s facilities and coaching. You can also compete for Lewes AC as your Second Claim club, but only competitions where there would be no clash with your commitments to your First Claim club. For details see rule 3 of the 2012-2014 UKA Rules for Competition.

Changing clubs

If you are currently a First Claim member of another club affiliated to England Athletics (or you used to be), and you want to transfer to Lewes AC as your First Claim club and be registered with England Athletics as such, then you need to complete the England Athletics ‘Change of First Claim Club’ form and post it to England Athletics with a printout of an email from an official of your previous club confirming that they accept your resignation as a First Claim member, and a cheque for £10. The form and a more detailed ‘Athlete’s guide to change of club’ are both available via the England Athletics club affiliation page.

If you want to transfer to Lewes AC as your First Claim club but become a Second Claim member of your previous club the procedure is the same, but you should ask the official from your previous club to explain in their email that this is what you are doing.

If you want to transfer from Lewes AC to another club, please email us at membership@lewesac.co.uk to request an email confirming that we accept your resignation as a First Claim member. Then the procedure is the same as above.

Affiliation to England Athletics

When you becomes a member of Lewes AC or renew your membership, the club will automatically pay from your membership subs to become an affiliated member of England Athletics the Sport’s Governing Body. It is necessary to be affilated to England Athletics to compete in England Athletic’s permitted events. Affilation involves the club providing England Athletics with limited personal information to enable your affiliation. This information will be stored by England Athletics who will inform you it can be accessed via an online portal called myATHLETICS. Should you wish, you may add to or update your information on the myATHLETICS portal. It is a condition of membership of Lewes AC that affiliation to England Athletics takes place to enable members to compete in a range of competitions. If you have any questions about the data stored by England Athletics, please contact dataprotection@englandathletics.org
