ASA membership changes

ASA reminder regarding changes to the way you pay for your membership:

As previously communicated 2016 ASA membership fees are now payable throughout the full membership year from 1st January – 31st December.

The introduction of the Online Membership System (OMS) has now streamlined membership processing and there is no longer the requirement for members competing during the early part of the following year to upgrade in preparation for this at the end of the membership year.  These upgrades can now be done easily in January.

The three free taster sessions will continue to be in place offering new members the opportunity to trial the club before committing to an ASA membership.
