Please go to this link which is our club sign up form:
You need to select the correct membership.
You will not be able to submit your application without payment and setting up your direct debit if applicable.
The membership team will check that you have signed up correctly, approve your membership and re-register you with England Athletics when renewal time comes around.
This is a new system, it will take time for the membership team to get up to speed so please do bear with us if we are slower to respond than usual.

I don’t train at the track, I coach myself and only run occasionally for the club. Why do I have to pay the direct debit?
First and foremost Brighton and Hove AC is an athletic club, not a running club. All of our members are equal members and should therefore contribute towards the running of our fantastic club
The monthly direct debit is unaffordable for me or my child – who can I speak to about this?
Please fill in this form: Members Support Form
Your application will then be considered by our Welfare Officer and Treasurer in strict confidence.
Why do athletes age 9 – 19 pay £20 per month direct debit but adults only pay £5?
Child club members don’t train alone and many of them regularly train at Withdean Stadium twice a week on club nights. They use club facilities/coaching more heavily
