Changes for the 2023 Season
At the start of the COVID pandemic we needed to record attendance numbers and manage the way we trained at the Brickfields facility. To manage this we started using the wildapricot system for membership registration and attendance.
As well as the fact that COVID is now manageable and the requirement to manage attendance on site is no longer needed plus the WildApricot costs are about to significantly escalate we have decided to create a new membership enrollment process that we would like all members to register on using the following link (you may need to turn your phone to landscape to see the full page width).
Membership Levels – City of Plymouth Athletic Club (plymouthac.co.uk)
New Members
Please select the free 14 day trial membership level. The free trial will expire automatically after 14 days from registration and membership will automatically be cancelled. If you wish to continue your membership after this time, please renew by selecting the appropriate paying membership level.
Payment for all monthly paying membership levels may be made through recurring online payments by entering your card details at the checkout or by standing order by following the directions at checkout and in your confirmation email. Card payments will start with immediate effect, standing orders should be set up within one week of registering. Our preferred payment method for all new members is by recurring card payments as this reduces the manual administration tasks required. Failure to pay will result in your membership being cancelled and you will no longer be able to access training sessions or competitions.
Current Members
Monthly Paying Members
Please select the appropriate membership level and keep your current standing orders as they currently are if applicable or if you prefer you can enter your card details and set up recurring payments via your credit/debit card. Please remember to cancel your standing order if you decide to pay by recurring card payments, we cannot do this for you.
As a fully paid up monthly paying member you can turn up to your session as normal without booking but expect to be challenged to show your membership QR code by a coach or one of our volunteers. If you do not show your card you may be asked to pay for your session as a ‘pay as you go’ athlete using the card reader in the clubhouse. If we find the system allowing members to attend without having to book their sessions is being abused by non-members we will have to revisit our procedures.
Family Members
If you are a family member then you can register yourself using the ‘Family Main Account’ level. Then pay the £32 either by entering your card details at checkout or setting up a standing order if not already set up. Once registered you will then be sent a special code which you then use or pass to your family to create accounts for all other family members by selecting the ‘Family Member’ level. If you have 2 Minors/Panthers then you can register them as family members but pay the lower amount (e.g. £20 for 2 panthers) by standing order. Card payments for family members will automatically charge £32.
Pay As You Go / Guests
If you are a ‘pay as you go’ member please continue to book your sessions in advance on the new system through the calendar. If for some reason you are unable/forget to book, we are now able to take card payments on the night provided we have a volunteer there who is able to take payments.
As always if you would like to support the club by volunteering to check members in and make the new system work please let us know.
If we find the system allowing members to attend without having to book their sessions is being abused by non-members we will have to revisit our procedures.
If you have any problems with this new process please contact us through the ‘Contact Us’ form.
