NORTH STAFFS ROAD RUNNERS ASSOCIATION APPLICATION FOR MEMBERSHIP

The NSRRA is an autonomous body affiliated to the Staffs AAA and the MCAA. Its aims and objectives are to encourage and facilitate road running; and, secondly, to stimulate and foster participation and friendly competition at a variety of levels in road running. It is not an athletics club but its members are exempt from BAF levies on unattached runners. Membership is open to all amateur athletes who have attained the age of 18 years and who normally reside in or are members of athletics clubs in North Staffordshire and adjacent areas.

The Association caters for runners of widely differing abilities from first-class athletes to genteel joggers. It organises its Group or League competitions on the basis of the demonstrated current ability of each member and it is therefore necessary for new members to provide the six best results achieved in races during the preceding 12 months. If you have not competed in 6 races in that period, you are nevertheless welcome to join us immediately but we will not be able to place you in one of our Groups until you have submitted six results..In all cases, the initial allocation is provisional and may be reviewed.

The details you are asked to supply below, together with your performance in races in our programme, are stored in and processed by a computer solely for the administration of the Association's affairs. We could not cope with a membership of several hundreds without being 'computer-aided'. We must therefore ask your permission to include this information in our computer files but we do assure you it will be used only by the Association and only for its routine business.

If you want to join complete the form below, preferably in CAPITAL letters, and return it to Steve Locker, 7 Michigan Grove, Trentham, Stoke on Trent, ST4 8UF. Full information on the Association's current programme etc will then be sent to you as soon as possible.
