Apply For MTC Membership for 2012
Step 1. Enter your personal details
First, you must complete an online membership form with your personal details. It is particularly important that your postal address is correct, as this is where your membership card will be sent to. Also important is your email address. The majority of communication to members is done via email so please make sure that this is correct otherwise you may miss important news. You will also be asked to supply a password; this will be used in conjunction with your email address to login to the Members area of the MTC website.
Step 2. Select the membership you require
Membership runs for the calendar year 1st Jan 2012 - 31st Dec 2012.
Two kinds of membership are available for Manchester Triathlon Club, and you should choose the one which best suits your needs:
- Gold Membership - entitles you to free access to all of the standard training sessions. If you will frequently (once a week or more) attend MTC training sessions then you should join as a Gold member. Junior members (BTF age group C this year or younger) receive a discounted rate.
- Bronze Membership - a training voucher must be presented at each session that you attend (each training voucher costs £4 at time of writing). If you will only attend MTC training sessions infrequently (less than once a week) then join as Bronze; otherwise it will be better value to join as Gold.
There are two ways that you can pay for your membership:
PayPal
Instant electronic payment by PayPal - this is our preferred method of payment. As you can see in the following table the cost of Gold membership is reduced pro rata quarterly (i.e. if you join the club between 1st April and 30th June you will pay the "Apr-Jun" price in the table below.
| Type | Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr-Jun | Jul-Sep | Oct-Dec |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gold | £220 | £202 | £184 | £165 | £110 | £55 |
| Gold (Junior) | £110 | £101 | £92 | £82.5 | £55 | £27.5 |
| Bronze | £25 | £25 | £25 | £25 | £25 | £25 |
You will be transferred to Paypal to make your payment on their secure server. You do not need to actually have a PayPal account; you can pay securely online just by entering your credit or debit card details.
Installments
Gold membership may be paid for by installments, using a standing order. An initial payment of £40 must be made followed by 5 monthly payments of £40, on the 15th of each month from February to June. The total cost is therefore £240.
Members are respectfully asked not to use this form of payment, since it creates significant administration for your fellow members. It is only intended to be used by members who would experience significant financial hardship by paying the full £220 in one lump sum.
The installments option is only available until 31st January 2012, or until 25 members have taken up this option.
Questions
If you have any queries please contact our membership secretary at membership@man-tri-club.org.uk.
What happens next?
Once we have received your payment your 2012 membership card will be sent to you by post. You must bring your membership card to all training sessions, as failure to do so may result in you not being able to participate.
Bronze members must additionally redeem one training voucher at each session that they attend; training vouchers are purchased through the Members section of the MTC website using PayPal.
