2021 Carrick AC Membership

 


Carrick-on-Shannon Athletic Club is delighted to announce that it is now accepting membership for the 2021 season.

Unfortunately with the Covid-19 situation and the restrictions imposed by Sports Ireland and the Government, we have not been able to open our doors for our normal club activities at this time but we are starting the process of renewing existing club memberships and accepting new members.

This year we have moved our registration system to the Athletics Ireland Online Membership System which means that our members will be able to renew their memberships from the comfort of their own home and all without the need for our traditional membership night.

The link for the new Club membership portal can be accessed HERE

This new system will allow members access their membership details, update those details if need be, have access to their membership number and also enter national championships through the portal if they wish.

Our membership fees for the 2021 season are as follows:

Juvenile (U20 on December 31, 2002)         €28

Senior/Masters                                          €35

Juvenile Family (3 or more)                        €70

There are several ways of renewing your membership or applying to join the club.

2020 MEMBERS

For existing members, the club will send out a membership link via email to any club members whose email address is inputted into the system. Simply follow the link attached and pay your membership depending on your age category.

If you do not receive an email notification from the Athletics Ireland Membership system, contact Club Secretary John Connolly and provide your email address and an renewal notice will then be sent out.

FORMER MEMBERS

Depending on when you were last a member of the club, your details may still be stored in the system. 

NEW MEMBERS

For new members, the process is a bit more simple. Simply click onto the following link HERE and follow the instructions, an application to join the club will be lodged and approved by the club.

One note, we are NOT taking any new members aged 8 in 2021 until the situation becomes clearer regarding the Covid-19 situation. We do not take members younger than this age.

IMPORTANT - Carrick AC on Lockdown

 


As I'm sure you are all aware at this stage, the entire country is under a Level 5 Lockdown due to the worsening situation regarding Covid-19. First and foremost, we want everyone to be safe and healthy but unfortunately, the restrictions mean that we won't be returning for our new 2021 season under safe to do so.

That means there will be no organised club sessions for any of our members -juvenile, senior or master - until we get the go-ahead from Sport Ireland and Athletics Ireland.

Members are allowed to continue to train but all activity is restricted to individual training/personal exercise within 5 km of home while individuals may meet with one other household in outdoor settings when taking personal exercise.

In regard to Athletics Ireland insurance covers in place during Level 5 lockdown and club closure, Athletics Ireland have negotiated that all registered AI members will be covered by their AI personal accident insurance whilst undertaking club approved training in an individual capacity for injury resulting from an accident. Additionally, all AI registered members participating in online virtual coaching sessions by approved club coaches will also be covered by their AI personal accident insurance.

Although we are not open for training sessions yet, we will be opening up our new online club membership portal in the coming days so that all members can renew their membership for the 2021 season.

Stay safe and we will see you all soon.
