Membership

Our purpose is to benefit present and future members of the community by promoting, encouraging, and furthering the game of basketball and other inclusive forms of physical activity as a recreational facility, sporting activity, and focus for community involvement.

It gives the club a buffer should it run into short term difficulties (such as a the current coronavirus pandemic) and allows short and long term projects to be developed such as:

Contributing to court hire
Sponsoring a player
Covering game days costs
Mini-bus hire
Community events
Help us raise money and support to build a new basketball/community centre

Not a penny will be wasted.

Concessions for people with low incomes

You might have noticed that we haven’t offered concessions to over 70s or other groups who might have low incomes. We do want to be as inclusive as possible and support people who cannot afford the full membership price, but recognise that age or disability alone do not automatically equate to a low income. Unemployment, for example, can happen at any stage of life. If you are over 16 and would like to apply for a membership at the concession price of £5 per month please contact us with details. We may need to ask for further information but will be as supportive as possible and treat your request in confidence.
