Our membership year for 2026/27 will run from 1st May 2026 to 30th April 2027. 

Members who wish to change or cancel their membership package can do so when they receive the renewal invitation or by notifying the CATC Committee membership contacts (see Contact page).

N.B.   We are including these ClubSpark help addresses in case you experience problems with joining or paying:

email : support@clubspark.com 

or contact form :

https://clubspark.com/contact 

Renewing members who pay by Direct Debit will be notified of the automatic payment and renewal before the membership year starts. Those no longer wishing to be members can cancel their membership by clicking 'Cancel' on this email reminder. 

Please feel free to get in touch with our membership contacts if you need more information or have any questions at any time.

For new members, joining should be very quick and involves 4 steps:-

1. Click on the website membership page (or the link provided in your renewal invite) to access the ClubSpark membership system.  Create your own secure user name and password if you are logging in for the first time.  

2. Choose which of the membership packages suits you best. If you are renewing your membership then you will already be renewing with an existing package and the renewal notification email is seeking you to confirm that. You can change the package at this stage if your circumstances have changed, e.g. if your children are now at University and you wish to move from a Family to Couple package.  Normal member pricing for each of these is summarised below but fuller descriptions can be found in the package links on this page. 

Single Membership Options - Adult or Senior - £50,  Junior (12 to 18) or full time student - £25.

Group Membership Options - Family - £100, Couple, including with one or more young children - £90,  Participating adult with one or more young child - £50, Supervisory adult with one or more young children - £15.

3. Enter details for one or more people.

4. Pay - 'GOCARDLESS' Direct Debit (preferred).

Most of our members use the GOCARDLESS option and find it quick and easy to use. It helps and saves time for our volunteer administrators if all members use this payment method and avoid trying to use cash, cheques, or bacs transfer arrangements.  However, for those without the ability, the option of paying by cheque is still available.

Alerts for members

1. All juniors must have an adult contact email and other details in order to protect juniors online.  Juniors under the age of 18 will not receive emails directly from the Club, but their nominated main contact on their membership will.

2. If Adult members do not enter their date of birth correctly in their membership profile and the date entered makes them less than 18 years old, they will not receive any communication from the club email system. Several members have reported this and on checking, dates of birth have been incorrectly entered. Please rectify this by logging into ClubSpark and correcting your membership details.
