Dear Members,

The new rugby season is almost upon us and you can now purchase your membership online through the website Memberships section, with just a few clicks. This will take you to the RFU GMS system.

Anyone who is not yet registered with the club needs to first follow this link Eccles RFC

To ensure we are GPDR compliant, the club requests everyone, players and non-players, complete their online registration, ideally by the end of September. If you have not completed a registration form you are not considered a club member and therefore not covered under our insurance.  A paper registration form will be made available in the clubhouse for anyone with issues in completing it online.

There will be no registration day as such this year. However, we understand this new digtial process may be a daunting prospect for some members and Heather will be at the club on Sunday 8th 15th and 22st September to assist anyone who has a problem with registering online or who wants to pay by cash or cheque.

The GMS online system provides the option to pay by direct debit in monthly installments if that's your preference.  

Current standing order arrangements should be cancelled to avoid paying twice.

Fees will remain the same again this year. This offers extremely great value for money and if you wish to make a further donation this option is also available on the payment page. All moneys are gratefully received as the cost of running a club like ours increases year by year.

Eccles RFC annual club membership runs 1st August - 31st July and we appreciate your continued support.

Membership Fees:

£77 for Minis & Juniors

£85 for U17 & U18s (male and female teams) 

£40 for Adult Playing membership

£25 for Adult Non Playing membership

£15 for Adult Player Student (18+) membership

£15 for Social membership

£15 for Walking Rugby membership

£12 for 200 club.
