How To Join
Joining Cardiff AAC is very simple and all new members are welcome.
You need to be 9 year of age or older (no upper age limit) and must complete the application process. This can be done electronically on-line and, by clicking the APPLY TO JOIN button at the bottom of this page, you will go straight to the easy-to-use application form.
When you have completed the form, you will need to print a copy and either send it to the membership secretary or bring it to the club in person.
The membership Secretary is Mrs Kath Elias, 4 Bader Road, Llanishen, Cardiff CF14 5LN.
Naturally all members are expected to pay an annual subscription and these are shown below. There is also a one off joining fee of £15 for standard category members in return for which you receive an attractive, branded club T shirt.
Members are entitled join a suitable coaching group, to use the facilities of the club house, are eligible to represent the club in club teams and to wear the club’s distinctive competition vest. Social occasions are arranged from time to time and the club’s environment is a great opportunity to get fit and make new friends.
That’s all. Easy isn’t it?
