Why Join?

· Following member feedback, we have been able to significantly reduce the Membership cost to just £5 for adult members. 

· To be eligible to represent England in the World Cup or European Club Championships players must be members of the ESTFA. 

 · This season, it will be compulsory for any English players wanting to play at a tournament in England to join the association. The reason for this is that the ESTFA does have fixed costs just to put events on, particularly: 

· 100 euros FISTF fees every season 

· Public Liability insurance cover, which some venues insist on. This costs around £120 per annum. 

· It seems very unfair that some players don’t want to make any contribution to the ESTFA’s basic cost of existence, yet expect to play in the tournaments which paying members have paid to make possible. 

· Membership for Under 19 players remains free. 

· The National Championships will not be free to enter this year, however we will be working to keep the entry cost as low as possible. 

I do hope you will continue to support the Association, and perhaps encourage a Club mate or two to join up and come to some tournaments. The Association is nothing without its members. If you have any questions please get in touch on 07812 019618 or michael.parnaby@ntlworld.com

Yours sincerely
