**England Athletics Affiliation and Registration Scheme England Athletics have advised that the athlete registration fee for 2016/2017 will be £13 (an increase in £1 from 2015/2016). The club affiliation fee will remain at £100. England Athletics say that small frequent increases in these fees are considered preferable to larger (but less frequent) increases. They also provide a summary of the reasons for the registration fee increase, and how the money is spent. England Athletics’ main sources of income are: Sport England funding (57%); income from athlete registration / club affiliation fees (22%); competition entries; road race licensing; coach and officials education courses; sponsorship. Sport England fund England Athletics to grow participation in the sport (both competitive running, and recreational running). Income from registration and affiliation fees is spent on: Coaching and athlete development; competition; community participation; direct membership benefits (including insurance cover for clubs); affiliation and registration management; communication and business development; corporate costs.
