Membership
There are three types of membership. If you have not joined another sports club this academic year, you will also need to buy SAMS membership (this should be automatically added to your cart). You can come to 2 sessions before becoming a member and DSD sessions are open to non-members. If you are not a UEA student or staff, please contact the committee as there may be different rules around membership.
- Standard Membership (£25): all members need to buy this to attend the social sessions and participate in committee elections.
- Squad Add-on (£15): squad players need to buy this in addition to the standard membership to play at squad sessions and in Local League or BUCS teams.
- TTE Membership (£8): members who play in Local League or BUCS teams, including the BUCS Individuals, need to buy this so that they can join Table Tennis England (full price is £16 but half of this is subsidised by the club). More information at tabletennisengland.co.uk.
