In October 2008 the asa Annual Council agreed to change asa law to enable an individual to obtain temporary membership to the asa as a category two or category three member.

Temporary category three membership will cover anyone wishing to become a volunteer in the sport, this may be as a result of a sports course and/or a leadership award. The charge for temporary category three membership is £4.00. The membership will be valid until 31st of December of that year and limited to one temporary period per individual.

Temporary category two membership will be available to anyone who wishes to take part in a competition who is not a member of an affiliated asa club. The competition promoter must agree to accept entries from temporary members. If the competition schedule is to take place over a number of dates temporary membership will cover all dates of the competition.  The charge for temporary category two membership is £15.00.

Category two temporary membership forms will be available on request from the promoter of the competition and must be competed by the individual and returned along with the competition entry to the promoter along with entry and membership fees. The Promoter will then consider the application and forward a copy of the membership form to asa membership services and a copy to the competitor as confirmation temporary membership.

Category two temporary membership forms are currently being printed and copies will be supplied to clubs on request from the asa membership services department.

Temporary Category two membership is only valid for the specified competition, however an individual may apply for temporary membership for further competitions on completion of a new form and payment of the £15 fee per competition.
