We are a non-profit organisation meaning that everything we do is voluntary. Our committee all have busy day jobs and Singapore Falcons is an amateur running club with no immediate plans to ever become anything more. To become and official club, we need to have an official annual membership process, pay administrative fees, licences, affiliation memberships etc.
Falcons run for free and you can always turn up on a Tuesday or Thursday night and run with us. However, in order to become a member, we charge a very small, nominal annual membership fee of $30 per person. We will host an annual General Meeting later in the year and as we grow, we need to buy things like banners, flags, first aid kits equipment etc. When we have our Falcons bank account, we will also need to get this audited and present the account summary to all members. With all of the above in mind, we have an standard annual fee of $30 per year which includes all of the benefits below.
We will cap our membership numbers as we want to stay small, and there will be a maximum that we will allow on our Whatsapp community and an ‘updating’ of our whatsapp group will form part of this process. The vibe we have now is because of the fabulous people we have as part of the club.
Please note, that we are close to our cap of 250 runners. Follwing reaching this number we will operate a waiting list.
If you would like to become a member, please follow the steps below:
1- Attend a track session to see if you actually enjoy it and it's your thing!
2- Decide whether you agree with, are willing to subscribe to and demonstrate our club values
3- Read and agree with our code of conduct
4- Once you have made a decision, please contact one of the committee members (Andrew, Dan, Ian, Andy, Trisha, Simon, Brian or Chris) to let them know that you wish to sign to be a member.
5 - Complete our membership sign up form at the top of this page.
Signing up to be a member by signing the form and paying the $30 fee covers:
Annual affiliation to Singapore Athletics
Purchasing of Electrolyte drinks at the end of each track session
Purchasing of items such as first aid kits and materials needed to run sessions, time trials
Subsidising of kit orders, meaning we over order, always ensuring there is an excess in case you wish to swap sizes
The $30 annual membership gives you the following 10 benefits:
Access to all our training sessions and online materials
Discounted products at a growing number of establishments
Discounted race entry at many events locally and internationally
Access to our WhatsApp community
Access to advice from any of the committee or other members
Access to purchase kit, which is bought at cost or heavily discounted. We don’t make profit on kit.
Access to our time trials
Post-race hydration drinks at the end of each track session
Access to our end-of-year raffle and prize giving
Access to our members-only Strava community
Inevitably, as we grow, people will move on as a natural part of this process. Our retention has been high since we began but if there is another club more suited to you then it's best to go with what is best for you. Please note that due to the heavily discounted items from T8, only Singapore Falcons members will be able to purchase kit. As we have done previously, we can support any members who need assistance with funding things.
These items are charged at cost, meaning we do not make a profit on them.
The price of initial sampling, shipping and purchasing extra sizes is factored into the cost. This means we can purchase a few extra sizes in each item so that you can immediately swap it if it doesn't fit. Membership fees help us to don this.
The T8 items are the cheapest that you will find. This makes membership important as we cannot simply let anyone order T8 gear at this price.
Please complete order form below and follow payment instructions.
Any singlets, crops or tech tees that don't fit can be swapped for another size providing you have not used this.
