THE REGISTRATION PROCESS

New Registration – CSIR Access Card – Moving Clubs – Renewal

We hope to make registration of new runners as easy as we can. (See below if you are MOVING to the CSIR club from another club.)

The steps briefly are in two phases:

• Registering as a runner
• Gaining access to the CSIR time trial venue.

Now the detailed instructions for Full Members requiring a permanent ASA license

2. Download the completed ASA Registration Form with your details. (Club secretary will need to provide a hardcopy of your ASA registration when collecting the licenses from AGN. If you are unable to download then please complete the ASA Registration form that is available here.
3. Pay a CSIR club subscription fee and the optional cost of a CSIR running vest. See the fee options and the bank account details below.
