                                                NatWest Bank

                                                sort code: 54-30-27

                                                Account Number: 37013963


                                                Please put your club / individual name on the payment description line so we know who the payment has come from.


                                                Before making payment via bank transfer, we advise that you contact the TOWA Treasurer, Adele Hamer, by phone on 01422 823397 to verify our account details. The TOWA does not accept responsibility if you transfer funds to the wrong account. Please note also that we do not e-mail you regarding changes to our account details, so if you receive any e-mails telling you to pay into a different account then please do not pay any money into such accounts, and please inform us if you receive any suspicious communications.


                                                Handbooks, which contain TOWA rules, etc. can also be purchased at a cost of £5. These are provided at no cost for club and individual members of the TOWA.


                                                Permits for holding competitions can also be obtained from the secretary at the current cost of £20 per event. Permitted competitions must have qualified TOWA judges in attendance and qualified first aid in attendance.


                                                All Tug of War Association competitions are covered by third party (public liability) insurance provided they have a permit, which applies to the tug of war arena/spectator area only, and not car parking areas/wider venue areas (e.g. where tug of war competitions run under a permit are held at a show, public liability insurance only applies to the tug of war arena and not the whole showground).


                                                The TOWA has associate membership for new/novice clubs. If you are part of a club that does not compete on a regular basis, then your club may apply to the Hon Gen Secretary for associate membership. Associate members pay only a token annual membership fee (currenly £20 per annum). Associate member clubs do not have any voting rights at a TOWA AGM and are not eligible to represent England at international events.


                                                If you have any queries regarding membership, then please do not hesitate to contact the Secretary.
