Membership of the Patrons Association has many benefits, including:

Patrons Monthly Prizes

The Board are keen to offer more special Patrons Monthly Prizes that will appeal to keen Town fans. These include: Directors Days, Mascot Days, Place on Team Photo, and Shop Vouchers. There will be others, which will be similarly special for real Town supporters.

Membership of the Academy Supporters Association (ASA)

Free access to all home academy games. Current members of the ASA will become Patrons.

Annual membership card

Used to ensure access to events is for only current Patrons.

Regular Monthly Meetings

These take place during the season to meet and question football and Town linked people such as Directors, Management, Players, Coaches, The media, Referees, former players, etc. - a great social event too, and VERY laid back! NO dress code!

Travel

Special executive coach trips max 3 per season, run at cost, and including lunch at a venue near the Club being visited and often a guest who can answer questions and chat with fans.

The Terrier

A quarterly newsletter with meeting reports, quizzes, articles by Club representatives, etc

How much does membership cost?

Probably not as much as you think. Our minimum subscription is £12.50 a quarter (or £50 per annum). For less than £1 a week, you can make a very real contribution to the future of the club, as all monies raised go directly to tha Academy.

Whenever possible, subscriptions should be paid by Standing Order from your Bank/Building Society account as this is the most convenient method for you and the club. No need to try remember when you are due to pay and we do not need to remind you when to renew your membership.

A few general points about the relaunch:

Can existing members please note that they need to complete a fresh application form (sent out in the September Terrier or still available from us) and return this to the club so we can process it and allocate a totally new membership number to them before we send it to their Bank for standing order payments.

Membership cards will be issued annually in July provided membership payments are current. With the relaunch, any existing members will receive a new reference number on re-signing.

We would ask that payments be made on the following dates to streamline the dates payments are received by the club:

Quarterly on 1st March, June, September and December
Annually on 1st June. We would like to ask those who wish to pay annually to pay £25 by cheque for the remainder of this year, with ongoing annual payments starting on 6/03/03.

How do I join?

Please print out and fill in a copy of our Application Form, available in pdf format, or use the on-line form to request a form by post or e-mail (or to ask any questions you may have).

The application form incorporates a Standing Order form for subscriptions. We do accept payment by either cash or cheque but these are more costly for the club to deal with, but if you do wish to pay by either of these methods, please indicate so at the top of the application and complete your name and address only, not Bank details. Don’t forget to enclose your payment. Once completed, please post your application form to the address at the top of the application, hand it in to the Club Offices or bring it along to any of our meetings.

You can also collect an application form from the club offices or write to us via the club. Please write to Marcus, HTAFC Patrons, c/o Galpharm Stadium, Huddersfield HD1 6PX or join at any meeting.

If you have trouble using any of the above options, please E-mail us.
