Wellington Weightlifting Association is a club affiliated to the national body: Olympic Weightlifting New Zealand (OWNZ).

Club members are, therefore, also members of OWNZ and are required you comply with the rules of membership of OWNZ.

Membership fees are paid annually and members must re-register each year using the form under the "Registration" tab. follow the instructions on it for payment. The club secretary will forward the details from your completed registration form on your behalf, together with payment of the appropriate fee, to OWNZ. Payment must be made prior to 31 January each year.

Due to difficulties in getting members to pay on time in the past, the payment cut-off date will be strictly enforced.

An exception will be made for accepting late payment when someone's first contact with the club was after February. In this case the first year's membership must be paid by 31 May. The arrangement will only apply to the first year of membership.

IMPORTANT:
People who have not registered and paid their current year's membership by the due date will not be allowed to enter any club competitions or OWNZ-sanctions events held at the club premises during the year. Their attendance at coaching sessions will be at the discretion of the committee.

The fees are modest in comparision to other sports; coaching and training at the WelTec premises on Saturday mornings is provided free and lifting equipment is expensive.

Please be aware that WelTec has extended special privileges to WWA members, including free use of their gym for Saturday morning training sessions, competitions, etc.. In turn members are expected to respect this arrangement and adhere to any rules laid down by WelTec. Failure to do this may result in the removal of these privileges, no only from you, but from the whole club.

Club members wishing to train at the WelTec gym outside of our regular Saturday morning sessions may take out membership to the WelTeg gym. This is another consideration given only to WWA members. Gym membership is normally available only to staff and students. Please assist with maintaining the good relationship we have with WelTec by following their rules as well as ours.

I wish you success and much enjoyment from the sport!
