Why be a member of the PAA UK & IRELAND?

The PAA organises its own events throughout the year & helps promote other armwrestling competitions. We're non profit making which means we invest anything we make to further Armwrestling in line with our constitutional aims & objectives. It's run on volunteers & goodwill & there are costs to make it all happen. Some people only wish to armwrestle & are not interested in joining the association - attending a PAA event requires an entry fee & for this you are considered a day member. If you wish to contribute more, an associate membership gives a discounted entry fee to all tournaments & entry into the members draw. Cormac English was the winner of the 2023 & will get free entry into all PAA UK & IRELAND regional & National tournaments in 2024.  

​

2024 tournament fees will be £40. 

Those paying a membership fee get tournament entry for £25, so a road warrior attending all six regionals & either novice or pro nationals will pay 

£175 for all the entries instead of £280. 

Associate membership is £30, so a potential saving of £75. Members are in the draw for free 2024 entry to all PAA events as well, which could be worth £280. 

​

Full membership is £40. Like an associate it gives you the tournament discount,  puts you in the draw & the extra tenner gives voting rights at the annual AGM in January where decisions are made. It's a bigger contribution & commitment which doesn't suit everyone. A full member has to be an associate member for a year first. All memberships are subject to approval by the executive committee - please read the constitution.

​

Memberships run from end of January (after the AGM) to the next AGM when fees are again due. Thank you for your support.  Carry on below for details of how to join.
