Things to know before joining the ECF / renewing or upgrading your ECF membership …
- Junior Bronze and Junior Gold memberships are available FREE for the first year to junior players who have not previously been members of the Federation in any category. When you log in as a new member at https://ecf.justgo.com, choose ‘Free Junior Bronze’ or ‘Free Junior Gold’, and please make sure you complete the process, as although no money changes hands, the Free Junior memberships must still be ‘purchased’ or the membership is not valid. Junior memberships are open to all players aged under 18 on the date the membership is taken out.
- ECF Student Gold membership is available FREE for the first year to student players who have not previously been members of the English Chess Federation in any category. When you log in as a new member at https://ecf.justgo.com, choose ‘Free Student Gold’, and please make sure you complete the process, as although no money changes hands, the FSG must still be ‘purchased’ or the membership is not valid. Student memberships are open to all student players aged between 18 and 25 on the date the membership is taken out.
- PARENTS PLEASE READ — Please don’t register yourself with the ECF in order to register your children, unless you want your own membership as a chess player. In addition, if you are adding two or more children to the ECF membership database at this time, make sure you choose a username for each of them in turn, rather than accepting the default (your email address) as each subsequent child added will otherwise trigger a ‘username already in use’ dialogue box.
- If you have any questions about how the membership system works, if the membership amendment you would like is not available on the ‘Existing members – renew or upgrade here’ link below, or in case of difficulty (lost usernames, password lost or forgotten), in the first instance please email [office@englishchess.org.uk] or call [01424 775222] our ECF Office staff. Please note office hours are 9.00am to 5.00pm Monday to Friday.
