*2017 BPF FEES REDUCED*

Players who have received this email do so as they are regarded as a professional player within the pool community in Britain and for the amount of tournaments you compete in both nationally and internationally, Please read on for the information regarding membership fees, which are now due for the 2017 season.

As you know by now each year any player that plays in EPBF or WPA events has to be a member of a national federation, who in turn have to pay fees to EPBF.

PROFESSIONAL MEMBERSHIP

A direct personal membership that allows the player to participate in international events sanctioned by the International Olympic Committee and/or World Confederation of Billiard Sports and/or World Pool Association and/or European Pocket Billiard Federation.

The fee for a professional membership is £100 (reduced from £150) and payments must reach our account on or before the deadline date of Friday 12th May 2017 (1 week prior to the Austian ET). If payment has not been received by this due date you will not be able to compete in any event which is sanctioned by the WPA or EPBF through-out the 2017 season until payment is made. Late payment will also incur a £10 surcharge for each month late thereafter.

There will also be an amateur membership of £50 per year for those players who only play in the odd ET event etc.

There are a couple ways in which to pay your membership fee which are detailed below, if you need a reciept please let us know.

PAYPAL
send to britishpoolfederation@mail.com. PLEASE SELECT FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO AVOID FEES, IF YOU CHOOSE THE BUSINESS/GOODS OPTION PLEASE ADD £5

Once this is sorted, the next stage will be to build the membership up, and then for me to contact the relevant sports bodies in the UK, including GB9 and BWPPA etc, to form relataionships, and try to raise awareness of American Pool in the UK, and to try to access any available funding schemes.

If anyone has any ideas regarding this or want to become part of the BPF set up please let me know.

Best of luck for this year, and will send regular emails regarding events when I get them.
