WWW.SPORTSMANAGEMENT.CO.UK Memberships up at UK clubs
Sports clubs in the UK have seen membership levels and income increase by an average of 20 per cent in the past two years. Results from the Sport and
Recreation Alliance’s (SRA) biennial Sports Club Survey, show that the average sports club’s income has risen by 19.9 per cent to £42,845 – compared to £35,736 in 2010. The increase is closely
mirrored by a rise in mem- bership numbers. Over the period from 2011 to 2013, adult participating mem- bership levels have risen by a total of 20.6 per cent. Perhaps surprisingly, many clubs do not
attribute the increases to the London 2012 Olympic Games, with only 13 per cent of clubs saying their membership increased as a direct result of the Games.

who experienced increasing numbers of adult participants between 2012 and 2013, said that there wasn’t a noticeable increase aſter the Games – suggesting that in many cases mem- bership levels were already on the increase. Details:
