* Eligible to participate in competitions organised by AKR/NSWKA's affiliated clubs.
* Eligible to participate in state training sessions (incl. state squad training and seminars)
Membership registrations and renewels for UNSW are due by the end of this month (June). You have the option of paying the fee, filling in the form and
