The process for joining the ECF, along with the costs and details of membership benefits can be found on the ECF website. If you like to play in matches, then you need to join the ECF which manages the Grading. This is important when trying to match players fairly for their match games. If you don’t have a grade, you can be awarded a provisonal grade so you can get started. Please ask at the club about how this is done.
