Last updated 18.6.2025 – The legacy membership lookup tool previously provided on this page has been deprecated and replaced with the Membership Checker information below. BF is currently investigating providing a public-facing lookup tool that does not require a Sport:80 role/login, so a simple membership validity check can be performed by anyone.

If you need to perform a Membership Check but do not hold the correct role to log in and check information about a member on Sport:80, please contact membershipqueries@britishfencing.com

What is the Membership Checker?

BF membership information is stored on the Sport:80 platform. The platform has a function called ‘Membership Checker’ that can be used by people with specific roles when they need to to confirm whether a fencer holds a valid membership of BF (and is thus insured to fence).

The Membership Checker can be used to check multiple members within one check.

Why use the Membership Checker?

The Membership Checker is a useful tool to check the validity of a membership, ensuring the fencer is insured.

Examples of use:

• A new fencer is attending a club session and the club wants to check they are a valid BF member (and therefore insured to fence)
• A fencer has entered a competition that is not held on Sport:80 and the event organiser wants to check the fencer is a member of BF

Who can use the Membership Checker?

The following roles can access the Membership Checker tool:

• Registered club administrators
• Event organisers (who have a live event on Sport:80)

What information does the Membership Checker return on a check?

The Membership Checker returns information linked to the membership number or email address used in the check:

• Full name of member
• Membership validity
• Expiry date of membership
• Membership type

Please note, if one email address is used for multiple members’ accounts, all members using this email address will be returned in the checker.

What information is needed to use the Membership Checker?

The club secretary or event organiser performing the check (the ‘checker’) needs to be logged into Sport:80. It is the responsibility of the checker to request the relevant data from the participant to enable them to perform the check.

The information needed is:

• BF Membership number or email address (the one used for the participant’s Sport:80 account)

How do I use the Membership Checker?

• Log in to Sport:80
• If you have the correct role (see above) you will see the Membership Checker tool on the left hand menu.
• Add the membership number(s) or email address(es) of the members you want to check in the Select Filters panel.
• Enter a comma, space, or new line per member.
• Click Apply
