NEW MEMBERS

About joining the British Model Flying Association

Should you wish to join the 1066 Model Flying Club you will need to become a member of the British Model Flying Assosiation, as the club is affiliated to the BMFA.
If you do not want to do this yourself the club Membership Secretary can do this for you.
One of the advantages of belonging to the BMFA, is that you get liability insurance, of up to £2,000,000.
If you should acidentally damage someones property or injure someone you are covered.  There are also other advantages, such as getting the Vectis saving card, which also is your membership card. This costs a mere £3.50 and you can save 4% on your shopping(Example given is for ASDA Digital Gift Card), and more in other supermarkets.
In the panel on the right I have put a link to the New Membership Pack, which includes a letter of introduction, a copy of our Rules  & Constitution and a Privacy notice. 
BMFA Information
