Club Membership Fees for 2024
The table above shows the current membership fees for our club. 
The total fee includes club fee, British Model Flying association (BMFA) fee and the CAA registration Fee* in accordance with CAA compliance requirements.
If you belong to another club and pay your BMFA fees to that club, then provided you produce your BMFA card and number, no BMFA fee is necessary for Royston Club. But remember, if you do NOT maintain your BMFA membership, you are not insured.
In addition, you can pay your CAA fee through the club which will be sent to BMFA for registration on your behalf.
*All members MUST be registered with CAA paid either through our club or their own club in conjunction with BMFA.

Please also remember that paying your subscriptions on time is important, not only so that our club receive payment promptly but also because your BMFA insurance will expire on 31st December each year and you will not be covered for the new year until subscriptions are paid (Note that once payment is received by the club, continuity of your insurance is maintained).
Plastic wallets for your clubcard are available from the club secretary details of whom can be found in the club newsletter along with other committee member information. If you require a wallet please contact the secretary.
