BMFA, SAA or LMA Insurance is mandatory for our Club. BMFA insurance can be obtained through CVFMAC. Please note that insurance from any other organisation is not sufficient, you must be a member of the BMFA, SAA or LMA. This is a condition of our club's affiliation.
It is also necessary for any person who flies at the site as a guest to have BMFA, SAA or LMA insurance, again any other insurance is not acceptable.
In addition, all rates are discounted towards the end of the year to reflect the reduced BMFA, SAA or LMA rates.
