**Family Membership is where two or more flying members reside at the same address. Membership fees for the second and any subsequent family members who are 18 years of age or over are reduced to 50% of the rate paid by the Full Member.
*** Affiliate Member is aimed at members who no longer actively fly but who would like to remain a member of the club and continue their support of the club. It is not a club requirement that an Affiliate Member holds BMFA membership or maintains their CAA registration. The annual membership fee for an Affiliate Member is by voluntary donation with the amount being entirely at the discretion of the member. Although we suggest a minimum donation of £20 to cover expenses, there is, of course, no maximum!

| Annual BMFA Membership Fee 2025 (Senior)* | £51 | |
| Annual BMFA Membership Fee 2025 (Junior)* | £20 | |
