Renewal 1 April 2012 to 31 March 2013
Form 101 Membership Renewal 2012-3
Please print off a renewal form (BPA Form 101) from the link above, complete the form and return it by post or fax to the BPA Office. Please allow up to 10 days when applying for renewal.
The renewal subscription is £116.35 - a reduction of £1.25 on last year, because we have been able to negotiate a lower insurance element.
The cost of joint membership is £213.54. As joint members share one copy of the Mag, both will now share the same postal address on the BPA membership database. Each joint member will of course continue to be able to have their own unique e-mail address.
Our preferred method of payment is debit card, because it costs the BPA less to process a payment by this method than by credit card or cheque.
Renewal forms will be accepted for processing only by post, fax or hand. We regret we are unable to process renewals over the 'phone or by e-mail. Renewals are avaiable on an annual basis only - no part-year renewal is available, so no reduced subscription is payable by delaying renewal.
Third party insurance cover is included in your BPA Membership - the insurance premium forms part of the membership subscription. The indemnity limit of the BPA insurance policy is £2m at BPA Affiliated Centres and £100,000 at overseas non-affiliated drop zones, excluding the USA where the policy does not apply. The policy does not provide cover for instructor negligence at non-affiliated drop zones.
Please note in particular that:
BPA Members' insurance includes a separate policy giving £15K death and critical injury cover.
