For 2008 we have Changed Insurers, we are now with Zurich Municipal, we have also secured this insurance at a reduced cost meaning cheaper membership costs for 2008, This now shows excellent value for money.

Costs are £40 for adult member,  and £20 for Juniors (under 18 yrs). 

From 1st October is £20 for Adults, £10 for Juniors (under 18 yrs).

The pro rata part of our insurance is for NEW members joining through the year, all members at the end of the year will have to pay the full rejoining fee regardless of when they rejoin during the following year.

There will be a small charge to members who attend our fun weekends. Any non-members who wish to try either Blokarting or Land Speedsailing can do so at our Fun or Event weekends for a small fee.
