SERFS Membership

Our most asked question ! and one of the easiest to answer

SERFS have always believed that the most important part of this hobby is to fly rockets, not to clutter up peoples time with excess forms or organisation, or to ask for money for membership fees etc. We only have four basic requirements to which you must adhere to fly with us:-
  1. SERFS are a BMFA affiliated club (No 0705) and as such can arrange insurance through the BMFA's scheme, on the day if required, details on the insurance page.
  2. Your £3.00 flying fee also gets you the SERFS newsletter for the remainder of the year (£5 for non-flyers)
  3. An invitation is required as part of our insurance conditions and is not just a formality!

To this end to fly with us just give John Harvey a call on the number below and come fly........
