Membership Information

As in previous years, once members have completed a form which gathers all required information for each member, including emergency contacts etc. at the start of the season, it will no longer be necessary for members to complete an entry form at BOFRA championship races, instead they will just need to inform us their intention to run and pay their entry fee. You still need to complete an entry form as normal at non-championship races.

2024 Membership Applications.

Membership for the 2024 BOFRA season is now open.

Membership Fees for the 2024 season

Membership type Details Cost
Family Any combination of Juniors & Seniors at the same address £30
Senior Over 17 £15
Junior Under 17, Under 14, Under 12 and Under 9 age categories £7

Competitors run in the age group, determined by their age on 1st May 2024 and remain in that category for the whole of the 2024 season.  Membership will be closed after the ninth race or when there are not enough races left for a person to complete the championship.

NB There will be no membership on day during the 2024 season. Any completed forms and payments received at races will be processed in time for the next Championship Race.

All applications for membership and FULL payment must be received 3 clear days preceding a Championship race, in order allow the Membership Secretary time to process all applications in time for that weekend’s race.

E.g. for a Saturday race, forms and payment must be received no later than midnight on the preceding Tuesday. For a Sunday race, forms and payment must be received no later than midnight on the preceding Wednesday.

For membership ahead of a race or full championship series, completed application forms should be returned to the Membership Secretary at the address below with the appropriate fee (cheques made payable to BOFRA). If you wish to pay via BACS please email chair@bofra.org.uk for details.
