It's time to renew your BMFA Membership - A must for all club members

Hi All,

The time has come for the BMFA renewals for 2019.

This year the cost is £38 and there is also a new system in place called ‘Go’, which I emailed you about a little while ago.

Under this new system the responsibility for renewal switches from the club to the individual, so there is no way that we can renew your insurance for you as it relies on you using the ‘Go’ system and renewing online using their payment system.

This means that you now have to log on to the ‘Go’ system, set up a password and then you can administer your own details and renewal.

I have been using the ‘Go’ system for quite some time and it is very easy to use and it all works very well.

I have found a number of members whose email address held by BMFA was out of date, but I have corrected all but one who is an affiliate member.

I have set up every club member with your current details (email, address, etc….), but I cannot renew your BMFA for you.

Your ‘user name’ to access ‘Go’ will be your current email address (the one I have used in this email) and you have to then click on ‘Forgot Password’ so that they can send you a temporary password which you use once only and then change to your own one.

You can then renew your membership using this system.

After that, you are responsible for ensuring that your details are correct and up-to-date for the future.

For club members who are country members of BMFA or have another club as their primary club, you can still use ‘Go’ to renew, but your renewal will not affect our affiliation status with BMFA.

Below is a link to the BMFA instructions for using  ‘Go’ – https://bmfa.org/News/News-Page/ArticleID/2560/Introducing-the-new-BMFA-membership-portal-for-individuals-and-club-management-Now-live-for-renewals

This tells you exactly how to log on and everything else you need to know.As I am the club administrator I receive an email each time you renew your membership or change your details, so I will know that you have renewed your insurance and can then issue you a club membership card for next year.You have a deadline of end of December to renew otherwise YOU WILL NOT BE INSURED AND CANNOT CONTINUE AS A CLUB MEMBER (the BMFA stipulate that every member must be insured for the club to be affiliated to them).

Best regards
