Care to join us? At Bathurst Soaring Club we’re always delighted to welcome visitors and new members to the exciting and challenging sport of soaring! To make your decision as easy as possible, we’ve summarised several options below.
3-Month Trial Membership If you are not entirely sure but you think you would like to take a few flights and some training to help you decide, a 3-Month Trial Membership could be just what you need! Trial Membership gives you 3 month's membership of both the GFA (the national gliding body in Australia) and Bathurst Soaring Club. There are two choices here:
3-month membership of the GFA does not automatically extend into full membership and expires after the three months have passed. You need to renew your GFA membership on their website (http://www.glidingaustralia.org/membership/) and choose the 12 month option to continue with your gliding training (it is not possible to take out more than one 3-month membership with the GFA). Converting to a full 12-month membership with BSC is as simple as paying the 12-month membership fee which is currently $360. You must complete these two transactions if you wish to continue flying with us. If you are under age 26, a better option is to take out a 12-month Junior membership. See below.
Full Membership As an alternative to using the 3-Month Trial Membership, you can go straight to Full Membership and get involved in this exciting sport! This option gives you access to one of the best equipped and best situated private gliding clubs in Australia with its own airfield, gliders, clubhouse, etc.
