Renewals

At the AGM on 9 December it was agreed that the EDMAC subscription for 2026 would remain at £10 for Adult members and free for Juniors.

This year, as the vast majority of our members now have email addresses, personalised renewal letters were emailed to members during the week following the AGM, and posted to the small number who have no email.

Please ensure that you renew both your EDMAC and BMFA memberships before flying on the Downs in 2026.

The quickest and easiest way to renew is to use your online Banking service to make your payment direct to our account rather than writing and posting a cheque. This saves postal delays, plus waiting time for the cheque to clear - and please note that our bank now charges the club 40p for every cheque that we deposit. Around 80% of members renewed by bank transfer last year. Account details are the same as in previous years, and are shown on your renewal letter and you do not need to return the form.

During 2020 most banks introduced 'Confirmation of Payee' when making payments from your bank account to another account. This is a new service that helps protect against scams and mistaken payments by checking the name of a payee against the name held by the payee's bank. So, if asked, please state the club's account name, Epsom Downs Model Aircraft Club and the type of account is a Business account. Alternatively you can return the signed renewal form with a cheque to the address on the form.

No photograph is required if you are renewing your 2025 membership as we already have one on file. However, the photo does need to be recognisable, so if you're still using an old photo that now looks more like your son (or grandson!) then please send an updated photo with your renewal!

If you have lost your renewal letter - or didn't receive one - then please fill in a new membership form, but write RENEWAL and your BMFA membership number at the top.

With the BMFA's JustGo membership system all members now have the option of amending their own details stored by the BMFA, and can also renew their own BMFA membership online if they choose. We do not hold a local copy of members' contact details, but take these details from your BMFA record. If your details have changed, please either update your BMFA membership record, or if you prefer you can ask us to do this for you.
