Annual BAPA dues are due by the end of the year to renew your membership for 2006. 

BAPA is one of the largest and most active paragliding clubs in the country.  Our flying community is made up of a diverse population and it’s great to get to know and fly with so many pilots. 

We hold lots of flying and social events as well as safety and first aid clinics.   Members often attend clinics such as the Thermal Clinic and the Reserve Clinic for free or for a cost that is subsidized by the club.

BAPA also pays for site insurance for the three Bay Area sites – the Stables, Mt. Tam and Mt. Diablo.  We are working on opening new sites such as Coyote Lake and Mori Point.

Our club needs your support.  If you are already a member, please renew your membership for 2006.  The annual dues are still $25 per year.  If you are not yet a member, please consider joining the club so you can support our sites and activities.

You can join BAPA or renew your membership online at www.sfbapa.org.  Select “Join Now” and fill out the online application form.  If you are renewing, please update any contact information that has changed or any ratings or HAM call sign that you have completed since the last time you renewed.  You can choose to pay via Paypal or by sending in a check to BAPA, P.O. Box 1809, Pacifica, CA  94044.
