It's not too late, but time is running out!  You need to get your dues in to the BAPA Treasurer (Atta Pilram) soon in order to maintain your membership status.

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.
