════ 🗒️ Insurance 🗒️ ════ 

All pilots will require insurance for this event. 

If you are already a member of the BMFA or have BTW Gold Membership you are ready to go.

If you are a member of an alternative drone insurer, unfortunately this is not sufficient. This is because other insurers (that we have found) do not cover competitive events.

You can either:

• Sign up for full membership
  • BMFA here: https://bmfa.justgo.com
  • BTW Gold here: https://www.btwclub.co.uk/pricing-plans/list
• OR - Purchase £6 temporary insurance for this event with your ticket

Please ensure your iFPV account is updated with your insurance document for this year.
