How to Join the NFA
The National Firefly Association Membership Secretary is Roger Hudson. To join the NFA, please simply download the form below:
The best way to pay is by standing order which means the money leaves your account every January and you do not have to post cheques, as well as ensuring you get the discounted rate!
How much does it cost to join the NFA?
Membership for a boat owner is £20 and for a non boat owner is £15 for the year. Renewals received by the 31st January attract a £2 discount
What do you get for your money?
Joining the NFA means you are a member of one of the most active class associations in the country. Quarterly the NFA produce the Firefly Bulletin it is normally about 10 page colour magazine with race reports, open meeting details, what is going on in the class, rule changes and the best way to keep ahead of what is going on in the world of Firefly Sailing. It is the envy of many classes and is always a good read full of information and photos.
You also get discounts of Firefly equipment as follows: Alan Powel Foils £20 discount, New Sails £15 discount if bought through the NFA (even if not a NFA member it is cheaper than from Hyde), various discounts on the Firefly Merchandise, Boat covers a 10% discount from Sail Register! This is over £40 worth of money back which is over double to cost to join the NFA in the first place!
Being a member of the class means that you can vote at the AGM and be involved in important decisions that affect the class.
When do I have to join?
To sail at a Firefly Event the helm has to be a member of the NFA. We encourage and would love everyone to be a member at all Firefly Open meetings. At certain events we strictly police it and you can not sail without being a member. These are the nationals, the inlands and RNVR Team Racing.
We look forward to seeing you join the National Firefly Association and if you have any questions please do hesitate to get in contact with Roger or anyone else on the committee!
