The BFA Board recently approved new pricing options for membership, starting January 1, 2015. Especially exciting is a new, lower priced option for members who would elect to view their BALLOONING magazine online. For as little as $35 per year, ballooning enthusiasts can become BFA members, with full voting rights, access to private 'member-only' features of the website, and can add only what they desire (hot air competition membership, ride operators, gas balloon memberships) for an additional fee.
Have no worries, the colorful and informative BALLOONING magazine will continue to be available if you choose to be mailed directly to your home every other month, just as it has in the past. The printed magazine add-on is just $20 per year, which combined with a regular membership fee of $35 is $55, the same price as the BFA has charged for over 15 years! Of course the online version of the magazine is available for viewing by all members.
So if you have fellow pilots or crew that have an interest in joining and supporting our community, a lower entry might make that more affordable.
HOLIDAY SPECIAL: Anyone who joins as a new BFA member between December 1, 2014 and March 31, 2015 will have their new membership extended until March 31, 2016. Join NOW and get a few months FOR FREE! Makes a great holiday gift for crew members, family, and friends! The $35 Digital Membership can be purchased now for new members!
