What are the dues? How do I join?
Presently, we do not collect dues. We are a true association of self-funded pilots. Some deal with the State and city governments. Some deal with farmers. Some clear landing areas. Some host websites. Some own land. Financial help is appreciated, but since we didn’t jump on the insurance/legal bandwagon, our costs are low. We’re just flying like we’ve done for 45+ years; and if the world and modern times overtakes us; That’s life.
Until then, the goal is to get to cloud base, land by your car, and have a beer. Or get up and run downwind. It’s all good.
So how do I join?
Do something to keep hang gliding / paragliding happening in Western Massachusetts for the next 40 years. Talk to a member (contacts in the site descriptions). (Sorry, there are no helmet stickers or membership cards or swag.) (Unless you still own a groovy club T-shirt from 1990!)
