Important information about being a member of multiple clubs

Members may belong to a maximum of two clubs only if one of the clubs is closed (e.g., a home club and a university club).

Please note:

  • The system will display only one club as your primary club.
  • The secondary club will be recorded in the membership notes for reference.
  • If a member wishes to switch between their two clubs to competitively race, under these circumstances, this can only be arranged through the office. We do require 7-days notice before the event to do this.
  • Payments to the second club must be paid directly to the club.  There are no additional fees to BOF.
  • We must be notified by the member and the club that the payment has been made directly to the second club, to add this information to their membership.

Ways to renew your membership for 2027

*NEW* Save the hassle with auto-renewal

Annual Recurring Card Payments

Following feedback from our members, we’re pleased to introduce the option to set up an annual recurring card payment when you join or renew your membership.

By choosing this option, your membership will automatically renew each year, with payment taken from your saved card details. This means you won’t need to remember to renew manually each year, helping to ensure your membership continues without interruption.

Below is an example of what you should see once you have logged into your online membership account and clicked 'renew membership'.

Setting up a recurring payment is entirely optional. You can choose to continue renewing your membership manually each year if you prefer. If you opt for an annual recurring payment, subsequent payments will be taken on 10 December each year. You can update your card details or cancel the arrangement at any time through your online membership profile.

The choice is yours – you can select the renewal option that works best for you.

Other ways to renew
