Members will be aware that the SCDA pays an annual affiliation fee to the BHDTA which amongst other benefits, provides the all-important insurance cover for our events and for drivers attending events. The fee is based on a levy of £15.75 per member and this year we have found it necessary to increase the Full and Associate membership subscriptions to reflect that fact.

At the same time, for those of you who may not wish to remain at the Associate level but still wish to be part of and support the SCDA, we are now offering you the chance to become 'Supporters' at a cost of £10 per year. A Supporter will not enjoy the voting rights of members on constitutional matters (which seldom arise) but will be kept in touch with what is going on by the newsletter and by being welcome to attend the annual conference.

Supporter  £10 SCDA supporters. Newsletter, attend Conference.

Please print out the application form and post it to the address given, together with your payment. CLICK below to download the form. It is available in two versions.
