Join the Association

There are many advantages to being a member

Members receive an annual BWF Events Calendar which details all BWF(IVV) registered walking events (plus cycle and swimming events) within the United Kingdom.

Membership reduces the cost of entry into the Annual Two Day March, Winter Walk and the purchase of RAF WARMA memorabilia. If a member, or affiliated club member takes part in a RAF WARMA sponsored event (Overseas), they may also receive a subsidy.

RAF WARMA members also benefit from 20% discount on clothing purchases from Cotswold Outdoor - see the links page for more details.
