How to pre-register for the 2011 Nationals:

1) We strongly recommend that each skydiving competitor reads the full rules carefully. They can be found here.
2) Download a copy of the BPA Nationals Entry form (form 274). Only one per team is required, so this should be done by the Team Leader.
3) Click on each text entry area and you will then be able to type in your details. Make sure ALL team member details are fully completed. (You will need Adobe Reader)
4) Save the form and email it to info@skydiving.co.uk (or post or fax if you prefer).
You will receive an email confirming your form has been received and advising you of the registration & jump fees your particular team has to pay.
In order for us to work out the prices correctly please ensure you tell us if someone is jumping in two teams.
5) Call the Office on 01132 505 600 to pay the registration fee for your team. You can use any of the following payment methods:

6. Arrive at the dropzone on Friday 13th August or Friday 20th August 2011 (depending on your discipline) and you'll find the form printed out and ready for all the team to sign.

WHAT ELSE YOUR TEAM MEMBERS NEED TO DO:

On arrival complete and sign the “Form of Indemnity and Competitions Declaration and agreement to Drugs Testing”. You can find this at the end of the BPA Nationals Entry form (see above). Although only the team leader needs to sign the Entry form, every single competitor does need to sign this indemnity form, so you all need to pop into reception on the Friday night where we will have copies ready for you to sign.

Registration officially closes at 19:00 on the Friday evening before each event starts, so we MUST receive your Entry form and the teams registration fee by then and at least one team member must be present for the competition brief at 20:00 and subsequent draw (if applicable).

The DZ Office usually remains open until around 22:00 to collect any remaining signatures and payments from those travelling long distances to the DZ.

You can print this off and bring with you on the day to help speed up the kit check.
