SaPAR Membership General Information Membership Information

Membership Information

Membership is available to any rider with a full licence and a motorcycle, this includes pillion passengers. The various categories of membership are detailed on this page but if you have any questions please contact the Membership Secretary using the Contact Form. Membership can also be gifted to a friend or family member. Visit the Gift Voucher page for more details.

How Membership Works

Membership can seem confusing at first so let me explain. If you join SaPAR as an associate member, that is one with no advanced qualifications, you are joining SaPAR only. As an associate member you have access to the associated benefits such as Tutoring, Rideouts and Social activities. At this point you are not a member of RoSPA. Membership with SaPAR must be renewed annually. Once you are ready to undertake your advanced test you must apply to RoSPA for the test and then effectively become a member of RoSPA. This membership also must be renewed annually but covers the cost of the 3 yearly retest and provides a regular copy of RoSPA’s ‘Care On The Road’ magazine. Information and links regarding what is needed can be found in the ‘Tutoring/Test’ page.

These can be ordered when you apply for membership. Please note that the cost to renew as an associate member (Not passed an advanced test therefore not a member of RoSPA and not undertaking training) will remain at £50.00. If however you are undertaking training at the time of renewal (as an associate) then the renewal fee will be £20.00. A SaPAR Hi-Viz jacket will be provided on passing your Advanced Riding Test.

N.B. You will need to supply details of your current RoSPA Advanced test if applying for Full Membership.

If you have a regular pillion who would like to join the group for social events then they can join for an additional £7.50 per year.

BMF Membership

SaPAR is an affiliated group with BMF (British Motorcyclists Federation). This will provide SaPAR with a much higher level of insurance for our activities as well as additional benefits for members.
