Joining the SVAS

SVAS membership is a bargain – the savings on airshow tickets alone mean your membership effectively pays for itself if you attend a few shows each year. Add to this discounts in the shop, access to the library and of course the regular Prop-Swing magazines and you have a deal that’s just too good to miss! Membership runs from 1st March to the end of February the following year.

If you are a UK taxpayer you can use Gift Aid and make your membership fee and any additional donation worth more. For every pound you give to us, we get an extra 25% from the Inland Revenue. Just select the Yes option before adding your membership option to your cart, it’s that simple. To qualify for Gift Aid, what you pay in income tax or capital gains tax must at least equal the amount we will claim in the tax year.
