Current members are reminded that, in accordance with the rules of the Society, subscriptions and all other annual fees and charges are payable in full on 1^st working day of January 2024. However, you can choose to pay Membership subscriptions and Facility Fees in 12 equal monthly instalments on the first day of each month if the annual total is greater than £300.00.

Direct Debit. Our preferred method of payment is by Direct Debit. Subscriptions and annual fees will be collected on the first working day of each month. All other charges incurred on your account will be collected in the following month as usual. The great benefit of the DD scheme is that you should never have to pay any interest on your account. You will of course be charged interest and an admin fee for any returned DD collections.

Standing Order. If you choose to pay by Standing Order you should ensure that your bank pays all due subscriptions and annual fees to LGS on the first working day of each month. Deposits can be made at any time to cover all other charges on your “flying account”. This can be done in advance if you like.

Cash or Card. Cash or card payees will follow the methodology for Standing Orders.

Arrears. Members will be charged interest (currently 2% per month on a cumulative basis) on all fees and charges unpaid by the date they are properly payable, and you may not be allowed to fly as you will (technically) be uninsured whilst on the airfield.

New members will be charged the annual membership subscription and fees up-front, plus the entrance fee in one instalment. New members can use any of the above methods to pay their flying (and other incidental) charges. After a year they will move onto the system above and be able to spread annual costs over 12 months.
