CHGPA Membership Information

CHGPA memberships run from January 1st through December 31st and cost $60 per year. New memberships submitted after October 1 will include the following calendar year, which means October through December are basically free (though this is subject to change).

Club dues are applied toward CHGPA's annual operating expenses, including: site insurance at High Rock, The Pulpit, Fisher Road, and Bill's Hill; the CHGPA website; training-hill and site maintenance; land-owner gifts; and promotional events such as the annual Smithsonian Kite Festival on the National Mall and Become-A-Pilot-Day at the Udvar-Hazy aviation museum near Dulles airport.

Joining CHGPA with a flying membership grants privileges for The Pulpit, Bill's Hill and Fisher Road. Also, members of CHGPA who have registered to participate in the CHGPA forums have additional forum capabilities, such as uploading photos. So please remember to provide your forum username on the CHGPA Membership Information form (see below).

Through your dues, you support and promote the sports of hang gliding and paragliding at the local level. We hope you agree that it is money very well-spent!

• Step One :

  Complete the CHGPA Membership Information Form, and send your contact information to us by clicking on the Submit button at the bottom of the form.

• Step Two :

  Use the CHGPA PayPal Dues Payment Form to pay your dues on-line. Both credit-card and PayPal-account transactions are supported.

As of January 2017, existing CHGPA members have to complete the entire Membership Information form when they renew. We hope that a new membership management system will make this unnecessary next year. Sorry for the inconvenience!

It's also possible to complete the fill out the CHGPA Membership Information Form, save the result, and send it to the CHGPA Treasurer along with a check. Checks for club dues should be made out to CHGPA.

• The CHGPA treasurer (treasurer@chgpa.org) handles club membership, and updates the club roster with any changes to your membership information. While the CHGPA does provide a summary of roster data to USHPA in order to maintain its chapter status, member information is not provided to any other outside person or organization. Ever!
• You may exclude yourself from the on-line versions of the CHGPA roster which are made available in the Members-Only area of the website. Simply check the appropriate box of the membership form.
• Addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses that you choose to provide will be available to all members via any hard-copy versions of the roster that the club might make available to its membership.
