Introduction

Registration for this website is included within an application to join and become a Member of the Association of Royal Air Force Fighter Control Officers. There are various categories of membership and the eligibility criteria for each are laid out in the Rules of the Association. Once an application is received by the Hon Secretary, it will be determined whether or not the eligibility criteria have been met and, if so, for which category (Full, Associate or Student). Membership categories Honorary, Ex-Officio and Veteran (Dowding) will be allocated by the Committee based on the criteria in the Rules and no application may be made via this registration process. Please use the 'Contact Us' facility if you have any associated query.

Application

This process takes the applicant through a number of pages, on which certain data completion will be required; the entries requested are mandatory, but are limited to those required to identify the applicant for eligibility purposes and to provide appropriate contact details (We are, after all, a 'social' organisation!). The first page asks for the email address the applicant will use to log into the site and also the associated password. We would prefer that the use of a 'mod.uk' or 'gov.uk' address be avoided; it will be prohibited at some future stage.

The second page seeks limited Service details and some relevant history; membership eligibility will be determined, in part, from this. The third page requires some personal information that will also assist in meeting the eligibility criteria.

Finally, the last page wants to know how payment will be made. Since the AGM in 2018, an individual's membership 'year' will run from the date that payment is first made, with the first payment being made as soon as possible after application. If the conditions of Rule 2B(b) or Rule 12 concerning temporary or permanent non-payment are applicable, you will be asked to select either 'Student' or 'Rule 12' to proceed further. Confirmation of membership (including unfettered access to the website) will not be given until the payment, if applicable, is made.
