Become a member of the BCA and help support the work we do for British Caving!
BCA has a new membership system, provided by JustGo. Please click below to sign-up and purchase BCA membership and, if required, BCRA membership.
If you have any problems joining BCA or BCRA and need some assistance please email
If you are new to BCA, or a returning member, please sign-up on the above link.
If you are a BCA member in 2024 you will already have an account on the new system. To access your account for the first time enter your email address to log in and click forgot password. This will email you a link to allow you to set a password and access your account. If you have any problems please contact
If you wish to join BCRA please sign-up or log-in to the BCA Membership and Qualifications system. Please note BCA membership is a pre-requisite for BCRA membership, and therefore (if you are not already a BCA member) you need to add a BCA membership to your cart first, before you can select your BCRA membership. Once both memberships are in your cart you can check them out to complete your purchase.
Any BCA member can log-in and purchase BCRA membership – it doesn’t matter if you have joined BCA directly, or via a caving club.
Looking for caving qualifications? Visit the Leadership Awards page for more details or use the ‘join the BCA’ link above to sign-up or log-in and manage your qualifications in the shared BCA membership and qualifications system.
Membership gives you public liability insurance, access to the specialist caving travel insurance, a vote at General Meetings, your choice of email communication from us, and helps to support the work we do.
For new members fees reduce quarterly pro-rata – for example a new Active Caver will pay £12 if they join on or after 1st July.
