Terms & Conditions

By registering to participate in the Advance British Club Challenge (BCC), all pilots are confirming that they are eligible to compete, agree to abide by its rules, the British Paragliding Competitions Terms and Conditions and that they accept the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Statement below:

1. British Club Challenge Terms and Conditions
   
   
   1. General.The BCC is wholly subordinated to British Paragliding Competitions, which is an empowered organisation within the British Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association. Participation in the BCC is subject to adherence to the British Paragliding Competitions endorsed BCC Rules, of which the following are emphasised as being key principles for any event.
   
   
   2. Safe flying. All pilots fly under their own responsibility. It is each pilot’s obligation to take all necessary actions to maintain their own safety whilst competing, and to ensure that they do not act in any way that might endanger any other pilots. It is a condition of entry to British Paragliding Competitions for all pilots to accept, without restriction, to hold the Organisers and British Competitions Panel blameless, and waive all claims to compensation.
   
   
   3. Sportsmanship. The purpose of British Paragliding Competitions is to provide a sporting, fair, competitive and safe contest, in order to determine event winners and to reinforce friendship amongst all British Club Challenge competitors.
   
   
   4. Communicable Disease Mitigation. In addition to the responsibility of all pilots to fly safely, all participants and supporters of British Paragliding Competitions are required to adhere to the necessary precautions that mitigate the risk of transmission of communicable diseases. This includes the currently in force measures to protect against the spread of COVID-19, noting that these mitigations may change at relatively short notice and differ between the Home Nations of the United Kingdom.
   
   
   5. Pilot Eligibility. All pilots wishing to participate in the BCC must meet the following requirements:
      
      - They must be Flying Members of the BHPA to ensure that they are provided with the appropriate third party insurance. Team captains are responsible for ensuring that this key requirement is complied with.
      
      - Pilots should be full members of the BHPA recognised club that they compete for. Once a pilot has flown a BCC round for a club they may not fly for another club in the same season.
      
      - The competition is open to all pilots of sufficient experience and competence to safely fly with others, undertake thermal flying and attempt cross country flying.
      
      - It is recommended that competitors have a minimum of Club Pilot plus 15 hours airtime, but team captains may use their discretion when selecting team members.
