⚡📢 HUGE NEWS! A new BDS membership option with insurance is now available!

👀 BDS memberships now offer more value, more choice and more support for our community.

Here’s what’s changed 👇

⭐ STANDARD MEMBERSHIP – now even better value
We’ve strengthened our core membership and reduced the price for individual annual payers from £70 to £68. More, for less.

Here’s what you get with standard BDS membership:

• Welcome pack, membership card and quarterly Deer magazine
• NEW – Free fi****ms licensing advice via our partner FirearmsLicensing
• Free technical advice from our expert team
• Membership of the BDS Rifle Club – range days, mentoring and marksmanship practice
• Access to local branch, regional and national events
• NEW – Access to the BDS Meet & Greet lounge at The Stalking Show
• NEW – Early-bird access to courses and events
• Voting rights at the BDS AGM

🚀 Next level: PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP!
If you want insurance cover and added perks, you can now step up to Premium. For just £98/year, it includes everything in standard membership PLUS:

• Comprehensive third-party liability insurance (£10m cover)
• Up to 10% discount on selected BDS training and products (online purchases)
• Access to exclusive premium events – including a dedicated session at

Premium options are available across individual, joint and Under-25s memberships (T&Cs apply).

Why the change to our membership options?
We’re a charity first and always. Every membership supports our work for deer welfare, informed and humane deer management, public education, and better outcomes for deer, people and the landscapes we all depend on.

But we also believe members should feel properly supported — with benefits that are practical, relevant and genuinely good value.

Same mission. Stronger community. Better support.
Together for deer.
