Children and young people aged between 6 and 22 years old automatically become Rega patrons. Adult members of the SAC are not automatically insured but can benefit from special insurance offers.

You must send a letter of resignation to your branch. Your membership will be cancelled at the end of the year.

Every SAC-member can connect to the SAC website using their personal SAC-account. It can be activated by using your membership-number and your PUK which you find on your membership card. All members do have full access to the contents of the route portal, the new SAC-Ap and the magazine (including the archives, which date back to 1864), an advantage which only SAC members can avail of.
