GA Member Benefits

Members of the GA can access a number of benefits currently. These change from time to time and have fluctuated over the years. One early benefit was reduced prices on Ordnance Survey maps, at a time when they were expensive to purchase.

In 1926, they also started to appear in the GA's journals, with an example shown opposite, taken from 'Geography' at the time.

There are many reasons to become a member of the GA, which are outlined on the GA website. Discounts on CPD events and publications are important benefits.

In addition to this, GA members can access a whole range of discounts on different items, including flowers, clothing (from companies such as Cotswold Outdoors, Snow and Rock and Paramo), cottage holidays from several companies, maps from Cosmographics, a few months free trial access to Discovery Education, and discounts on SplashMaps. The full list is available on the GA website.
