NORVA's Affiliations and Membership Requirements

At this point NORVA is affiliated with VBA, and with the VFAA/NFAA. As you all are aware, we have been requiring membership in the VBA in order to become a member of NORVA.

Well we are considering changing this requirement to being a member of either the VBA or the VFAA/NFAA. We are interested in opinions on this topic and invite all members you would like to share these opinions to come to the meetings, so that as these changes unfold you can be sure to give your input.

When entering and exiting the NORVA parking lot make sure you close and lock the gate behind you. There has been a problem with non-club members parking on the lot so they can go into the park and if they are there when you go to leave then they would be stuck without the combination. In one instance someone actually rammed the gate to get out.
