Slightly irritatingly there are two main bodies that govern the launching of model rocketry in the UK, the BMFA covers low powered flight, but for mid and high powered flight, one must have membership of both of the following.
UKRA – United Kingdom Rocketry Association, find safety and legal information regarding launches here
BMFA – British Model Flying Association
