If you have bought and paid for your licence you are now a member and covered by insurance, best idea is to take copies of the emails from brca confirming you have paid and show the date, these normally also show your new BRCA number, this should be enough to confirm your a member, they can also check on the system as you should show as a member even if your card has yet to arrive.

If you paid via paypal, also take a copy of that email as evidence of payment.

I should think at regional level that should be enough, as in the end to promote our hobby we should be trying to find reasons for people to race, not to send them home

The only problem you could have with the points you scored at previous meetings before you joined could be depending on how well you have done! One person (or people) you have beaten could complain saying the points from the first meeting shouldn't count as you were not a brca member and they were at the time. And TBH I think they could have a point

how you managed to race at a 2 regional meetings with out a current licence is another matter

Maybe this would have been better discussed with your regional rep and kept under your hat rather than posting here for all to see,doh
