Hi
No he arrived without being a member - that he
managed to enter was the mistake made on that one..
But any BRCA Executive Official can accept a membership there and then, fill the form in and pay up, job's done.
Accepted several myself, normally at booking in at an event in January when folk have forgotten to do it
So this is a bit of mess - it'll be up to the section officials to decide what they want to do, the people concerned need to talk to each other, typing about it on here won't help.
Up till they do that I would let this thread die and everybody learn some lessons:-
1) Do not put the poor bloke running the event in a difficult position by forgetting to sort your membership out.
2) Remember that when you're doing booking in you are protecting the poor bloke running the meeting (and the other officials too) as well as making sure the competitors have their Insurance -It works both ways. checking membership - or other proof of public liability insurance if not a sanctioned event - is Important.
3) If in doubt ask, want any more info just ask, want to check something just ask..
