Terry, exactly!!
The 10th off-road and on-road sections use the Electric Board homologation rules and lists for the 'Sanctioned' events. A club day IS NOT a sanctioned event. The clubs responsibility is to run it's events in accordance with the General Rules, one of which is that 'drive batteries' (LiPO) have to be charged in a lipo sack etc.
Your club has chosen to implement the list for some reason, you would need to ask them.
As for buying from a reputable UK shop/distributor and not bring them in from outside the UK yourself can only be, in my opinion, for public liability if your cell does fail and damage property.
I do think you are barking up the wrong tree with blaming the BRCA, they aren't perfect but this is not their issue, take it up with your clubs chairman.
