Hi all,
I've been digging around this site trying to find a clear answer on required yearly El Mirage participation for SCTA membership. I have come across mention of a three event minimum participation. It isn't clear to me if that applies to long distance members, or if Bonneville is included as an event?
I fully understand the importance of volunteers in running the meets and would be more than willing to help with patrol duties etc. whenever possible. I'm just wondering if there was a year that I could only make it to one or two meets if I would be booted from the club? Ideally we would get to at least three meets and some club meetings every year but life can sometimes get in the way. I know 500 miles isn't that much to complain about and a lot of guys have a much longer trek, but it still makes it a bigger ordeal to make all the events. I have also seen associate memberships mentioned for long distance members. I think I saw that associate members of SCTA clubs are not actually SCTA members? If anyone could clear all of this up for me I would appreciate it.
I've just been a spectator at El Mirage for the last seven years and some friends an I are finally getting serious about putting together a lakester. Our goal is to run at the November meet next year. I suppose we might run as guests the first go around but I would still like to be thinking about joining a club.
Thanks,
