To give an example , the AFARCC was giving memberships for $20 plus your level 2 lic.
They are running a Collie drif... err Sprint day later this month and even if you aren't a club member it's only $70 for the day plus CAMS lic.
We would require a lot of time , money and effort to get to that level and I am sure that if we approached the AFARCC as a group , that price would be cheaper.
So RB20lagwagon has a point in that we remain ourselves but under the banner of a CAMS affiliated club.
No different to the Combined Car Clubs Sports Register which has a lot of minor marque clubs banded under the register.Don't forget though, if we join as a club then we are bound by the CAMS rules( all 600 odd pages ) but if the diehards join a CAMS club to compete and the rest don't , then the social and err.. cruises are a lot less of a drama
