In the past all cards went to Paris, now the cards are held by auk till stickers/paperwork are sent from pairs and cards are returned to organizer . well so i am told.
We don't even have to wait for anything mailed from Paris any more. ACP generate a page or pages of 'stickers' electronically for our validation secs to print, affix to the cards, and return to the organiser. The record for this process (from brevets cards arriving in mail with the validation sec, right through to the cards, complete with stickers, being mailed back to organiser) is
one hour.One big issue for a event like B.c. using paypa,l is the large amount of cash Paypal could refused to release till after the event leaving Richie with no working capital to fund the event.
Indeed !
The youth hostel for the event has to be booked two, if not three, years in advance !
But ultimately it is the organiser's event, for them to run as they wish. Some organisers want ONLY Paypal, some don't want anything to do with it. AUK cannot, will not, impose a requirement for online entry on organisers so.....
I don't have a cheque book, I don't know anyone who does have a cheque book.
Go and ask your bank for one. Be the envy of all your friends, you'll have something that none of them have got.
