I think that the truth of the matter is that few of us really belong to a club in the sense that we partake of regular club events. The number of people who list yACF as their "club" is clear evidence of this. I am a member of Didcot Phoenix (and as it happens Reading CC), but my total involvement with DP this year has been to partake in 2 or three Sunday Club-runs, to help at one TT, and to ride one audax event. To be amassing AUK club points for DP is a bit of a joke really. I could just as easily have them allocated to ReadingCC, or to yACF. All would be equally irrelevant.
So I can see why some of the more dedicated club members feel a bit put out that the AUK Club Points Championship can be skewed in this way. Though I believe there are many members of VC167 and Willesden who have virtually no real contact with "their" club. Probably even less than I have with DP.
And there's another angle to this. Within DP there are other audaxers, notably MattC of this parish. He and I are very close on total points this year, and I am in the slightly embarrasing position that I might well lift the club's audax award, though Matt is far more of a club "member" than me. We have had banter over it, and I'm sure we won't fall out over it.
