Well this is embarrassing - anyone want to sponsor me in at York?

Heading that way.

Thanks Marty! I was afraid I drove 90 miles for nothing.

Yet another dumb York rule

Certainly seems... heavy handed

It's not dumb at all. York is a private meet for members and guests but its apparent you don't understand that.

He could have joined there and not needed someone to bring him as a guest.

Is that so they can keep the fiction of it not being a sales event and call it a swap meet? 

Yes, that is part of the reason.

In my fuzzy memory I had it backwards; I thought you could enter as a guest without being sponsored, but needed to be sponsored for membership. If Marty hadn't been so quick to help me out, I probably would have figured out that I could buy a membership to get in.

If you have not attended before there will be someone at the registration table from TCA who will take your info and sign you in.  The rule remains you can only do this once.  I did that last Spring, smooth transaction.  FYI, there is good reason for all the fuss, York is unlike anything you have every seen.  If you are just leaving now and will not arrive for several hours you have already lost valuable time.  It is difficult if not impossible to see everything in a single day.

"Sponsor" is a poor choice of words on my part.  I'm posting on the fly and "escorted" didn't seem to fit.   If you are not a member you have to have someone willing to let you in as a guest which you may only do once.  You no longer need to have two members sponsor you for membership.

 

Regardless, I'm happy you were able to get in and that Marty saw your post.  I hope you enjoy the meet.
