Aside from grading/experience, and number of days done overall in a season, we are all equal and should be treated equally.
I'm not sure that anyone's actually said either of those things, and certainly it doesn't appear to be the experience actually at an event.

I'm all for encouraging people to try other events where they haven't experienced the enjoyment of a clubbie. In the end, as Dave said earlier, we're all volunteers and should be able to choose where and when we participate in our hobby. However, we have no right to expect to be included especially where our or our colleague's safety is involved. As long as the selection criteria is clear and fair we'll just have to live with it where it affects us. It's a situation where someone's going to have to be disappointed, you just have to trust that those not selected are grown up enough to take it on the chin.
