Either way, it remains quite a challenge to get yourself a full membership of the club as you need to be both proposed and seconded by full members, and then be able to demonstrate to the committee that you have a respectable record of achievement in competition.
As far as associate membership goes, the club only elects one new member a year. I know one lapsed member who used to sponsor & run the new Chairman of the club during his competition career and is trying to renew his membership. It really all depends how long he or the others in the 20 strong waiting list live as to whether he manages to achieve his objective.
