    There are cheaper ways of doing it than that - for club members one years free bronze membership, upgrade to silver and that allows you to race on a free day licence. So you can try racing without paying out the full membership and licence straight away.

    I don't think they need to offer more discounts but maybe if they clarified the various options it would be better.
    it's a hard life if you don't weaken.

    I agree with Tom (and with his post in the other licensing thread).
    I raced last year on a (free) provisional licence. You just have to limit yourself to nothing higher then Regional C/C+ events.

    I also did a Regional B+ event and the £5 day licence I had to pay was my only licensing expense for the year.

    Of course you don't get ranking points, but depending on age, ambition etc.. staying Cat 4 may be considered an advantage..
