Following some confusion with the ACU online entry system, we have become aware that members who joined RMC via post are not currently showing as RMC members on the ACU website.  This means that they are having difficulty entering our trials online.

To simplify things moving forwards we ask that only members wishing to extend their 2020 paid up membership send their application to us via post.  Please use this membership form (if you haven’t already done so) RMC Membership Form 2021 – UPDATED  We would also ask if anyone wanting to take advantage of this extension could do this by 31st March 2021.

Anyone else wishing to take 2021 membership and be able to enter our trials online should do this via the ACU website.  Membership is £12 for a full year of fantastic trials here in the Yorkshire Dales.

Many thanks for your support with this.
