| ARA membership numbers... letter |
So those of us based in the UK know that our ARA numbers have a letter in the middle. Over the years I've decoded most of these... U is under 14 J is junior A/B/C/D are students (I don't know if it goes any further as I was only a student for 4 years) S is senior G is non-racing But what's H? Anyone got any ideas? I've got a junior who's sent me a membership number with an H in the middle, and according to our entries secretary she's not in OARA as eligible to race, but she's meant to be racing this coming Saturday... argh! Thanks in advance, Caroline |

Would have to be non-racing or indoor to be not on OARA... |

A second thought occurs, but I would doubt it is relevant as it would not explain the letter- my club has another similarly named club close by and year in year out some muppet puts the wrong one down. As I say, doesn't explain the letter but if all you have is the code then it is worth checking. Also another one of my special bunch declared themselves to have 0 points recently instead of being novice which didn't help with OARA, and to think that one day they may get a degree...! |

I expect it's like the (very) old classification system of the British Board of Film Censors (as was). Details at http://tinyurl.com/66l3a2but to save you looking it up H =3D Horror.
