Rcrc?

I'm happy to contribute some cash to the running of the site. Maybe a Paypal donation button, with a suggested annual donation for regular users, would be the way to go.

The list of race permits issued on the ARC website doesn't look particularly impressive to me; I don't tend to take much notice on race entry forms, but the affiliation discount always seems to be for UKA rather than ARC. And of course such discounts wouldn't be of any benefit to non-UK-based members, who probably make up more than 50% of RC's membership. So the only benefit of ARC affiliation that I can see is publicising RC, via the ARC site and because the name might start to appear on race results (if indeed UKA-certified races recognise ARC-affiliated clubs - and there seems no love lost between the two organisations).

Maybe publicising the site could be done better by putting in lots of appearances at events in the club vest (complete with URL). A small mark-up on the vest could also be a way of bringing in cash instead of the donation.
