I think wristbands is the way to go. People cannot be charged on the gate (against council rules) but they could be charged £10 to buy a wristband on the gate - may not have a SST but will then be paying the same amount into the pot ready for next year.

they would have to then be registered as a site supporter Jo otherwise it could be seen by the Council as charging entry or even worse charging for the drinks which would cause licensing problems.

could it not be seen as just 'buying a souvenier band' for that weekend, rather than an actual 'fee for entry'? This would be a one-off fee for that weekend only and if they want to be a SST after that then they need to join the normal way, online?!?!?
Just food for thought

Arm band great idea!!
Also at MK.. somewhere to buy an SST... then have youre band, enter into a draw and your donation to the event all in one
raises dosh, and hopefully some site traffic..
factory pilot:
On a selfish note I'd keep Rad sales to SST only but if the survival of the site depended on more traffic ( which comes through sales) then I'd go with letting the SST go. ( reluctantly )
I think funds could be raised in other ways but I'd keep the SST. ( I'd voluntarily pay it even if it wasn't mandatory )
Sticker packs for new members seemed a popular idea on a recent thread?
I'd personally like to see a cool 'Sons of Anarchy' style RadBMX logo that could be put on tees, sweats and jackets and SST could have their Rad Names printed at the bottom of the logo.
It would give us a more solid and easily recognisable identity.
It would also be good for newbies to identify themselves and others on the rides.
Just an idea ... I understand it wouldn't be everybody's cup of tea.
I totally agree with the car sticker/wristband for the helipad/dog and duck.
At the same time I can see the logistics of making/distribution/policing of such things.
For me the freeloaders at present are nothing more than a minor annoyance.
I guess the problem starts to get out of hand when the numbers of loyal SST diminish and the size of the heathen hoardes overruns the event.
Something needs to be done now to preserve our fantastic event.
It's always better to be proactive than wait and wait until it's too late.
Whatever decisions are finally made I'm very happy to continue supporting Rad in any way I can.
The very best of intentions and thoughts,
Ant
