Last year I decided on the day to join and enter the C70 in the BKV and pleasantly surprised came second in class. I have thoroughly enjoyed my membership in the last year and will continue.

This is exactly my point. You were able to show up on the day and given the option to join. No pressure and a friendly welcome and you have kept your membership going. Just one of the many success stories.
In all honest when I spotted this the other day I thought it was some daft covid measure. I can not say I have ever noticed any issues with swarms of non members showing up and detracting from a BKV.
If it is really felt that non members are over crowding the BKV then why not charge a small entry fee refundable on purchase of club membership? Just a thought
