We now have a much greater presence on social media and we simply do not want the event to be taken over by non members. It would not be fair on the fee paying members.

The social media presence has not changed at all in recent years so I do not see the logic there.
I fully agree the event is for members but turning away non members detracts from the members experience in my opinion. Non members can not compete in the BKV so there is no issue there. Non members usually turn up in a Volvo. Non members often buy from the traders/autojumblers, non members do boost the event. The BKV is also the golden opportunity to sell membership. Every year I speak to at least one non member who tells me they have decided to join. Holding them at gun point is hardly the way to sell
