mick i agree with you about how your club would deal with it and that is how i have dealt with change of status when i was secretary of my local club but i was referred to region secretary and she advised me that my partner to be had to apply in his own right and be in the clubs radius. I have since spoke to the rpra at the reddingsand they told me to put it in writing to my region who in turn will seek guidance from council I think this is all a big joke as if i had just applied to the rpra for a name change they told me it would have gone through no problem now in their words they dont want to tread on anyones toes. Makes you wonder why we bother next time i will go straight to rpra and do it then inform clubs of new flying name, in meantime i have wrote to the region asking for a ruling and what rule it comes under because i cant find it anywhere in the rules or any rule that i have broken
