ROA Membership

[ivanjica]

I was wondering is anyone able to tell me if ROA badges are transferrable to relatives? My old man has just become a member and tells me it gives him access to all racecourses free of charge (presumably to the Owners and Trainers facility)?

On days when he does not need it can he loan it to family members or is it non transferable?

It takes the form of a plastic card with your photo on and says on the back "not transferable".

Mind you, I guess you might get away with it if the guy on the gate isn’t too observant or officious. Nobody’s ever studied mine too closely.

Also, it doesn’t get you entry to every single meeting. When your Dad’s stuff comes through, he’ll get a booklet with a list of what they call "participating fixtures". It covers most to be honest, but not the festivals/major meetings, although it does apply to all meetings at Donny, so that should include the St Leger meeting I guess.

And yes, it does get you into the owners/trainers facilities.

Hope that helps a bit, let me know if you need any other info.
