I thought it was just a belt which number clips on to, so you can swap it from back (for cycle) to front (for run) Waz. But never having actually seen one, what do I know. Why wouldn't a bit of string do?! Minimalist kit! 
Macca, is it just me, or do tri suits not look like lycra baby rompers. There are websites for that kind of get up, you know! :-)G

Sorry, read back and I'm lost. But entry is normally less if you have a BTF license, and you don't buy a day license - double win.

that's cos you is an expert Greppers:) I did say that I thought :)G had is numbers the wrong way round - but as I see it £40+ = at least 8-10 races or you lose out? Have I missed something?

If you are part of a tri club do you still get money off at running races. Can you tick the affiliated box? I am wondering about dumping my running club membership.

Good luck, W'zah I tried that. Secretary of the tri club advised me not to as it is an administrative mess, and likely to be 'unpopular'.

What is a "day licence" then? It seems to imply that it is a compulsory thing to have a licence, whether annual or day. But the Tri I have entered offered a price for "with BTA" licence and a price with no BTA licence. There was no mention of having to buy a "day licence". I don't mind doing so, but am just surprised that there has been no mention of it. And if photo ID is required for a "day licence" then I don't want to not have such a thing with me (often don't carry my driving licence with me). ANyhoo, I'm sure it will all be OK.
BTW, I did get the pricing right way round - more without a BTA licence (£25) than with a BTA licence (£22.50) - makes sense. A discount for those who are already BTA licence holders/members? :-)G

Your entry will include your 'day licence'
BTA membership also provides insurance for training, therefore, although I only plan to enter 4-6 tri events this year, I have dumped my British Cycling membership as the insurance benefits were duplicated.

Well I'm more likley to do 10+ running races than 10+ tris and the penality for not being affiliated or licensed is usually about £5. Tri club is more expensive than running club... so might be worth seeing if England Athletics Affiliation is thrown in.
