Yeah, good luck with that. I head over to CYC from time to time and even if it's just for an hour or two, they are serious sticklers for my current year yacht club badge. They also want reservations made early if you come for Sunday brunch though there always seems to be plenty of room and food. In early February, when I didn't have my new badge yet, I had to get the HMBYC office to write a letter saying I was a member in good standing. When a group of us went over there on Father's Day last year, they said there was no way they'd have room for us to eat. When we arrive, maybe 4 tables were taken up. I love the place and they're all super friendly when you're there, but it's curious why management is so overly difficult with visitors.
