The final decision would be from your club though

The email is probably okay - call one of the officers at your club and check - if the email is not enough for them, there are some additional options:

1) You can have the AMA FAX a written response - that often carries more weight than a printout of an email.

2) You can ask your club officers whether they are willing to check the AMA database (or call the AMA if they prefer) to verify your status.

3) You can ask your club whether they have any instructors who are designated as "intro" instructors. These specially designated people are allowed by the AMA to perform a limited amount of training with people who are not yet AMA members - that may get you by for long enough while you wait for the AMA card.

Bootom line though - call the club first and get the scoop from them.

Regs,
Gordon
