Recreational registration is different to an Amateur Membership because Amateur Membership gives full DSA voting rights to everyone over 16 years of age, subject to probationary requirements.

You will be transferred to C Grade in all styles with no Elevation Points.

Any unused Participation Points accrued in your Recreational account for voucher redemption will be transferred to your Amateur account.
