Volunteers get to say they did. I'm good with that.

So how much time should a volunteer put in to get a free pass?
One day work? But want about those that have worked for a week?
But then there is the person that did help that afternoon with all

shouldn't they also get a free pass? Or maybe if you are just an
officer like a sec or president? Maybe it should be folks that put
in a lot of hard work, or maybe not. maybe those that put in long
hours and didn't sweat? It gets so hard to draw that line. I
wouldn't want to point to one and say you pay and the other and say
your free.
We all pay but then some get to be called "Volunteers".

Everyone, just to make it clear and ease any unnecessary
frustration, the volunteers that are using this "special
registration" are only allowed to assist in leading trips, or
whatever they have volunteered to do. They do not get to go to the
parties, talks, and other events that the paying folk will get to
enjoy. So don't feel like they are "getting a free ride" into the
ICS, they are very limited on what they can do.
They were given the registration to cover them under ICS insurance
so that they could help us lead the trips. In fact, without these
people, there would be half of the caving trips that we have
offered. So if you pay the $15 and go caving, chances are that the
trip you are on is ONLY possible because of some of these
volunteers, so be thankful! They are playing a large role in the
ICS that many of the paid people aren't willing or able to do.

Yeah, well maybe we should, but we're not. Perhaps I could have
volunteered through the whole thing and not registered, but not
with my head held high. Not when so many others HAVE paid
essentially to work for free.

They should be registering--and paying. No free ride here, boy howdy.
I don't think anyone is getting a free ride, they are helping the
ICS but are NOT getting any of the benefits of a paid ICS
registration (parties, free beer, banquets, etc.).
We should be glad they are giving some of their time to help the
ICS for free.
FYI: I am registered (I paid my $200 back in Dec 2008) ... but I
think volunteers should get a free ride. But that's totally my
opinion.

Plus the many Texas cavers who are volunteering (cave trip
leaders/van drivers/Aggies) but are not registering. They count
too.
