The non-manager could do as they liked, rules be damned., and AERC had no control. The Ride Manager who rode and had a "day manager" who was not a member could just slough off any problems by saying "well he is not an AERC member so did not know". We had to stop up that loop hole.

Yes, but they could have a cheaper,'non-riding' membership, since they have no points to track and don't need a years worth of Endurance News, etc.  Ride manager of record is still, at least morally, responsible--if there was a non-riding rm category, all they would need from AERC is the rule book and forms, no?
