Who on earth wrote that Facebook post?! "The BWOC die to good publicity..."

I was more concerned with the lack of SSL on the entry form, as we've all just sent our name, address and phone number over an unencrypted session to a website we can't verify the identity of. What makes it worse is that anyone who wanted to capture traffic knew exactly when to listen because of the defined opening time for entries, making it easy to grab everything in one lump to go through at their leisure
It's the same on the BRCA membership renewal page, no SSL - although arguably less of a security issue given the spread out nature of people making submissions.

I really appreciate the effort the BRCA is making to embrace things like online entry to events rather than faffing around with cheques etc, but it feels a bit rushed/not ready at the moment.
