What is the British Triathlon Federation (BTF) day membership for?

Why is there no reduction in cost for BTF annual members?

How do I use a number belt?
  A number belt means that you do not have to put safety pins through your new triathlon clothing! You simply attach your number to the race belt and then put the race belt around you. It can then be moved to show the number on your back for the bike and on the front for the run. To purchase a number belt CLICK HERE
