Both Provisional and Active members are invited to attend monthly membership meetings. Both receive the monthly newsletter and both are invited on press trips at the discretion of the party hosting the press trip. Guests are rarely invited on press trips (but again this is at the discretion of the press trip hosts). The one difference between Provisional and Active membership is that Provisional members do not receive a press card from BATW. This is an exclusive privilege of Active membership.
