The HSE are not trying to catch out genuine clubs who are teaching their members. What they are after is the commercial instructors who are trying to avoid following HSE regulations by claiming they are a 'club'.

If you are a genuine BSAC/SAA or other volunteer club then the HSE have better things to do than chase after you.
