I had similar experiences about two or three years ago. The US chapter 
wouldn't accept me as I was in the UK and the UK chapter wouldn't offer 
the free associate membership.
Tried again a few months ago - apparently you can register with 
'Connect' for free, although I couldn't find the free option at the time 
and ended up paying 35 euros. You live and learn...
