Definately.  Just approach an exec member at the meeting (there are
usually a couple crowding around the front of the room :)

If the cash box isn't there when you arrive an exec member can grant you
provisional use of the network in expectation of you joining when the cash
box does arrive.

Club policy is that we'll normally allocate 2 IPs to a member to start and
will then allocate on the basis of "you can reasonably demonstrate you can
use them".  So if you brought 7 boxes regularly to a meeting we'd give you
7 IPs for use at meetings :)
