My bank offer an "International Bankers Draft" for a hefty fee, but not sure if this would be acceptable.

Has anyone from outside the US successfully joined - if so how did you manage the payment?

Thanks - Rufus.
Try emailing them again, specifying exactly the type of check your bank offers, and asking if they would accept it. If its international, you may be okay.
