Hi John,
That's certainly a rather unfortunate experience. Personally I have attended what must be dozens of campsites over the last few years, with and without motorcycles. To be fair the practice of giving receipts tends to vary massively between those that accept card payments and always produce the paperwork, to those that are in a rural backwater and money is paid to someone wandering about occasionally with not so much as a thanks (though usually thanks followed by a good hour long chat is on the cards).
I have lost count of the times I have been asked for payment twice (this especially seems to happen when you're in a large group or your appearance has changed), haven't been asked at all and have had to find when the site owner is hiding out and post the cash before leaving, and on a couple of occasions have had the moral dilemma you raise. However (in my opinion), you know you have paid, and whoever is responsible for the money (be it site owner or organizer) should have made better mental or proper notes, or indeed done what you suggest.
Finally to my point. It would be a real shame to lose you from the group, especially over something like this. I think it's fair to say everyone who attends a meet brings something individual and interesting to every event (even if it is yacht varnish and Dulux 
), and without them it is noticeably missing and lets face it, without the individuals the gatherings wouldn't be that at all.
Anyway, hope to see you at the Lincolnshire run, it's only round the corner, and camping is free so no bailiffs 
Much Love
Ric
