In the words of a person on the zoom call this morning I?d like to put it on record I?m absolutely appalled at the prospect of losing our BCA membership cards. Many a time I?ve *mistakenly* pulled it out instead of a debit card and sparked a conversation about caving.
You want people to be able to sign up via clubs as I can fully imagine university students not being bothered to do both. So if possible signing up by the end of the year should yield cards being sent round. Heck make it opt in if you really want. I?d pay ?10 for a galvanised steel BCA membership card. Or just keep membership numbers + name on them and leave out the expiry date, that way you can avoid sending loads every year
I just think they are a nice touch and we should keep them as part of the cavers arsenal
