Your Membership Card is now available digitally

no problem getting 4g signals on my phone.

I never get any signals on my tablet, apart from wifi.  My phone is a speaking phone that does not "do" applications.

Unfortunately it is of no use to many members OH who usually do the checking in at reception ( my OH has just accused the club of discrimination )...and as already said...pity it is not available to put in the 'wallet'. Who are these members that have 'inspired' the club... 

Perhaps we should un-invent the wheel for you.

And Rowenas post suggests to me that its optional to go digital ....

I take it you mean it only seems to show the lead cardholder. I agree, not sure why they can’t show the second card name as well. Perhaps that will be in the later update.

Hopefully the later update will also run offline. This version that checks if you are a member on the day of visit would not work at Clumber, there is no 4G. So unless you are paid up for the club Wi-fi it’s the hard copy version only.

If the COVID App is anything to go by it will be a lot quicker just to show your membership rather than fire up your phone?

But here isn't representative of the club's membership, whatever those that post on here think. There are very many who use basic phones and are not up to date with all the latest gizzmos.

Which is more than the club has........

As far as I can see the app is way behind with regard to which CLs are open or not.

I’ve no idea on the proportion of membership with smart phones but I would not be surprised if it was a significant majority.

However, does it really matter, it’s there for those who want to use it. For those who don’t there is still the card. Of all the cards I have, I can’t think of one that has discontinued the hard copy when they introduced an electronic version. I therefore don’t think they are likely to phase it out.

 It is now just a matter of time until there will be a charge for being issued a plastic card - though it will be marketed as a "discount" in the same way as going paperless has been.  Remember you read it here first.

I think quite a few members (both on here and not) would have preferred the money and IT effort being applied to the small change required to make booking hard-standing v. grass available.
