No, it's now just a digital membership card.

Which for anyone organising races or racing is proving to be a pain.

Can you request a physical one. I had this issue with the British Mountaineering council with whom have a membership mainly for the 15 % discount at Cotswold outdoor. As I tend to buy most of my stuff at their shops it’s much easier to show a card than fart about on your phone trying to find your digital card. When I raised it they sent me a card out.
As I’m just a member of BC for the insurance so I would be tempted to say unless they send me a physical card I will go elsewhere.

Are they still sending membership card out ?

That's a shame!
It was a good (quite literal) 'card to show', in an argument with the 'grumblers'

It took several days to get answered, the recorded message stated waits of up tp "45 minutes"
I did manage to speak with someone within 15 minutes & renewed it

Did you have someone to take it turns waiting on the phone while you ate, drank, slept and carried out other bodily functions during those days?

Not currently, although they've commented they're working on doing a physical card on request. I'd have one just to make life easier sometimes rather than logging in digitally.

My gripe with the digital card is I pay for a race licence and they're needed if you race. Therefore imo for the extra that's charged a physical card should be provided.
