I've had membership cards printed for Beoir subscribers and I'll be sending them out over the next few weeks. It'll mean that everyone will have proof of membership out in the real world, and a unique membership number.
This means that if any businesses (pubs, offies, homebrew suppliers etc) want to set up a discount or other benefits scheme for Beoir members, we can support that. In fact, we actively encourage it <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="

" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D --> I'm happy to verify membership numbers if they're being used as proof of membership in online transactions.
It'll take a while to get them all sent out, and I might have to get in touch with a few people to confirm addresses and whatnot, so please be patient.
