    Namba membership cards

    I'm not sure what these costs to produce, but with most everyone having a smart phone, could some monet be saved by just emailing a copy.

    Good idea. I was sorta hoping for a double secret decoder ring though.

      Technology + NAMBA??? Good luck. Good idea though. I pretty much always have my phone, rarely have card on me.

        Actually the current NAMBA hierarchy is much more technology savvy than in the past. I remember an argument I had with a former secretary (several years ago) who would absolutely not use common computerized mailing lists and envelope printing. I was trying to save the secretary time, but all I got was why it wouldn’t work. I gave up.

          I have to much junk in my wallet already. I took a picture of it and put it in a folder on my phone that I can find.

            You are right Fluid, the new online voting and registration is much better than having to mail things in. Steven, I don't even carry a wallet, got tired of all the extra BS you can pack into one. Just a money clip for me.

                Not quite the same as a e-card, but both orgs maintain a current year membership roster on their websites.

                  I was at our local IMPBA club meeting last night and the Club heiarchy got confused when my buddy said to contact the power boaters we send a group text out. Totally confused the guys. "Flip phones unite"

                    I think crazy that NAMBA still mails a paper copy of rules and Nats...etc even though it all online.

                        Ha, since I have a large head that method should also work for me.

                          We have club members that don't have email and don't use computers. They rely on others to take care of anything required to be done on line. Super annoying.

                            Another membership card-type requirement (at orficial events) :

                            NAMBA rulebook
                            Section : SAFETY
                            Section # 8
                            Page 1
                            Revised 2/15/14

                            GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS

                            1. "NAMBA members must have their NAMBA numbers on their boats and their backs
                            (my bold) Minimum number sizes will be 1-1/2" on the back ........."

                              Tony, yer a relatively intelligent guy so I'll ask you.....how come?

                              The safety rules are there to protect us and the organizations from.....well.......us. That's how I always think of it. I have no problem with safety rules. We can't be too safe. We need to force people to be responsible. It's a dangerous hobby. The rules need to actually negate some danger though. IMPBA has the same rule plus or minus. I get grief for questioning these type of rules but how do numbers on shirts or the boats for that matter increase safety? I've been racing a while now and can't for the life of me think of a risk that this requirement addresses. Numbers on my back to identify my body after a tornado? The insurance company says so is not an answer. It's the lazy answer but still not an answer.

                              It's much like IMPBA requiring batteries be removed from boats for charging. A rule fueled by ignorance that provides no safety. Although that may a bad comparison. Requiring batteries be removed makes sites less safe. The numbers thing merely serves no purpose.

                              I know............in my best monotone............... Wealljustdowhatwedocuzthat'showit'salwaysbeendoneD on'tquesstionitTerryGetbackinlinewiththerestofthes heeple.

                              It's in books. There it will remain for ever and ever amen.
