Oh good grief. Surely members now have email addresses. Those without must be in the minority now. How the hell do they function in today's world without an email address?
Making some sweeping assumptions here, but I'm guessing that most boat owners aren't young, are reasonably well off and possibly set in their ways and successfully and possibly influential.
I would suspect that people like that could manage perfectly well without, and I know there are people who would refuse to have an email address for various reasons.
Maintaining the status quo looks ridiculously, and unnecessarily, complicated. If you are the membership secretary you must be in a position to "encourage" change to something much more sensible. The obvious membership ID would be an email address. Push for that.
And I also suspect that rich, influential, stuck in their ways people might push back quite forcefully at that suggestion! Hence the original request!
