They will also receive an electronic copy of the Laws of the Game, similar to the one that will be available on the BCGBA website.
If the applicant does not have an email address then the membership email will be sent to the club secretary. In future the BCGBA will be looking introduce digital membership cards that members can keep in the wallet on their smart phone.
