Anyone got pics of historic BAEC cards?
 
I've had a search but couldn't find anything / wasn't using the right terms.

Is there a thread containing images of historic BAEC cards? I'd love to see how they have changed from year to year.

do they actually change every year? or just "sometimes"?
I think they are missing a trick not having the coat of arms on them these days. But personal taste and all that.

Whats your fav?

Thanks.

Damn. I recall seeing some here not too long ago but can't find it either!

Edit: Found this after all, not sure if it helps. All links open ads as I'm on mobile right now.

I have a Blue card from 1997 in a drawer somewhere at home. Will see if I can find it and take a pic next time I'm there :eek:

Fab, I remember those, my mum and dad both had them in silver and at one point gold. I like them.

P.S. When did "bronze" come into play?

November 2011, I believe.

This ugly thing is from the mid-2010s I think:

The original ones had the EC logo on them that was made up of three c's like this:

My Dad had one and as far as I know in the very early days i.e. at launch they didn't have levels of status, you were just in the club.

Hope noone minds me bumping this. Very interested to see more. Hopefully of general interest too.

Any more?

Love the "non smoking trials" flyer in post #10 . Any chance of a scan of this @Jimmie76?

Absolutely you just need to find someone at Waterworld who can do it for you as that's where the piece is ;) It's on display there in an exhibition at the heritage centre. The picture is not from Archive.org like I thought and I'll have to replace it with a link to it as a result.
