Still don't understand the photo ID bit. Photo ID is usually used when you have the person in front of you, and can compare that they are the same person as in the photo. Or you can use to compare one photo to another photo. But if the club are saying photo ID is essentially, what are they comparing the photo with? If they're not comparing the photo to something, and say they're not keeping the photo for future use, then how does it prove anything? What is the point of submitting photos then? What are the club not telling us about photos?
Like others on here, with the club not explaining the photo bit, it doesn't engender confidence.
I think it does discriminate against older people with paper (non-photo) driving licenses. Can't see why a paper driving license is not allowed, as to have one you have to have lived at the same address for many years.
