Has any one received a 2014/15 membership card yet? I cant remember what month they send them out
does it actually matter? apart from CnC sugar.

Last few years year it has been a press out section of the address sheet with the BBKA News mailing, easily missed if you normally bin cover sheets without looking. It was noticed that the underprinting for the 2013/14 card actually still had 2012/13. A letter was issued "to whom it may concern" dated 28th May. So the cards probably went out with the May Newsletter. I wouldn't expect it before then.Has any one received a 2014/15 membership card yet? I cant remember what month they send them out
Yes as I'm looking at getting an allotment for bees, but the council requires proof of being a member of an association like the BBKA to let you keep bees on an allotment.
Not had one either.

Not had mine yet.
The BBKA informed me that my membership runs from June to June which is when I joined via my local BKA. This month I have not received my beekeeping mag neither. I emailed them about a late arriving mag earlier in the year and the BBKA could not even be bothered to reply to my email, All in all I am not that impressed with the BBKA so far.
I think most Associations want to get people paid up before April so they can send on the BBKA 'capitation' fees. Note that there is a similar Spring deadline for the BDI (compensation insurance).8.2 The capitation sums specified in Clause 8.1 above shall fall due on one of two dates each year.
8.2.1 The primary date shall be 1st April and payment shall be made before 30th April and will cover all those Registered, Partner, Country and Junior Members who have been or become members during the period from the start of the BBKA Financial Year, i.e. 1st October preceding.
8.2.2 The secondary date shall be 1st September for those who become members after the primary date and up to and including the secondary date. Payment shall be made before 30th September.
8.2.3 No capitation shall be due for registrations made after the secondary date, but shall be payable for the subsequent membership year as per Clause8.2.1 above.
They are now sending the issuance certificate via email, which is handy, as I don't have to scan it in now.
