On Saturday, we conducted a random ID check at the door to confirm the identity of all members attending the screening that night. While most people were able to present photo ID matching the names on their membership cards, there were a few instances in which cards were confiscated after they were found being used by a person other than the named member.
We take this opportunity to remind members that, as per our Conditions of Membership, membership cards can only be used by the person who completed and signed the membership form. Cards cannot be lent, given, or otherwise used by any other person. Random checks may be conducted at any time to enforce this.
Please also ensure that you carry photo ID with you at all times in the event that your identity needs to be verified for any reason.
