--- Quote ---I was thinking a folded card with a list of rivers that you can get stamped. Shows progress and means you can see what rivers someone has done.

Don't mean to be a spoil sport, but this could easily create a false perception of ability.
Hypothetically, a person could be invited onto a difficult river in mid-low water. Just because that river is stamped does not mean they would be capable of doing that river again the next day, different water level, different group of people.
Rivers change in difficulty very quickly, there's a lot more to it than what you've done before....

ICU certs can create the exact same false perception, however most of them are treated with more than a grain of salt, the idea of a 'river hitlist' isn't all that bad as it's, like Lorcan said, a bit aspirational for fresher's coming through. I don't think anyone will turn around and say well you have run X rivers and therefore I would automatically assume you are the sh1t... Most people know the ability of other paddlers in the club. It's not a score card or formal system suggested, just a more of a logbook for the hell of it. Might even encourage more people out regularly...
Pure Opinion.
Edit: Diarmaid's suggestion has considerable merit ;-)
Ritchie:
jaysus, we are just looking for a CARD here people, NOT a frickin' treasure map or log-book entry or a what not.... JUST A CARD.... 40X60mm!!!
Diarmaid:
I call dibs on the free membership if an honorary member wins it.
