No, once you haven't been a member for 6 months you lose your handicap as far as I know. However, you should just have to hand in 3 cards once you join a club, along with a letter detailing your situation and your previous handicap which should also be taken into consideration.
I got down to 8 and let a membership lapse when I effectively gave up the game for 3 or 4 years. I resumed on 8 when I joined up my current club (3 cards and a simple letter to the handicap sec.).
