Ring them. They'll send you a letter out to collect your badge.

I also applied for NATIONAL RETURNS CENTRE Belfast, had registration on 23rd October and have passed my security checks, just wondering if you have heard anything yet?

They said that it would be Maidstone Mail Centre ME14 1AA if anyone is called in early and not Medway, as the bulk load of mail will go to Maidstone this year.

So doesn't look like it.

If you hadn't been offered a position on the day then its likely your on a waiting list.
