The Caravan Club is coming to Facebook

Whether people like Facebook or not is neither here nor there. It has to be recognised that it is a very important means of modern communication and a way of communicating with thousands of people who would otherwise turn their backs on traditional ways of communication. Should the Club ignore this just because a proportion of it members don't like, don't understand it or are even frightened of it? Of course it shouldn't, it needs to use every avenue possible to reach out to widest audience possible. I am surprised it has taken them son long!!!

totally correct David. At last some common sense,

It seems as though this topic, if run as an opinion poll, is definitely leaning towards No to FB

I am not so sure, I have just had a look on FB and so far, at  the moment, 131 people have liked the page so that they get CC posts on to their timeline.

Edit : ( the CCC FB page which has been going much longer has over 60,000 followers )

..........and so am I David. But like a lot of things with the club they seem to spend an age on making a decision.

Like everything with technology those that don't, won't or can't will get left behind but will eventually pass on and so the problem won't exist.

I don't disagree David. It is just that I have no intention of ever using it. It is fine for those that like it. I must admit though, I do find it a little annoying that a few organisations have dropped email as a means of communication. They seem to be going the same way as CD's.

What the club should be doing is offering a level playing field to all it's paying members.

Otherwise, special offers etc will only be for those on the facebook site.

Oh, I see it has already begun.
