The same Club, just better...

I thought the handbook was normally released before booking day, but held back this year because of the big announcement. However, as it lasts for two years it is going to be out of date, re prices at the very least, in the second year.

Another reason that grass pitches seem to be in a worse state now than in the past,  could be down to the fact that the tractor mounted equipment that made grassed areas far simpler to keep in good condition,  that in the past was available to site staff, has been withdrawn ,and no sensible reason has been given for that decision,according to wardens i have spoken to,  making it almost impossible to repair compaction and airate  large areas

That has always been the case,but up until the last mid life of the sites directory a suppliment was always issued, but as seems to be recently the Head Honchos at Grimstead did not consider the membership, and decided it was not needed, so to get any updates including the 2016 site fees you had to go "on line"

All part of the service  - vastly improved in line with management requirements and no doubt to reflect members' wishes? 

I wonder if this thread will last longer than the Sunday Departures thread

the changes have come as a total suprise! How much are these cosmetic changes costing and could this not have been better spent on site upgrades?

Nah, it'll be closed before the end of next week I expect - maybe sooner as management have now imparted the exciting news that members have long awaited!

With the strength of feeling by the big majority of posters on here ,and i understand face ache, you could well be right

I agree with you MM and ET. I have tried both and prefer my car and Caravan, but that does not mean their is anything wrong with with a motor caravan (sorry motorhome now), they all seem equally nice people to me.

I never could understand faceache. Seems like navigating through a tropical forest without compass or map and wearing a blindfold
