Is it possible to stop adverts  via the post and magazine inserts?

I feel I am being inundated with communications from breakdown companies via the Caravan and Motorhome club. I really can't see the point of inserting reams of adverts for 'fence paint', 'double glazing', 'wills', 'life insurance' etc, etc in to the club magazine, I don't read them, I just dump them into the rubbish bin.

I have tried umpteen times to 'unsubscribe' from the breakdown companies mailing list but I still get emails and letters through the post.

Please whoever is in charge, tell me that I won't receive any more 'rubbish' via the post or email.

Do other members have the same problem?

Perhaps the only way to resolve this problem is to leave the club. I am thinking about it.

Do you run out the house and have a go at all the people shoving advertising leaflets through you letter box at all times of the day every day. At least the mag is only once a month.

......the other thing about the advertising in the magazine and the extra leaflets is that these things are there in part to help pay for the magazine.  I just do the same as I do with stuff that comes through the door.  If it's of no use, stick it in the recycling!

Years ago, when we got the post through the door, it was usually something important, like an electric bill orca letter from someone I know.  These days it's more likely to be something for the recycling!!

Life as we live it runs on on advertising, magazines, newspapers, TV, social media, commercial radio etc etc

However if the club thinks that continuous funeral plan inserts are a good way to keep the membership happy then they may have lost the plot somewhat! wink

The club will be going some if it wants to compete on funeral planning  with late afternoon ITV - ever watched Tipping Point/ The Chase/ early evening news. Sometimes it seems that the only break from funeral planning is that annoying bloke asking "ever been involved in an accident?"

Mind you, there are compensations - every so often Lily James comes on advertising for some mobile phone company, not sure which one, I don't listen, I just look! innocentsurprised

Why are you getting stressed wanderer?  Why don't you just put the unwanted paper adverts in the recycling bin rather than the rubbish bin?

Many organisations including CAMC, CCC, English Heritage and NT for Scotland include paper adverts in the envelopes along with magazines to members.

I have heard that the organisations receive some money in return for including these. If that is so, then it is no problem or effort for me to simply recycle them.
