Calling all members: We're putting the final touches together for our first ever "Club Week". Starting on Monday 12 October, we'll be bringing you the latest information from all of our products and services via a series of daily forums hosted by TV presenter, Club member and campervanner, Matt Allwright.
Matt will be talking to the Club’s Director General, Nick Lomas, about what’s been happening in 2020 (and there’s been a lot!) and looking forward to 2021 and Club plans. If you have a question you'd like Matt to ask Nick, please let us know here by 3 o'clock Friday 2 October ➡️ https://fal.cn/3aEgR

It could well be that the answers were thought up first, and they are now trying to devise suitable questions. Revealing that The Caravan Club know that their own web-site is so abysmal that it can not be relied upon to cope, and they have to go to such a forum as Face book.

Hi all, it will be initially hosted on Facebook but then the videos will be uploaded onto YouTube so I can share them on Club Together. I don't have any more info on the event at this stage but when I do I will let you all know.

IMHO it is sad that this is the official club website but that the 1st available viewing of “Club Week” by members (and non-members I guess) will be on facebook.  I would have thought that HO could have ensured that this was shown simultaneously on all media platforms they will be using.

We don't use face book, but I don't see it as a major issue. It's not as if there is any scope for interaction, like with a Zoom meeting. If they upload it to YT afterwards, I think that is acceptable. We often watch our TV performances as recordings or on catch up in any event. Our local church does exactly the same thing, streams services live on FB and they are available on YT afterwards. As AD put, FB is almost certainly where the majority audience will be.

Of course the questions will be cherry picked and show the Club in the best light.  I suspect few, if any questions on the Club's initial reaction to Covid-19, the abysmal speed of this website, the fact they chose not to extend membership for the unusable period (unlike the CCC, National Trust and other such enterprises) and many other things.

What you say might well be the case but if members don't submit questions in sufficient numbers on the important issues your view will become the truth. Personally I think members need to ask more strategic questions which require the Club to take action. Complaining about things like lack of membership extension is easy for the Club to bat to one side and risks shutting out more important questions. As would complaining about the name change as it ain't going back to what it was however many complaints or questions on that subject. One you mention I certainly agree with is the speed and general performance of this forum/website which we need to hold the Club to account on, especially as they mentioned in their accounts that they had invested in their IT capacity which beggars belief a bit!!! That was certainly a question I put forward. I also made a point about being able to book a hardstanding.

It strikes me that Club Week might well be a means of fending off too many question for the AGM?

iThe IT investment that i have been advised about , was very much to enable staff to as some now still are (about 100) work from home as it is not possible to keep social distancing at EGH

Interesting thought by peedee.  My thoughts (like some others) regarding “Club Week” are that it is most possibly going to be a scripted informational marketing tool especially being aired at this point in time of Covid problems. Stay safe everyone.
