Dynamic pricing to be introduced

It’s not just anger issues but also a lack of consideration for others and the environment. Also, I’m appalled by the amount of litter strewn about particular around motorways, railway lines and city approach roads. I’ve never seen it as bad.

Sadly, it’s nearly always front line staff of any organisation that bear the brunt of Mr and Mrs Angry, and I always think it’s hard, because they are seldom in a position to respond beyond toeing the official line. Anyone abusing such staff immediately shows their own weakness and inability to resolve their own issues. I sincerely hope that if things do get serious, then HQ defends those staff where appropriate, and deflects the flak away from those who caught up in unpopular policies and procedures.

I have watched two AGMs these past years, via Zoom like technology, and have to say have been totally underwhelmed in terms of content, responses and reports back. Perhaps the AGM isn’t the best place to raise anything really, as it seems totally stage managed prior to taking place.  Reports have to be delivered, the content is generally published prior to the meeting, beyond that nothing much else actually happens unless there is a bunch of flowers to be given out. I can only recall one question from the floor that was of any interest, and somewhat ironically, 18 months on, the Club are having to trial that suggestion of metered hook ups, but still showing a degree of reluctance to take such things on board. Any questions submitted via email aren’t discussed, and you only have to read through the responses to realise most are shoehorned into certain categories and given a generic Club response. Much like what is happening on TP. 

Regional meetings are possibly livelier, and need to be. There wasn’t a single response to any questions from the floor last October. Unbelievable given what was going on at the time with the implementation of the new booking system. The whole shebang, from the lowliest Committees right up to the AGM needs a review and some better input from away from the three main reports. A simple regional feedback would be a start, and perhaps get more folks interested. I question if central London is the best location as well, think it’s been there a couple of years running now. Expensive and not that easy for a lot of folks to get to if you are anywhere but SE based.

Executive Committee……

When society’s leadership, the things we all expect to be driven by morals, standards, decency, honesty, etc… are shown to be failing (Parliament, the Crown, the Police, to name a few) then the code is broken for many, and sadly bad behaviour, dishonesty, lack of caring by some impacts on us all. Going to take some pulling around after decades of neglect☹️

Micky, totally off thread but this time of the year always shows up the worst of the litter when hedgerows and banks etc are at their most bare. Always a shock to see but an annual event sadly.

Other than  that I hope the club are listening and I disagree in a friendly way with Cornersteady, I think they do notice social media comments.

I never said they did not notice, in fact as I did say they to respond to them they must do.

For once I had a look at TP regarding the club and really what struck me is that it is far more positive than here on CT. There are the same many 'issues' and complaints as on CT but also a lot more compliments about the club and it's sites, with, far more than on here (Lovely tidy site,Great location, great staff, great pitch and facilities  even better than three years ago, I have been caravanning for over 40 years and for most of that time we have used the wonderful location sites and will continue to use them), I realise this is only today's snapshot but again I'll say that it outfits on pitches and income, the club will take more from, as well as all the positives posts there as well of course. And no I've never posted on TP about club sites.

If I was the club reading them I'd be quite heartneded as it gives a far more balanced view.

The club does respond on certain posts, good and bad, but really as I see it it's all just PR speak, there are no indications to me that anything is going to change either way.

Deleted User User I'm sorry to read you're still in hospital. Hopefully it won't be much longer 🤞

Sorry comment is off topic 

Many of the site reports are as a consequence of a request from the club. They would be more helpful if the site was named. There are quite a few bemoaning the cost of sites.

It doesn’t surprise me that the balance on TP seems to be sites good, Club experience bad (I generalise). Because people know what to expect from Club sites, clean facilities, neat and tidy site, helpful wardens, people like the sites. Also many of those people rarely experience other full blown sites. I think the whole booking debacle and deposits has encouraged more people to consider and use private sites. If I am correct, over the next year as people experience those sites they may well have a less positive view of club sites.

I have only just received the March edition of the Club magazine. I notice that the DG column was about the Club as a club, and I do wonder if that was triggered as a result of the many views expressed complaining about the Club having lost its club and member emphasis.

The majority of positive comments on TP are what I would class as site reviews and invited. Reviews whatever they are but the rest are as negative if not more than CT.

Could be correct but it doesn't alter my main point that that it's outfit on pitches and booking that the club will look at rather than any social media comments, responded to or not.
