Found offline... the "Caravan Code"

That is not the only thing missing since the web upgrade. I notice the ability to search for sites with economy pitches has gone although there is a list if you know what to look for. The App doesn't have the ability either

Good point well raised Cholsey Grange.

I'll be sure to forward your comments to the Digital Team for possible inclusion in the future. However we worked hard to strip the website of literally thousands of pages containing data that was either very infrequently or never actually visited. 

Your Sites Directory and Handbook is your bible of Ts and Cs, codes of conduct and guidelines. Every Member receives one and therefore that is where we keep all such information.

If we scrap the SD&H the info will most certainly be on the website (but we'd also get lynched by the SD&H devotees in that instance!)

I sincerely hope that that is not going to be the case!! We, and thousands of other regular CL users, would be lost without the it. Promise me that you you were only jesting, and that there's no intention of stopping it's publication. However the way the CC's been going recently I wouldn't be at all surprised if it did disappear.

I'd second that Nellie.  Tried to do CL site search today for Essex using a couple of features we wanted such as 12 month opening, EHU. Pressed search. Sorry no matches! Took out requests and left out requests 43 to choose from some 12 month and ehu! If the club want to go all Internet 😲😲😲 they REALLY need to up their game and prove they can produce a decent website and search facility. Pink flying objects overhead.  

I am sure it's not on the immediate agenda but I wouldn't rule it out completely. Who knows where technology will take us over the next ten years? The key is obviously having the right software with much more frequent updating but it's quite within the bounds of possibility that the Site Directory and Handbook will eventually be online only.

Its use would still be dependant on a decent wifi or phone signal. Not always readily available. A retrograde step if undertaken which would make me seriously review my membership.

I hardly ever use the handbook, the web site is much more up to date when it comes to looking for sites, in fact I wouldn't trust the handbook when it comes to finding a CL. The churn of these is far to high for entries to be reliable and I cannot be bothered with doing handbook updates when there is accurate information already on the web. The Club's focus should be about keeping data up to date and accessible on the web.

I would agree peedee. However, I would add that more effort also needs to be put into getting the app up to date and more useable. If the club ever want to do away with the handbook, a reliable off line alternative is essential.

To me the club sites book is an essential piece of kit when touring. When we are about 30 mins from the next site OH will check final approach info. Rarely use it otherwise.

I do wish they would improve the map for those with some visual problem though and also update it annually. That I do use when planning a tour.

Well the way the club's gone with computer technology so far there's no hope of an on-line site directory being up to date within my life time!! And as you can see from my avatar I'm only a young pup!.
