Hi all,

we joined the CC in may/june but have just realised thatvwe have been sent the members handbook for 2015-2016. This only has prices valid until Dec 2015 after which it says they will be changed so our book was at least 5 months out of date at time of recieving it.

anybody else noticed this when they got theirs? Going to call the club tomorrow and get a new one but felt it strange they would still be sending old stock out that late in the season

It's not an annual publication so a new one will be out for 2017/18

that seems a bit stupid to me as the info is out of date already. The wife was looking at a site and wanted to know price but it said it was only correct until Dec 2015 so until 2017 all books will be wrong and therefore a waste of time and money. Whats the point in printing all those books when you may as well just get a list of sites and referall to website for correct info

The prices can be out of date the moment the book is published.

No way around that so most ring the site to check on the latest prices. Even web sites can carry out of date info but there is no real excuse for that.

By the way, if you really want to tear your hair out, check out the fluid / dynamic  pricing on the Camping club sites.

Someone must have been on the Ryanair customer service course to come out with that one!

It is an extremely valuable/essential publication for members without the internet.

It is very useful for members who don't have the internet when out and about.

If the price rise in the second year is critical to you and you haven't got access to the internet the CC and the sites are all contactable  on the phone....numbers in the book!

Wasn't there a supplement issued with 2016 prices in it - or is that a figment of my imagination?

I do agree that it is a great guide for those without internet but if it is that far out of date then why bother printing prices at all?? 

It was just an obsevation that i hadnt realised that in the middle of 2016 we were getting old info, I just thought they were shifting old stock on new members LOL. Didnt realise either that it was a Bi-annual book so yeah saved me a call.

As far as I know they have knocked the supplement on the head.

Might be wrong on that though.

If you have Internet you can go on cc website and download a 2016 price up date ,or as we did ring East Grinstead and they sent us a copy in the post , as already stated the Handbook is a Biannual publication , there was until this year a supplement issued,I do not think any one has yet come up with a response as to why it was discontinued,the 2017/18 Handbook should come out in December
