I have heard rumours but seen nothing in writing.
1. If we decide to remain members, will we continue to receive a plastic credit card style membership card, or will we be forced to download use a phone app?
2. Is the Sites Directory being republished as a paper book, or is this another obligatory phone app?
Posted on 01/01/2023 13:04 by CornersteadyYes I too (and there were about seven) but at a time when prices were relatively stable, now they are not and cannot be forecast so well even over a year, look what happened over 2022.
In my view it would be a retrograde step to use paper copies like you say rather than a website, greener for one thing but it is far up to date and kept up to date
You said you were on a cruise and been abroad with your MH? Did the companies involved have paper copies like the holiday brochures of the past that were sent to you or picked up in the travel agencies? Did you have to go onto their website to either print them off, just like the club? Or perhaps didi you check the current up to date price online?
And even if you had a paper copy from somewhere as described did it have the up to date prices? Did you just go with them or pay the price on the day of booking or online? As soon as something is sent out it's probably out of date.
Your choice but I'm not sure why you need the prices tbh if you're not going to use club sites anyway?

I get the ACSI book each year, do not book ahead and get the price that is in the book. I live in, probably vain, hope that I might find a CAMC site at a reasonable off peak price but finding one is made even more difficult by not quoting prices.

But then to get anywhere near reliable pricing they would have to publish a book per year. Even with ACSI the prices haven't held for two. That would mean extra costs that would have to be passed on. Pointless in my opinion when accurate information is available online. Yes I know there will be times when you can not get a WiFi or 4G signal, but those cases are getting less and less. Times are changing the world is moving online. I keep hoping ACSI will offer a digital membership at a reduced rate. Although we took the book last year we didn’t use it, preferring the App. That’s where the CAMC needs to concentrate it’s resources, on a decent App that can be used offline, rather than the current version which is no more than a front end to the web site.

But use the website, you know your area you want I assume, so just search and have a look?

We receive the books from the likes of NTS and EH and every year we put the new ones in the car. I can't remember ever using one from one year to the next. If we do want to find some of their attractions and when they're open we use the website. Far quicker and of course use them with google maps to see route and time/distances.
Exactly the same as find a club site.
