This club could be fantastic, if only it was to listen to its members, some reasons below;

1. Very slow website, cannot find a website as slow as this one, even ones you do not have to pay for!

2. Inability to search for fully serviced pitches (perhaps because they do not have many)

3. Being superseded by free forums such as Adults only caravan sites on Facebook

4. Wasting money, why does the club not ask all members if they need a magazine, I would have been happy to have an electronic version, also helping the environment

5. With all my posts asking for reasons for these issues not being addressed and approaching the site directly no action has been taken, or even reasons why they cannot

I have enjoyed the discussions on the site and interestingly my concerns have been covered several times by others. Note the times I go on the website has to be on off peak times due to the slow website.

It is sad that I will not be renewing my membership, as I do not intend to pay for membership where there is no official feedback from the club when issues are raised.

Hopefully I will rejoin when basic issues are sorted out.

Kind Regards

Derek

I thought that motorhomers would be catered for in the way many of us like to tour

I appreciate that many of you like to tour that way but it is not representative of the all MH club users is it? From the growing numbers of MH that have joined since the re-brand and looking at how many MH there are on sites at present it would appear not.

But why try and change the club to suit your own needs? As been pointed out there are other places that appear to cater better for your needs, use them?

btw you've said you like CCC, do they do things differently there and meet your touring needs better?

Quoting peedee above:

"It still thinks one size fits all and charges accordingly. As a result, for those not requiring full fat facilities they are expensive for many especially for short stays which is an increasing requirement due to the growth in motorhome ownership…… The pricing structure needs to change to make short stays more viable I …. would look into the introduction of a tariff for “Quick Stops” for motorhomes."

Agree absolutely. When the Club's name changed I thought that motorhomers would be catered for in the way many of us like to tour. Being able to arrive and not have to "book in", but have some kind of prearranged payment or barrier card affair, allowing us to arrive later would be a start - the kind of Quick Stop (to use peedee's phrase) touring we enjoy elsewhere.

No idea why you thought that WTG.

I am trying to change nothing. I am merely expressing an opinion.

well not to me you did write

That to me suggests you would like to see those changes being applied to the club? But thanks for the clarification

Does the CCC that you like give you that style of touring you enjoy any more than the club?

Nor me as it was pretty clear it was just a marketing exercise to make the club appeal to the growing number of new MH-ers.
