I would like to propose a two tier membership to the Club.

The first tier would be full membership has it is now.

The second tier would be the use of CL Sites only.

If you held CL membership only, you could still use other club sites, but you would need to pay a nominal fee. This level would be ideal for those of us that only use CL sites and do not wish to use the larger sites that are now becoming more like commercial site.

Please discuss.

Thanks Stuart

It’s a shame you can’t review some humans Brue, it would certainly be entertaining🤣

I have form Rocky. I used to do a lot of recruitment and selection at work, from taking on casual staff, to interviewing for Managers and above. You have no choice but to discuss the answers and merits of candidates, done sensitively of course, and we always gave helpful feedback.

There are two individuals I would love to review at the moment. Along with a few of the select band of people who have the chance to play eeny, meeny, miny, mo on behalf of millions of others……🤣

But hey ho………😎

Part of my job  by was to sit in on interviews with candidates for several departments positions

Now it seems "human resources* look at an applicants CV and accept what is written as gospel?! before putting them forward as suitable or so it seems with some in the positions they hold!🤔😂

C&CC sites can seem a bit quirky but the Salisbury site has easy access to the City and Old Sarum. Far better than the CMC offering out in the middle of nowhere! Sometimes how a site is in terms of layout and facilities is down to the lease and the C&CC seem to have a lot of sites on short leases which I imagine restricts the options for investment. 

As for reviews I always start with a campsite review site like UKCampsites. Trustpilot is just a place a lot of people just let off steam, there are far better review sites if you want detail.

Agree totally about location, but my opinion is based on the site itself, not where it is.

Regarding Trustpilot and letting off steam. 79% of 5500+ people give CAMC 4 or 5* for Great or Excellent. If this was my business, I'd be happy with that.

81% of 220 people give C&CC 1 or 2* for Poor or Bad. If that was my business, I'd be doing something about it.

 

Seems that CAMC members have a lot of positive steam

An agency once sent me the CV of someone I had worked with in a previous job. He had been sacked after 3 months for falsifying records and playing golf when he should have been with clients.

He claimed he had worked there for 3 years, and also claimed winning a number of projects that he had never been near. I knew who had won them all, and had won two of them myself.

Needless to say, he didn't get an interview, and the agency who put him forward was sacked.

While a CV may be taken at face value initially, JV, checks will be made prior to employment and probably even earlier than that in the selection process. 

Often the person at the interview from the works hierarchy concerned won’t be involved in, or even be aware of, the behind the scenes investigating that takes place.

I think back in the day Tinny job interviews were basically paid lip service I was told-family just walked into jobs, who was promoted was by seniority certainly not by suitability. I read that’s why British industry was so woefully inefficient until the late 20th century when these archaic practices were discontinued👍🏻

I think you’re right, Rocky. Thankfully those old ways were on the way out when I entered the workplace and appointments and promotions were then by merit with procedures in place and scrutiny of processes applied. I reckon by the 1980s all the old boy network stuff had gone as the old timers retired.
