I have tried a couple of times to book online for a site when it became available but the web site is so slow by the time I have gone through the process it is unavailable so booked private site else where. It is like wading thru treacle using this site to book. Other web site are fine

Hi All, In the last few weeks I have found it very slow and it is not my computer. It is even worse than the MX5 Owners Club website which I do not use much as it is so annoying.

It is very interesting that when a company wants to sell you something online and this is their means of revenue they have very good speed, e.g If Amazon website was slow you would just go elsewhere.

With the Caravan Club, MX5 Owners Club etc, you have paid the subscription, so this is not a priority.

If the Caravan club did not have a subscription and revenue was only made out of Sales and service the speed and service would be good or they would go under!

It is interesting that I asked for the website to be able to select Fully serviced sites only. This feature is still available!

Cheers Derek

It is slow, but still just about alive. This morning it took ages to get on. Every time I tried it just timed out and came up with server not found.

Altogether now.....

"Ha ha, ha, ha.....stayin' alive, stayin' alive!"

or, if you are Scottish......

"And I would walk 500 miles......!"

Those of a certain age will remember this one as well.....

"Nellie the elephant packed her trunk, and said goodbye to the circus..."

Why are the CMC not interested in improving their website ?. 

Could it be :-

1  -  The original specification both hardware and software was badly chosen and they are stuck with it ad infinitum. 

2 - They have no IT staff who are sufficiently qualified to remedy the site.

3 - They want the "Club Together add on" to wind down and die,  so that they can use that resource to load balance the main website.---- It would appear that they are already ramping up their Facebook replacement.
