Club e-mails, Requests for Reviews and Reminders

Before we go away and whilst we are on our travels I receive reminders that I have a site booked. To me that is an irritation as I know that and so rarely read them. It would be better if for each site they included suggestions of places or areas to visit etc. along with news of any site development work. That would mean that they were less of an irritation and might well be welcomed.

Then there is the request e-mail asking that I do a review of the CC site. I have done a review of the odd CL that I used but would never be likely to review a CC site. I go to a CC site with a good idea of what to expect. That is what I get. What is to say?

The subsequent reminder request for a review seems totally pointless. If I did not review on the first request it is pointless asking again.

The emails are irritating and I now delete without reading them. I know when I'm going away and where I'm going and I'm not likely to forget.

The emails after the visit also get Deleted User.

I had reason to cancel a site booking recently and, lo and behold, a couple of days later I got the email reminding me the site had been booked. Err, no, it's cancelled!

I always thought the have a nice holiday e-mail was a not so subtle way of making sure you honoured the bookingwink

Just a way of life these days. The Doctors do it, a text. The Garage car in for service, a text. The Dentist, usually a text and a phone call. Plus others I can't remember at the moment. Young folk these days presumably can't remember without a reminder. What's wrong with sticking it on the calendar. Although as you need to remember to look at that, these days I put it on the iPad. Then as they are linked it trumpets from 2 iPhones and the OH's pad as well. No hope of forgetting anything.☹️

Difference is Steve I might forget a hospital or dentist appointment made months ahead for a short visit. I might forget a site booking .............. Very unlikely. However make the reminder worthwhile with what I can do from the site.

Last weekend we made a last minute booking at Englethwaite Hall, so didn't get a reminder.

But - the confirmation email had an extra section "important information".  In this instance about possible noise from a party at a nearby farm, and more importantly details of a road closure on the approach road, and notes about a diversion.

I would hope that stuff like that would be on the reminder emails. Maybe we should read them to pick up on extra information that was unknown at the time of booking.

I get so many junk emails that 3 or 4 extra from CAMC isn't a great hardship.

I don't need them to tell me what's in the area though.......I book sites after having researched all that.

But surely you get hardly any "enjoy your holiday" reminders from the CAMC, Ian?!! wink

Just one 'before' and one 'after' email so far this year, M.

I expect that your in box must be filled to the brim with them though! smile
