Regional Versions of the Magazine

The reply is not very well worded,i took it to be in the Sep magazine,not you regional version

If the club wants to do regional stuff to 'inspire us' then why not print a separate section like the National Trust does?

As for different versions of the magazine showing stuff in your own area; it is madness. I want to be encouraged to tour to other parts of the country and not just stay in my locale.

This would be especially true if your locale does not have any club sites or facilities that you require.

I wonder what survey/focus group this crazy idea came from?

Have not yet had time to read the piece on Balbirnie.  We have stayed there in the past, to visit some friends on our way to Aberdeen, plus we used to stay in Fife, so will need to read it carefully!

Ah yes found the same. I wonder if it will appear here. Did you have a feature on page 81/82 about Chester and Wirral?

Well we should swop copies as I have been to West Kirby, Thurstaston Country Park and Chester in the last month. Admittedly it is two years since I was last at the Lady Lever art gallery and strolled around Port Sunlight and 9 months since I was in the Maritime Museum in Liverpool. 

I'm just relieved that the club prescribed adventures seem so familiar 

Worryingly the club state in the membership section that this is just the start regarding regional additions to the magazine and also adverts. Since the editorial control is often lacking with picture errors etc this seems like a retrograde idea and also condescending  that we might not know our own areas!?

No,we have Balbirnie.

Perhaps they think we all just go away at weekends?  

I hope the regions are pretty big or I'll be getting a distinct sense of deja vue around July
