Regional Versions of the Magazine

Should have been read not need in last post.

Pages 80 -81 in my mag are on Sandringham which is strange as I live in West London not East Anglia. Mind you it is of more interest to me then say one on Windsor Castle which is a short hop from home.  In fact it would take longer to get the caravan out from the back garden and hitched up lock the gates and the house then it would be to drive there

I want articles about other parts of the Uk.  As the saying goes if it aint broke dont fix it.

I think it would be fair to say David that you prefer non UK holidays and those of us who choose to stay here have a vested interest in the club's promotion of UK sites.

I think AD is correct in that we don't always know what is in our "back yard"

I suspect David that unless you spend all your time abroad you have a reasonable idea what is to be seen within 30 miles of home. Certainly from what I see of the offerings given by the club there are very many more less well known things of interest and the items picked up by the club regarding Wirral do not scratch the surface as they are probably the first things on a google search. I doubt that there are any of my friends in Flint, Rhyl, Chester, Wirral, Ellesmere Port, Queensferry that are not aware of them. (Having checked they are in fact amongst the first hits). 

Interesting comment but in my case I've not learned about my local area by staying on the site in question. 

The local pages would be better written by someone local. You might get some hidden gems that way. 

 

I wonder how they decide what regional variation you fall in. Ours featured Wirral Country Park which is 117 miles away, with the Pennine chain in the way. Sandringham on the other hand is only 85 miles away and a fairly quick run. I don't really mind what we get to be honest, I always find them a bit bland and lacking in any real information.

I am not too bothered what areas are featured, but I do think we should all be given the same featured areas.

So, every so often we up here will see an area we are already familiar with, rather than seeing it every month and feeling that we may well be missing out on something of interest that we know nothing about.

I also agree that the features are not that "in depth" and generally only give info on the most obvious attractions/places of interest.

It may only be a couple of pages now, but what about the future.  As brue noted, it  was said that the differences would be "subtle at first".
