Interesting article in the January 2018 issue of MMM. It’s an interview with Harvey Alexander, Director of Marketing at the CMC. He explains some of the changes introduced and planned by the CMC to reflect the increasing number of motorhoming members.

According to the article, the CMC is looking at its CLs, a number of which are trialling matting that can help driving of grass. This will help those motorhomers who do not want to go to a CL because of the risk of getting stuck. The Club knows the current booking system is not ideal. It is working on it for 2018/19, introducing the new system for 2019 bookings. It’s not going to be rocket science but it will be in line with the market.

There is more in the two page article which is worth a read but not enough to justify buying the magazine just for the article.

i used to buy it off the shelf but a couple of yeas ago, the promotion at the time was a large holdall of AutoGlym product, wnich i still use.

whilst it can be a bit repetitive (the section headings are the same each month) there seems to be a bit more oomph in the reviews.

the technical stuff is pretty good, installing kit, fault finding, making the most of your van's capabilities etc..

as mentioned, the OAL forum has one or two 'acknowledged' gurus and probably the most clued up 'real life' expert on Fiat Ducatos, as he runs a fleet himself.

That sounds a good deal BB, we like Autoglym stuff. We tend to only stay with a subscription for a couple of years at the very most, as, like you say, some of the articles can get a bit repetitive. But enjoying it at the moment.

It is a terrible indictment on the Club’s communications policy when you have to read a magazine other than the Club’s to find out the Club’s thinking and intentions. No wonder many just bin the Club's magazine and don't bother using FB and this forum.
