Calling all Facebook Users who love CL's

Sorry do not do "face ache"

Rochelle announced the FB launch a while back.

I don't do FB either but I'm wondering what your interest is Cholsey. Is it to raise the profile of CLs?

Are you a representative of CL owners Cholsey or CL users? Wonder how you were appointed as an advisor with only five years in the club. 

Have asked this a number of times now but of course you don't have to answer if you don't want to. 

No comment...tried to edit but gave up after too much time and too many efforts!!!!!!!!!

Tinwheeler - Precisely that.  While I'm a CL owner, I also wear the hat of a Club 'Nominated Member'.  I'd be pleased to meet you at the AGM later this month if you are able to attend.

The premise of my nomination to the Club Council was that I'd try and represent both CL Visitors and CL Owners to the Club and the Executive.  

I'm therefore keen to ensure that the Club continues to accord CL's in general, the attention they deserve.  

Facebook is just one way that the Club seeks to engage existing - and new - members. I believe that CL's are an important part of the Club's offer.   Research has shown that 22% of members join because of the CL network.  I'm hoping that this is reflected in the degree of marketing given to CL's in comparison with Club sites..

Thanks, CG. You won't see me on FB, though.

Fysherman, I thank you for your support !!  Having run a CL for 7 years, met hundreds of CL visitors, and been awarded a number of good reviews for how we run the CL, I hope I have some experience to offer the Club.  Maybe you'll come and stay with us one day and share your opinions with me over a coffee or a beer?

Regarding the Nominated Member process: Every year the Club asks members (article in the Magazine) if they would like to support the work of the Club by becomming Nominated Members.  It's open to all.  You simply follow the procedure outlined in the Club's 'How the Club is Run' document.  Apply, submit a CV, get interviewed and iff selected get nominated. 

If you have strong opininons - and from your many contrinbutions on CT I believe you do - why don't you apply? 

Alternatively, if you don't want to volunteer, but still want to make your voice heard, or meet the Club Executive or Management I'd suggest you come to the AGM (22 Oct.) and put your opinions across in the Q&A session.  It's open to all members.

Many thanks CG. 

I am certainly considering taking a more active role in the club. 

Love CL's,---- I use them in preference to "all singing all dancing" Club Sites.  -------- No time for Twitter or Facebook.  The Caravan club IMO, has dumbed down by using Facebook.

Just worried that the average price asked now is causing sites to close as members look elsewhere for cheaper alternatives. 

Not long ago an average CL was one of the cheapest forms of camping around but I am not sure that's the case now. 

The more expensive full facility CL sites must be balanced by low cost basic CL'S and thatdoesn't seem to be happening..

If nothing changes and the expensive sites become the norm then I think CLs will continue to close faster than new expensive ones open and I wonder if that will result in theCC losing a lot of members to the other club that does offer cheap (but very good) campsites
