A survey of CC members was supposedly carried out during early September of last year by a CL owner, and the results were to be posted on here, CT. Nothing appears to have happened! Was this purely a marketing exercise with the results not matching the thoughts/ideals of the instigator, or is there another explanation

Posted on 07/03/2019 08:19 by CholseyGrangeA survey was indeed carried out last September on behalf of the CL Owners self-support group. Over 900 CL visitors responded.
I agreed to share these results both with the Club and with the participants in due course.
As you may know, I was a 'Nominated Member' of Club Council with the specific remit to represent both CL Visitors and CL Owners. However, late last year I was deselected.
In place of my representation of CLs via Club Council, the club offered in September 2018 to set up an Advisory Group of CL owners.
I welcome this initiative as I believe the Club need all the advice it can get to arrest the decline in the number of CL sites and learn from CL owners the issues they face.
I felt that the proposed Advisory Group would be a good place to review the survey results, hence the delay.
Rather than having a face-to-face Advisory group meeting (as I hoped), the club is now suggesting an on-line forum. The forum has not yet been opened, although I am told it is testing phase.
Meantime, you are welcome to interpret the survey results as you wish. And I'm sure you will :)

It would have been interesting to have seen an analysis of the age of those completing the survey, it looked to be heavily biased towards the retired.
Unless Ted has other irons in the fire in the industry, seems very odd that he should be deselected when CLs are such a large part of the Club. I thought owners already had a forum, at least aimed at helping each other?

I imagine that it is biased towards the retired because that group constitutes the bulk of the membership, or am I biased by being one of them?
It does seem to me to be wrong that trade groups do not have a representative on the council.

Posted on 08/03/2019 09:38 by ThornsettMy interpretation is that the CMC does not see CLs playing a role in the success of the Club.

I ticked the box saying I had stayed on 5 or more CLs and am amused to see that the survey results now counts me as a frequent user. 
Well I'm not.
As soon as I discovered what properly equipped independent sites could offer that's where I went. But the survey sheds no light on why I stopped using CLs, why other people are doing the same, and why CL use is declining.
