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

I recall the survey, and recall completing it a number of times. For me some of the questions asked didn’t work. For example, I am both a Caravan user, and MH user. And I know there are others like us.

Even from the tiny sample, it would appear Club Apps are less useful than other methods in terms of bookings.

I suspect that is probably because most advance book from home and therefore use a desktop PC. I much prefer to use the App on the phone or tablet and it has the advantage you can save your favourites or a CL you have seen and might like to try in the future. I wonder how many know that?

I didn’t peedee. We rarely book from home, I am usually glancing through handbook (or website if we have WiFi) night before off, sometimes while OH is driving! We like spontaneity. It caught us out badly last Autumn, CL we were heading to was fully booked (November, lucky them!) so I suggested a close by Club Site. We were stung badly....😄 but survived. That one night raised our nightly average by £1.50!

Its only a small sample, guess lots more out there use the Apps.

Or a reluctance to use to use modern technology on the gowink

Probably those of us using tablets have encountered poor aps and choose to use websites directly?

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.

Also the retired have the time to have many more weeks away than the workers.
