CL contact methods

Text is a great idea (unless the cl doesn't do them!). I find it quite annoying to get answer phones  and then no replies - so email would suit too.

Aren't all notes plastic these days?

Supertractorman, I know that you would respond to my e-mail so I wouldn't need to send you a text. Hope you are having a good season.

Just had a thought. A text response could well be saved as proof of booking, which might just come in handy should the site owner deny having your booking.

 Have you ever thought of joining the rest of us in the 21st century? 

Couldn't tell you the last time I used my landline to make a call ..... I only receive cold calls & calls from my Mum on it. 

We too get very frustrated when people don't return our messages either by email or 'phone as a lot of planning goes into making trips.. Also annoying when cl's are still advertised in the book and on line when they have stopped doing it, maybe a link somewhere on here for cl's that have stopped doing it, or is that to advanced.

Don't you ever check the list of CL changes that's published each month in the club's magazine. We always cross out the closed sites, (too many), add the new ones ( infrequently these days) and make any alternations listed. This way our Site Directory is quite up to date, and our main source for finding CLs.

Nellie, one of the reasons why we prefer email. Print the reply out and it's hard to dispute facts. However, not all CLs use email so phone has to suffice. Must admit that we've never been turned away from a "phoned" booking (fingers crossed).

Mind you these days confirmation is mainly to remind me when I'm supposed to be there.

Nellie,   Always try to keep checking emails and answering machine after being out doing jobs. Yes we are having a good year with so many folks now making annual visits to us from far away places which is great.  Hope your travels are going well.
