Just noticed in 'CL Sites Updates' CC Magazine Sept issue, that New CL,s number 17 Happy and Closurers number 4, an increase of 13.Surprised.  Long may this trend continue as there is a lot of ground to be made up on closures over the past years.

Good news if there are more coming on stream. Interestingly, the "new certificates Sites" section of the website is showing no new CLs after 1/8/16. I am guessing that no one at HQ has inputted the information, seems a bit strange. I know the magazine info will lag behind reality, due to publishing and printing, but seems strange that no new CLs have opened since early August? 

It is probably justa data-glitch, but doesn't help new CL Owners such as Manoravon - when I sent to visit them last week, they had received no bookings to-date.  They are listed as a new CL in the magazine.

Could that not just be because they do not have EHU, or any hard standing? Most regular CL users want both, especially at this time of the year.

Personally I don't think it is good enough, Club should be more proactive getting new CLs onto website. There are possibly only around half dozen a month, so not a huge task surely? Does depend on CLs providing information of course, but three months behind is not good from either party, and won't help new starters. Given how mild it is at moment, and dry, at least here, we might be tempted by odd night without hook up, but would need to know ground is solid. Wouldn't want to damage anyone's grass!

TDA I contacted the club ref: no new CLs on website last Thursday and was told due to new CT website which is imminent they are not publishing new CLs.

Not very good for the new CL owners, is it? Many people don't read the magazine and only find out about new CLs by way of the web site. Just goes to show how little regard those at EG have for the CL network. IMO.

BTW how long have they been saying that the arrival of the new web site is imminent. Think that they're waiting till MM get his gold star before the change over.

Perhaps!!! the meaning of the word 'imminent' has changed to mean something quite different, as have some other words in the English language, during the last few years Undecided !!!

I wonder if their attitude has anything to do with the size of the contribution CLs make to the '£ Bottom Line’

Surely they must realise by now that many members would not renew membership if it wasn't for the CL network.
