Just tried to use the Search and Book on CLs. I hope it's me that's done something wrong but...

You pick a county and on the old website we used to get a list of those towns in that county with a CL, even some who no longer had a CL but once did. NOW? Now you get EVERY town in the UK in alphabetical order with those towns in that county highlighted in bold type. Yes, every town. 

This is going to take forever to do a search. Surely I must be missing something!

 I agree with all you guys. There is no 'Search by Map' like the old one.

OK if you have a rough idea of where you want to go,.  but it doesn't give you a map to let you browse and choose.

Over to you management. - can you sort it out for us ?

It's a workaround and not a proper solution but you can select map from the Club Site tab and then set it to show CL's

Just had another go and I now get just the towns in that county, so looks like one problem solved.

Well, what a kerfuffle. Just tried looking for a site in a county and it gave all the towns in the UK AGAIN.

What an absolute PITA this new website is! CC should be ashamed to put this to its members.

WN. Which system are you using? I've just tried it and after selecting a county I got a list of the relevant county's towns only, using Chrome.

I've found that after selecting a specific town if you another town in the same county click on the town list, select all towns and then clicking select again gives you the towns in the originally selected county. Hope this make sense.

I wouldn't rely on it too much. I tested a filtered search for CLs and the results it produced were garbage.

Agree, I have just done a search on CL's in Worcestershire that were adult only, electric hookup, open all year.  The search result came back with electric hookup, but no filter applied for adult only, open all year.  And no way of knowing when trawling through the 30 sites it showed, as to which were adult only.  Technological improvement, I don't think so.  Back to paper.

I've just discovered that if you disable javascript in your browser then all towns will display regardless of what you enter in the county. In addition it won't allow you to read reviews and there are quite a few other oddities as well.

Nellie, I can get them when using Chrome but not when using Macbook system! As I said, a PITA.
