Reviewing CLs

That'll be due to the intelligent British public, TDA. They're in all walks of life.

There seems to be a lot more the Cl owners and the club can do to keep this part of the club going, but apathy seems to reign. Unfortunately the trend of closures will continue until  they are no longer viable. Such a shame if future generations cant avail themselves of these  often excellent informal locations.

Well, this morning I decided to do a half way house in terms of reviews on this website. I tried to copy and paste a review for a CL I did on Caravanchat. It has photos included, so decided just to add a link. Link has come up, but isn't live, so I am obviously doing something wrong. I have asked for help on the "How to...." section.

Many of the CLs we still use predate computers and the WWW. The owners possibly don't even use a computer, yet they run lovely CLs. If you set up a website, then you have to monitor it, or it just becomes another stick for members to beat you with on occasion. We don't have issues because we still prefer to phone and discuss our needs and check up to date prices, if you can't get an answer we move onto next CL on our list.

So how do I leave a review on this site? There is no obvious link or invitation to do so or at least not one that I have found.

You have to go to the CL page in question. If you click on reviews on the banner there is another link to review that CL.

I think we have to accept that one man's meat is another man's poison and this applies equally to writing reviews. Personally I wouldn't expect WiFi on a CL. If it was there it would be a bonus. However so many people seem to be dependent on the internet these days that without it you would down grade your rating of the CL.

 I've visited a CL page and there isn't an invitation to leave a review although there is to read reviews.

Given the difficulty of leaving a review I'm surprised there are any at all.

I had to look hard, must admit! It is there, in tiny red letters at top of first review. As you say, not easy to find at first glance. You have to open up the reviews to leave one.

I generally try and leave a review but not done so recently as we have had zero use of the van for almost a year due to health problems.

That's the problem with some reviews, you sometimes have to take a chance based on the positive reviews, especially if the negative ones are nit picking.

This is where the good reviews need to be based on facts and not just "how friendly the owner is and how they always make me tea and scones", I would rather know if the facilities are kept clean.

My bugbear with reviews is when they are left by a season pitch holder who is staying in an adjoining field.
