I usually request a printed copy of the 'Great Savings Guide' because I find that checking on the net a pita

I do as well ET for the same reason. However, if they published it in PDF form, as with the price list, enabling it to be saved and used off line, I would not bother to request one.

That was written with 'good will' towards those who are not internet equipped ET

The hard copy has the distinct advantage for me in that I can easily cut out a voucher!

True, although I wouldn't mind printing a few. It wouldn't require many as the places we have visited generally never want them, just to see the membership card.

The absence of detailed pricing presupposes the availability of a computer and internet access. Even members who are not devotees of the church of the latter day Luddites may not take internet accessible equipment with them when they tour. Availability of an internet connection when touring is, as we all know, a matter of some uncertainty. All these factors demonstrate that a hard copy price list is essential. That CAMC has gone down this route is blatant obscurantism.

As a follow on to my previous post, I joined "the other lot" earlier this year on the discounted paperless subscription. To be honest I find it a bit tedious in the absence of being able to browse a Handbook of sites.

Oh dear, goodwill to all men didn't last long, did it.

So true. Those who are being dismissive and derisive of the folk who choose not to use computers aren’t showing much goodwill at all.

The handbook and map are sent out to everyone. A detailed price list is available on request, as I assume will be any future updates. Putting detailed pricing in a two year handbook was never particularly sensible. Even less so if we continue to get these top up price rises.

How does this disadvantage anyone who chooses not to take any IT on their tour. Presumably they take the site directory, along with the latest price list, supplied by the club on request.

To my mind it begs the question is it worth a  modern business even bothering to provide paper copies of anything to a minority who could but stubbornly refuse to embrace the modern world.

I think it is the minority of people who think that the world should revolve around their ideas that need looking into rather than the majority who accept that"technology" has more problems than the minority  would like to admit,hence the need to as most companies have found keep paper recordswink
