Posted on 27/12/2018 19:50 by nelliethehookerI contacted them requesting a copy and this is the response I received...
"Thank you for your email. The 2019 UK Site Guide is not available to order until the new year".
So they are not sending them out, as of yet anyway!!

I beg to ask a couple of b****ing obvious questions.
1 why make a statement in the book to call for printed list without offering a date available from?
Cynic says, not yet sorted properly too late to include for printing deadline in/with the directory, reason not included this year. Further delayed by messing with it all 😉. I accept the prices will be out of date once in the directory life, but a list with the directory would probably not be as expensive as separately if every member wants one. Are they looking to more than one increase in the directory?? I've not looked at ours yet, too many other tasks before hoping to have some clear space in next fee days. Not looking to book anything before the after Easter but we might manage a quick spur of the moment trip if we get a chance.
2 does the reply you received mean you've been added to the list to receive a copy or you've to apply again? If that was full text it certainly lacks clarity on status as my number one criticism.
As I commented our our postman when I opened the door to assist him with the amount he needed to get through our letter box that day "why on earth do they choose the busiest time of the year to send it out?" He shrugged and said beats me!
Surely now things have changed from the 'original' frenzy day, the club created a false one as they feared they'd miss it too much on almost on the same day 😂😂 timing could be tweaked to just after Christmas when the pressure is less on the postal staff. In fact come to think of it when the frenzy day existed you still booked blind price wise?? If not the directory is really late this year.
Maybe the club thinks that folks don't care what the cost is? They think we members will just pay up regardless.....................
I like a printed list of prices preferably in the same page as site details. Even with a tablet it's not the same as sitting with a cuppa and flicking between pages. I am NOT averse to tech so please don't tar me with that brush. Tech is great when you have all the stars in alignment, but the written word only requires light for access 😉

I would think that the pricing supplement should be sent out, either with the handbook or with the magazine, unless those who are internet savvy have opted out.
Those of us who are trying to save money on our phone/broadband, which is sensible if we are away from home often, may not have a full package that includes calls, and calls can then be very expensive, as are stamps these days.
We use our mobiles to make calls as that costs much less.
Plus, we cannot be the only members who do not have a phone contract. We are on PAYG, which suits us, so we have no internet on our mobiles. When we are away we use mobile broadband, which as someone commented, does not always work everywhere, and has to be paid for.
Default position should be that all members are sent the pricing supplement.

My thoughts too, B2. In answer to your other posts
1 They pointed out that the list was available to download!! Why then is it not available in printed form to be sent out?
2 I did ask if I had to re-apply and am waiting for them to get back to me.
