They pointed out that the list was available to download!! Why then is it not available in printed form to be sent out?
that's the bit I find hardest to reconcile. They want us to invest in printer, ink and paper to do this and one would assume they have access to the same at HO or a printer's so surely they too only have to press a button???
Ps tongue in cheek I worked central and local government almost all my working life so have first hand experience of joined up thinking 😂😂😂😂
Nellie you are the classic example of a proper year long tourer, all so well and good if you planned a call at home to collect new site directory and prices. Not knowing how long despatch will take plus postage you cant even request delivery to a site.

I have downloaded it to my laptop but I'll be damned if I'm going to use my printer ink and paper to print the damn thing off, that's what my £52 a year membership should be covering, so like others I will request a copy (via the internet of course), to be sent to me, they can pay for the printing and the stamp

Posted on 27/12/2018 21:44 by nelliethehookerMaybe 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
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.

I've had the same e mail nellie and I was also wondering whether I need to re apply for a printed copy when available.
I was just debating whether to e mail them when I saw your posting. So, should I wait and see if you get any sense out of them and you come back to us on this thread, or do I and probably many dozens of other members who have requested a printed copy bombard them with e mails asking for clarification on the point?

Posted on 27/12/2018 23:24 by EmilysDadif you have something down loaded to a laptop/device, why would you need a printed version too? That'd be like printing off each page of a Kindle so you could read it like a book 😉

MM that is the whole point. I've downloaded the price list, all 40 pages of it in full glorious colour, and I'm not inclined to use my paper and ink to print it off when we should be getting a printed version posted to us. I might consider printing it off if it were in a printer friendly form, but not otherwise. After all, out of our £52 a year membership fee I don't think a printed version included with the handbook or magazine for those who want it is going to break the bank.
By the way, I like your Rawtenstall PS2!

That just shows how daft they are at Grimstead Towers.If one accepted the idea of the pricing being produced separately and only available 'on request', (1) It presupposes a computer, (2) an internet connection,(3) the availability of a printer.
Even if all those criteria are fulfilled, it appears that the design and layout provides a load of extraneous content that has no relevance to the function of the document.
Time for us all to don our yellow vests, methinks.

I've just had a look at the opposition, theirs is just three pages long, clearly marked out in price bands and seasons. CAMC operates a very complicated pricing system that could be streamlined and condensed. The photos might look pretty but they aren't needed at all and they'll use up a lot of printing ink!
