CAMC magazine. Maybe I'm alone in thinking this

I though this month's edition was lack lustre, I tend to compare it with the C&CC mag which seems a bit more interesting and looks more attractive (I'm also glad to have opted for their rally supplement.) But generally I've lost interest in vanning magazines as there's only so much that can be said in them each month. Maybe there's too much out on the web now and it's a struggle to reach readers in new ways?

Surely the club will e-mail members regarding any important policy changes ................ won't  they?  

Have a look at Oriole Birding website

I suspect only if you are signed up for email communications? It seems to me that if people complain about the magazine they might equally complain about getting too many emails from the Club. Is there a way of specifying only important announcements emails and who decides what is important? Seems to me spending five minutes scanning a magazine when it arrives would solve those problems.

I do receive e-mails - some of which I read. I can't imagine any important policy changes that it would concern me not to be aware of prior to arrival at any site.

Is it not possible for a Mod to move this thread/post to Facebook where it will be more at home. 

Is that so most of us won’t see it?😄

I wouldn’t worry about any Club policy changes DK, any kind of change, little or big tends to send Disgusted of Doncaster or Overjoyed of Ottery typing merrily on forum at some point or other. I refer you back to losing a metre off dog tie up leads last year...........😱🤣🤣🤣🐾🐾🐾

Name change, Warden uniform change, Signage change, having to use cash in reception shops, allowing Motorhomes on sites, flying flags, welcoming tent campers, losing the mops, dog washes, bike washes, endless source of (often very amusing) debates and chats. 😁

The magazine divides members and there is no right answer except that the adverts pay for it so they are necessary. I like the content as do many others but whatever you include some will like it and others will not, it is just a matter of different things suit different people.

I accept there is a lack of criticism though in the magazine tests but this applies to the others too. Possibly if there is harsh criticism then they would get no more to test.

I agree with the original post and that the magazine is dull and needs an major overhaul. Accepted, it needs adverts to pay its way but it is the content which is staid, safe and boring. I do look through every month but gain no great satisfaction from it. As a bit of a 'petrol head' I find the car reviews particularly insipid and uninspiring. 

As for the rest of the Club...we have the insurance for the van, use some sites, lots of Cls and the ferry/tunnel booking service and can't complain about any of it.
