I noticed a discussion on the above forum saying that the C&CC are going to close their forum from the end of this month. Some members have had an email with this information, although I have not received that email. They don't really give an explanation as to why but they are encouraging members to use other forms of Social Media. Only problem is that those members that don't use other "Social Media" are shut out from communications with fellow members.

They have also confirmed the closure of their Oxford and Isle of Wight sites. The reasons are:- "Oxford faced road infrastructure challenges and external development disruptions, while Adgestone's popularity has declined over the years, needing significant upgrades to return it to the standard that members rightly expect." Shame about Oxford, especially as we no longer have Bladon Chains. Another UK city without a campsite in reach by easy public transport.

I don’t know what their rationale was for using real names, David, but they seemed completely intransigent and unwilling to consider an alternative.

TW...I think you will find the answer was very much similar to this clubs offering off the new booking system..in that it was software 'off the shelf". Here at the CaMC we suddenly became 'Passengers"...

I’m surprised to learn C&CC's was 'off the shelf' as those are usually well designed professional packages as opposed to having the appearance of being home made. I guess there’s a difference between professional 'off the shelf' and buying somebody's second hand cast off.

Is the CAMC going to follow suit?

With the amount of negative postings on CT from both current and past members, I think that apart from the social pages, the days of CT being a friendly helpful forum are long gone. So I would think it's time for a review of the value of CT.

Really? I think CT still has great value in the way helpful advice is offered on technical matters and issues such as booking and using sites. As a former member I no longer feel able to help with some issues but neither do I believe I post negatively. I endeavour to be objective.

Do you mean "negative postings" like the one to which I am referring?

Posted on 04/02/2024 18:18

Please expand on what you thought was negative about my post for you to react in the way you have. I shared my opinion, you can either agree with them or not.

I was positive about the social pages which a lot of people use.
