Club Magazine

I only take it out of the plastic wrapper to recycle

I do like a read of the club mag but it does take me 11mins so I must be finding something you are missing😂😂.

joking apart I do like the club mag,perhaps I need to broaden my horizons 😉

I don't class myself as an oldie but I find the magazine has dumbed down a lot from when I first joined the club. I used to read it but it goes straight to recycling now. 

If they are focusing on younger members it would probably help if they put a few metric measurements into the reviews instead of converting them all to imperial. 

Oh and perhaps fewer adverts for funeral plans, joint supplements and walk in baths?

However I doubt anyone joins for a magazine. 

Also perhaps some reviews about tow cars most of us could reasonably afford.(£20-30k). Not the £50+ the club obviously likes to test.

I used to read the magazine from cover to cover. Now I skim through but rarely read anything.  Seems very dumbed down to me. Little in the way of real interesting articles, reviews that really tell us nothing, decor nice 😉 and seem to be aimed at the high end prices. Tips and help very basic. I love letters in publications but even these disappoint. 

Bit like EasyT unwrap, but flick through, before recycling.

Whilst I appreciate that we don't directly subscribe to the Club magazine I wonder if this makes  a difference to the content. I subscribe to MMM which is a commercial magazine about motorhoming and I usually find many things of interest in it every month. I wouldn't subscribe directly to the Clubs magazine. Having said that I usually find something of interest in most issues. The trouble with magazine content is that one mans meat is another mans poison so probably unlikely to please everyone all the time. Like a lot of people I find a lot of the content a bit lightweight, especially the reviews. On the other hand I find the features that talk to CL owners and their customers quite interesting.

Before I stopped reading it altogether, quite a few years back, I did open it for the letters but then these seemed fewer and of less interest. It is a long time since I even flicked through it. 

Not been the same though since Enroute disappeared. 

Getting ready for the new breed of tourer explorer?   Dumb down everything below what would interest an eight year old.

Whoever it is that sells the advertising space must be the best in the industry.

My big beef with The Club mag' is the adverts.    The June mag has 140 pages, incl cover pages.      There are 70 advert pages, incl 17 classified ads at the back.     That is exactly 50%.    All making money for The Club!

C'mon club, you need to pull your finger out and focus on making the mag better with more relevant content.       Link this with the regular increases to annual subs.   I am not sure we are getting vfm.

The stats covering the massive increases in caravan and motorhome production speak for themselves, but the stats on more sites to house this increase of camping units are lacking.

How about The Club estates lead writing an article in the mag on the problems of adding new sites and why we have so many areas of the country where there are no sites at all.

The ads pay for the mag production so, no ads, no mag....
