Sites Directory and pitch charges

Of course, hence the winky emoji. However, with the C&CC there is at least price advantage. The CAMC doesn’t offer a discount, they just sent out emails asking you to forgo receiving it and use their super App instead,😂 unfortunately unlike the old one it doesn’t work offline.🤔

Yes it is but membership cost depends on what you opt for. More expensive if you do not opt for digital.

Surely most folk decide on an area to visit rather than consider the whole country. The Club doesn’t have that many sites that it takes very long comparing those in your area of choice. However, perhaps a half way house, a supplement that is available as a pdf. Time involved but no printing / distribution cost and easily downloaded onto a pad, phone or e-reader.

Yeah, like Mars and Cadbury, Apple and Google, Ryanair and Easyjet, PepsiCo and Coca- Cola. Just two big companies providing a similar product. They're in competition, they are competitors, they are opposing one another. You may try your best not to see C&CC as  a competitor, but they undoubtedly are.

It might have been better if you'd addressed Brue's point. 

I have used desk top computers since 1984 and been on the internet since 1995. I use the computer most of the time to make bookings, look at sites and much more, but a hard copy reference is still useful and I'd challenge the notion that finding a price for a site takes only 30 seconds - especially on a phone or tablet. If the device is not permanently on, it takes that long to get it fired up.  

Your original comment was patronising - especially "the mind boggles" part. Aside from anything else, you need to remember that not everyone does computers. 

Oh and by the way, I think War and Peace is about 1,400 pages. My copy of the handbook is a great deal less than that.

I have just put your theory to the test using the stopwatch on my phone but actually searching on my PC. I cheated a little as used Abbey Wood which is the first campsite on the search facility. I put in the number of people and the type of pitch. 32.05 seconds? It would have obviously taken a little longer had I used a different  site but it would have been well under a minute. It would have taken as long, if not longer to do it on the C&CC site from my own experience. 

I think JK was just expressing a personal view, as we all tend to do on forums. No need to admonish him in my view?

I've posted on this thread in response to the OP because I too wondered why CAMC dropped the extra information that C&CC still provides in a clear format (without resort to voluminous pages of information.) On another thread I queried why there were no site phone numbers on the site directory pages, an odd omission,  even though apparently they are grouped together elsewhere. This all points to a general lack of attention to detail and clarity. 

Over the last few years brue there have been thousands of requests to have all the site phone numbers readily available in one place for ease of use. That started in the last SDHB.

Thanks for the reply JK but it seems an illogical move, why not belt and braces with a phone number on each site page and a list....anyway I'm probably amongst the other thousands that didn't ask for changes....

Actually I have recently come across some quite surprising people who dont use the internet.  For example a professional person who used the internet & computers at work and now retired has no computer or internet, doesnt use her phone to connect to the internet, doesnt do email.
