Is anyone out there?

Having joined the CC we opted to also join our (possibly) local centre South Essex. We followed all the instructions and even sent an email to the new member representative. Silence, nothing, zip. Having no rsponse we tried to join North Essex, guess what, nothing again. We are now convinced that these centres are figments of someones over active imagination as they certainly do not respond to us. If anyone can throw some light onthe subject we would be delighted. Our experience so far of CC is not good. Which is a shame, because we first started caravvaning some 30 years ago and were members then, stopping when the children got older, but starting again now we have more time.
