Hi all, I posted this (wrongly) elsewhere in the forum so apologise for repeating myself but this is probably the right place!
National rally numbers appear to be falling. I used to go to it every year without fail but have stopped for the last few years. reason? Well, I, personally believe that there are many factors at work with falling numbers.
The first is definitely the price - just too damned expensive @ £25 per night with no facilities. Secondly, the falling number of traders attending. I used to love looking around all the different traders and buying meat from the butcher, bread from the baker etc. Now the club just take on one faceless large shop (Londis etc.) to supply the lot - so much for local produce! I think other traders have stopped coming because the club are being greedy and charging too much to them.
The daytime entertainment seems to be stuck in the 60's - marching bands and brass bands do not interest me, sorry!
So, come on CC, wake up and smell the coffee! You need to come up to date, reduce your prices, get traders in and move into the 21st century!
Before any of you 'have a go' about it being run by volunteers etc.- I do know and do fully appreciate that. In fact I know one of the major organisers personally and know that he is the most dedicated and hardworking person with regards to the CC. My point is for the Club to look to the future and make the national something that all members want to go to. This does not involve providing more EHU's at exhorbitant prices, it simply invloves thinking like a youger person!
