Just received the most recent Club magazine.  On page 3 the front cover is identified as Blackpool Pleasure Beach - which it most definitely isn't!  Scottish castle, I guess - but which one?

 Yes that puzzled me as well. But then I realised that they produce different magazines for different parts of the country and one of the pictures might well have been Blackpool! A bit slap dash!

To those members who know the area, it's clearly Urquhart Castle by Loch Ness. Blackpool has recently opened a "Strictly Come Dancing Experience" attraction - perhaps there's a "Loch Ness Experience" attraction too.

I didn't think the regional angle was used anymore and I don't think the cover photo has ever been different for regions. Maybe they want to make sure we get as far as page three. wink

Inside the magazine in the review of the motorhome the plan shown bears no relation to the van being reviewed. It's clearly a plan of a van conversion and the text reviews a coach built.

I asked the question before who proof reads this thing🤔

Quite clearly, nobody. It is disconcerting to find an increasing frequency of things where attention to detail is lacking across CAMC, CL Lat/Long being a case in point.

Made me laugh, I am a cynic!

Cyberyacht as you have pointed out on a thread about members question time northern region, attention to detail and checking doesn't just apply to the magazine. For those who've not seen the thread -  parking for the event is in a multistorey carpark 😉

I'm puzzled as to why the club should produce different magazines for different areas.

Surely we're all members of the same club so should get the same magazine.

Magazine has never been regional, even back in 'en Route' days. Just sloppy proof reading or no checking at all ?  errr she is off having a baby ? a nervous breakdown, or just on holiday ?
