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?

With so many apparent inaccuracies in the magazine over several months, some blatantly obvious and others less so, what 'facts' can we actually believe and rely on?  One could make an expensive mistake if the magazine was taken as gospel.

The whole publication is becoming a work of fiction. Thankfully the contents have become so not worth reading that perhaps less of us will actually rely on the 'facts'. I suppose it makes a good game on a wet day, 'Find the Errors and Inaccuracies'. Come back Enid Blyton.

I do wonder about this. Ours has SW on the cover but how much difference is there in the actual content (I rarely get very far into the contents! wink)

Magazine has never been regional, even back in 'en Route' days.

There is certainly a regional element. There are 5 variations (areas) with different events diarys (page 67 / 68) and spotlight on site (pages 71 / 72) ours in NWM is Wirral Country Park.

All 5 variations are available on the App.

There may be other regional differences, these are just the ones I have noticed.

incidentally ours is a very wide area North Wales and the Midlands

Seems a bit self defeating really if they are promoting sites in the area where you live anyway. I'd rather read about sites in other areas of the country if I have to read it at all!  frown

Although in our case the featured site is 116 miles away and almost 3 hours traveling according to google. If you download the App M you can read them all.😂

Our Magazine has "N" next to the date on the top left.

Maybe they mean we should only tour in the North

Mine has SNI (which I'll assume is Scotland & Northern Ireland) next to the date.

Regional mags seem to exist & like Moulesy I rather read about areas in which I don't live rather than those I do.

The wrongly captioned photograph reminded me of another mistaken caption a few years back. An article by Lee …. (his surname escapes me !!) had a photo of Chesil Beach from the top of the hill at Portland captioned as West Bay (about 15-20 miles further west. I wrote to the Editor (being a Dorset boy - by birth) to point out the error. I didn't receive even an acknowledgement.

I didn't bother to point out a repeat of this error in a more recent article by the same author.
