The Club AGM will take place at 2pm on Saturday 24 October 2020. 

However, due to the challenges and uncertainties arising from the Covid-19 pandemic and with the health and safety of our members being our priority, the meeting will no longer take place at Chester Racecourse.

The AGM will now be available to view via a Zoom webinar. More information can be found here: www.caravanclub.co.uk/agm/ smile

Just a heads up that the questions asked prior to the Club AGM have been answered and published here

Haven't had a chance to read all the answers yet but it will be interesting see what the replies are.

Thanks David I see your question got quite an interesting positive answer but mine didn't! However I'm pleased with the way the AGM on line allowed so many more questions to be raised and answered.

Thanks David for highlighting the update to the AGM pages. Some interesting answers, particularly about the booking system. Pity COVID is inhibiting/excusing progress in so many areas but I don't see any point in being pessimistic.

Agree with Brue about the questions and hope it will be a template for the future.

peedee.

I agree that it was a good format and something that should be carried over to future years. Even without COVID the numbers willing to travel to a Club AGM will always be limited. 

Quite a bit of repetition in some of the answers but they generally covered what had been asked. Good to see that it looks likely that we will be able to book hardstanding pitches from 2022. Comments on deposits and cancellations interesting although there was a degree of reading between the lines so not altogether sure which side of the line it will land.

Thanks David having just gone through the AGM update shame some questions are repeated and the same answers from the club.

There is no proposal that I appreciate. Purely personal situation

Lots of repeated questions, mainly around personal likes and dislikes, and on the whole with the Club’s response known and not that likely to change. But at least it’s good to catch a glimpse inside the AGM. 

Personally, I think using such as zoom is a way forward, as it will allow more people from different areas of the UK to take part, and feel part of the process. Even centrally located, it would be a heck of a trek for many folks to attend in person, and with all respect, AGMs are seldom riveting stuff warranting a day off work and a long commute.

The questions could have been grouped together which would have avoided the repetition. However, I think the Club did the right thing by making sure everyone got an answer to their individual question even if the answer was repeated from similar questions.

It looks as if we are in for some interesting changes for the 2022 season?

There were some interesting things asked. I forgot about it to be honest, in midst of our boiler fitting saga, so good that folks did ask questions.

I can’t help thinking that HQ can be a tad defensive when tackling some issues though, and more of being put on the spot might get the message through that there are issues that crop up time after time, from quite a few members that need some real debate and thoughts, maybe not just from Committee and HQ. The CL network needs a stronger presence somehow, they are such a big part of the Club for many Members. Likewise, it would be good to see Wardens having a presence as well, feeding back from their point of view. This of course might happen, but maybe Members are unaware.

Hopefully, if I remember I will ask something next year👍

Very much like PMQ's...."I refer the Hon Member to my previous answer"

And obviously many dog lovers on the Exec Committee....Time to start charging for the 2nd dog upwards...could definitely be some dog rage the next time one 'off lead' cocks its leg up on the A frame cover...
