Is it me or has the quality of the reviews, news and letters dropped? I wont mention the new signage. Bring back the pennant! 1.6 Million and rising.

Nick Lomas sets the standard with a blatant advert for Airstream in the DG's view. Nothing else available Nick, like Lunar going into administration?

This month (August) we have a review of a mini horse box pretending to be a caravan, at £24,000 pounds! You can get a top of the range Lunar for that, well you could if they find a buyer.  Love the idea of a loo under the sink. Can't wait to see how much the Beau'Er will cost.

Then a car that will possibly suit the Dashaway, no mention of what it actually pulled. For the same money a Ssangyong Korando 175 bhp beats it hands down. And will pull something worth while.

The cost of staying at most of the club sites is getting way beyond what my wife and I can afford as pensioners. A travel Lodge near Clumber Park is only £7.00 more expensive for a midweek stay. OK, I know its peak season and the market has changed, but £35.00?

Now the guide book. Who in their right mind decided to show the costs for one adult and pitch. What a waste of time because you then have to check the web site which is painfully slow.

Okay, rant over but please take some more time with the magazine, its the one contact point we have with the club and it needs improving.

I would agree that the Club do have a fixation with Airstream Caravans. It's almost as they see the Airstream as the only way of projecting a modern image of caravanning despite the fact that Airstream Caravans are older than me and distinctly retro!

I find the only items of interest in the club magazine are the letters page, the tail lights feature and the crossword!!

I can't really comment too much about the magazine as I have not opened it to read in the last 10 years other than, probably twice, to read an article commented on in a forum post.
