Membership Cards and Sites Directories

Apart fr om what has already been rumoured,  an email to this club may get a more up to date reply

When the card went electronic we were told that a hard copy would be available.

I think they would like us to go entirely digital, but that is pretty much impossible I think.

I believe the same is the case for the sites directory.

There was a question at the AGM about having two levels of membership, much as I believe the CCC does, one with everything digital, and the reply was about already giving members options eg not to receive hard copy mag, and also about the paper and wrapper of the mag. Their sustainability was to be achieved in a different way.

Also there was a question about a 60+ reduced sub to which the response was about all members being equal and all benefits available to all.  That would mitigate against going entirely digital. Although of course the offers about reduced entries etc. (cant remember what it is called) is entirely digital.

Thank you both for your replies. I think the answer is that both card and directory are destined for the bin, otherwise it would have been made clear.

My understanding is that members will be able to opt out of receiving the printed site directory so I suppose it depends on how many member do that as that would surely influence the future direction. But whichever way it goes I imagine the cessation of producing a printed version of the Site Directory is some years ahead?

As to membership cards are they really necessary? Given that most will be paying prior to arriving on site and the Club have our vehicle registration number do they really need to be checked? Having said that I prefer the card rather than the on phone version.

It was stated at todays AGM that members can opt out of the sites directory and membership cards in the same way that you can opt out of the magazine, as this will make savings for the club. However, all will still be available for members who want to have them

I would be quite happy with a digital membership as we have with the C&CC. However, I want a discount, otherwise I will continue with the hard copies. I’m sure they would love everyone to voluntarily give them up and continue paying the same.

As to the over 60’s discount, I can understand the argument that a discount should be available to all. Just like the mid week one, which has been discontinued.🤔

I’ve currently opted for that on the bookings I’ve made. However, I will see how it goes. If I still end up sat in a queue behind those who are paying on arrival, I may as well opt for that. There needs to be some sort of fast check in lane, getting you straight onto site, otherwise there is little point.

i echo Steve's view and I was surprised at the Club's response not to pass on the savings to members if they went digital. In my view there needs to be a carrot. I have not used a site directory of either Club for some years now but I do carry the C&MC one in the door side pocket of the motorhome in case it is needed, usually for the last mile directions if I have not already plotted them on the sat nav.

I have the membership card on my Google wallet on my phone where it is much easier to retrieve than from the App. No need to be connected to the internet or logged on. I think the card will go the same place as the directory, in the C&MC binder in the door of the motorhome just in case of need.

How did you get your membership card into your wallet?
