New Sites Directory and Handbook

Agree, the directory is out of date the day it drops through the letter box and it gets steadily more out of date with each passing month. It is far too time consuming to keep up todate when the latest information is available on the web.

Can't agree with you Peede, you would have needed to have opened a dozen tabs to do what I was doing. I just flicked through the pages to establish what the arrival times were at about a dozen sites which would have taken ages to do looking at each one online. OK perhaps not the use that either were designed for but I think we have to be a bit careful in suggesting that everything in every circumstance can be done better or easier online.

Depends what information one is wanting PD. For me it serves my wants at planning stage and on arrival.

Some say the website is up to date? then others would not agree especially with CLs

The Directory and Handbook is probably out of date about two months before any member gets to see it due to the process for printing and distribution.

It is still a lot easier to use than peering at a tiny screen. Perhaps when fold-out screens are produced, with a system to put tabs on different screens as one flicks through a number of views, it will get close to the ease of using a book.  Must go - battery about to die (again).

Club sites don't come and go quite so much as CLs but as has already been pointed out if notes have been attached for what ever reason, these wil be missed. For those using CLs it must be fraught with difficulty

On my pad it is easy enough to have multiple tabs along the top of the browser window and flick between them. A phone I would agree is more of a challenge and I wouldn’t use by choice. If away I would link the pad to the phones 4G and use that.

This year in particular the book is likely to be next to useless in respect of dates. Things are changing all the time. It’s possible the sites in the NW of Scotland that remained closed last year, may do again.☹️ A shame as we have several rebooked from last year.
