Hi all,

Firstly not sure if this has been mentioned before, 

As a member for 15+yrs we are now wondering if the price paid yearly could be reduced for members if they decided not to receive the monthly magazine and just view online.

We believe that this option is offered by a competitor of the club, not only would we save but the club would too by not having to print out so many copies.

Thoughts on this please.

Thanks.

You are correct, the camping and caravanning club do offer a reduced price digital membership. We have one. It has been discussed on several occasions on this forum. However, to date this club seems to show little interest in the concept, preferring to get members to forgo the magazine and physical cards under the environmental banner, whist still paying the full price. Just before the last handbook was published they even sent an email suggesting you could opt not to receive it and use their App in its place, a task it is clearly not suitable for as it can’t be used offline as is the case with the C&CC version. Incidentally although theirs is a digital membership, only online magazine and no handbook, they do send a physical membership card without request. 
As far as the cost of the magazine is concerned, it has been suggested that the advertising revenue covers the production / distribution costs. I have no idea if this has any basis in fact.

As an aside the cost of the magazine to non members,as I recall, is just over £4. What I want to know is why cannot I download the April Mag like all the previous editions? I wanted to print off an item but you cannot do so unless you first download the mag.

Until the Club put working systems in place, paper will still be a requirement.

P.S. The post has not yet delivered the April edition

It is downloadable on the ipad App version. Perhaps just an oversight on whatever system you are using.

Thanks Steve, but I find it very strange that the download symbol is missing on the April edition but not on any of the earlier editions. I am using Firefox which has in the past given problems on the magazine pages. I will check and see what I get with Edge.

Can anyone else confirm the Clubs web site is not working on the Android OS?

The above two messages arrive out of sequence but I assume you have guessed that. I got a site error when posting the one about Edge also not working. Gawd Knows what devious route the second message took..

I was able to download the magazine onto my computer through google and on my Android phone with no problems at all.

This is actually the first time I've done so on my phone!

Using my Android tablet I cannot get the magazine page to load properly from the web site using Firefox. It maybe I do not have enough memory available? Its fine on the magazine App.
