Many years ago I purchased a Caravan Club green 'leather' cover with pen holder to house the Sites Directory handbook and pockets for the map, notes etc. It was very useful but over the years it is showing signs of being worse for wear and the 'leather' is disintegrating badly.

Looking in the Club Shop online I cannot find this item anymore. Has it been discontinued?

I have one and it's still a useful item to keep the directory, map and membership card all tidy together and kept in the caravan when touring.  Had a CC pen too but that seems to have dropped out of the holder only to be lost for ever.

It is a shame they might think that, while they are producing the directory in paper form, there should also be a need for a cover I would have thought. Would it not have been a good idea to ask the membership before stopping products?? Then again they never asked about the cost to rebrand, to make the clubs logo to look like a Walls ice cream sign and replace the staff's attire. No wonder they charge the earth for pitch fees on club sites today.

Should we be asked what brand of toilet paper should be used in the facility block?

I’ve just explained elsewhere how the club's governance works and how decisions such as those you cite are made on our behalf by appointed council members.

Anyway, I hear there won’t be a sites directory in a year or two. No, they had no need to ask us about that either.

As TW suggests a cover for the Site Directory could become academic over the next few years as it seems that in future it will only be available by request and no doubt as soon as the requests diminish the directory will disappear as a printed book.

About time the directory and European guides went fully online along with site reviews. The Club should be guided by the ACSI app. Still, it’s kind of quaint to have books I suppose.

Just what will members without access to the internet be expected to do ? There must be thousands still around who have been with the club for many years.
