CL Photos

Hi All,

Thank you all for your comments, we are always encouraging CL owners to provide photographs of their sites. Some owners do not want to provide them or as mentioned in other posts they do not have internet or email.

Our CL Advisors who visit the sites each year will try to encourage and support the CL Owner by explaining the benefits of a photograph and offering to take the photograph on the owners behalf.

All new CL sites are required to provide a photograph before they are even published on our website. 

Thanks

Maddie

Excellent, thanks Maddie 👍

All new CL sites are required to provide a photograph before they are even published on our website.

Except that's not happening!  I've just done a quick check back on the monthly open list to August 2018 and found 5 new CLs opened and listed since then without even one photo, just the standard 'awaiting image from CL'.  It's not supporting new CLs when they're published on the website without photos....they're perhaps going to have a tough start and maybe think it's not worth it as a consequence. All bar one of those 5 still have no reviews and some have been open since August 2018 which says to me that they've maybe not had many visitors...

If we want the CL network to prosper and grow we need the Club to support new ones by insisting they have a photo on their listing (the sites officer who gives final approval could take one) and it should be a flattering photo too....one I saw recently would definitely not encourage me to visit!

Just out of interest, I know new CL owners have to join the Club, and that of course is £50 before you start putting together your CL. However, we use a lot of the long established CLs, some over 40 years with the Club, and many of these are not Club members. Does this have any implications in terms of the Club posting photos?

Yes, in recent years new CL owners coming on board have to be members of the CAMC which I personally believe is only right.

Non-member CL owners are allowed just one photo on the CAMC website.

Member CL owners are allowed up to eight photos on their listing.  So more than worth the membership fee, especially with all the discounts to be had.

All photos are uploaded in the same way once emailed to the correct department at Head Office.  They will do any re-sizing needed.

Totally agree, but I fear the club would not be best pleased with some of the photographs submitted !
