Full service CLs

Thanks DJB.

Only the 9 new ones in August's updates from Maddie's thread for you this month DJB.

You have my and many other members appreciation though.

Further to my earlier post on pictograms, I said,

 Further to my email suggesting these pictograms. I have now sent off another email as I understand the new directory goes to print in September. Lets hope the answer is more positive than the last one

 Good luck Harry. I've sent ones in the past but they have never received a reply. Hope they have some sense and are open to new suggestions.

I received a reply from the club on the 19th Jul confirming they had received my email and would follow it up after passing it onto the CL team. We are now 17 working days further on and no reply yet. So like you Wherenext it appears I didn't have Good Luck

Sorry to add to your workload DJB. Please add High Gregg Hall Farm (no S.D. number as new since last issue) to list. Found under Kendal in Cumbria.

I "know what you mean 'arry" 

DJB, another to add to the list, perhaps. Under Much Wenlock, Shropshire,  Park Grange, No.1239 in the current Site Directory, has a tap with a two way splitter between every pair of pitches, the 6th being a spare pitch. Greg waste goes into the hedge behind each pitch, which are all on grass and have EHU.

DJB, your No.153, Church Farm, Wiltshire does have a website, (churchfarmstays) but it is not listed on the club's old CL page. Don't know if it is included in the new booking system's web page.

I received the latest mag today and decided to set about updating the spreadsheet of CLs with enhanced facilities. I always check on the CAMC website to establish other details. At that point I came face-to-face with the new bookings website !

In the past newly listed CLs have always had their own web page but, searching the new 'super deluxe' system, none of them exist. I searched for Court Farm, only to find that there are three Court Farms listed (without any additional guidance to indicate where each one is) only to find that the listed one, near Lewes, does not yet exist. I would have expected that new CLs would gain a presence on the website long before they appear in the mag. None of the other new sites in the CL Sites Update are listed. A poor show for the aspiring new CL owners.

Having given the new bookings system a trial run I can fully understand the feeling of desperation in the ranks. Much of the previously useful information about Club Sites and CLs has now disappeared and instead we are presented with sites literally thousands of miles away. Why have indicative site fees for CLs become a trade secret? 

The new website even tries to establish how old I am - yes, OK for continental trips but not for dear old UK. What is the GDPR justification for CAMC needing to know this data?

Back to the spreadsheet.  It's on pause until CAMC smartens up its website(s) so that I can find the info I need. Sorry folks!

DJB, I think the only way to access them at the moment is to go the the list given by Maddie on here each month, or so. If you look at the 2022 open and closed Sticky put out by Maddie you can get a link into the new CLs. For Court Farm at Lewes, it appears in her August list and so do others too. These lists don't always match up with what is published in the magazine but it is better than nothing. 

Hope this is of assistance.

Thanks Nellie........  Yes, there is a website which keeps itself secret.  It is not listed on the current CAMC page for this site.

Useful advertising being kept secret.
