Just got my renewal for the other club.much cheaper than this club and a discount on their more reasonable site fees for being old!makes sense!

depends on your definition of constructive I suppose. Is wild camping seen as a good or constructive thing? Is it good for the club to lose income on people staying elsewhere? Or does it need to have extra work for its staff and when it is doing so well?

Just questions.

I think this club gave reasons very similar to your points when they last rebuffed the idea, Corners.

Members only on the C&CC forum. The forum itself is really a very basic message board with even less functionality than this forum! You do get people expressing their concerns but it doesn't lead to the sort of vitriol you can get on this forum. That could be something to do with the C&CC insisting that people use their real names rather than anonymous user names?

Good point David. 

Personally I have never been a fan of non members posting.  The club says they can use non members posting as a recruiting tool, however, I haven't seen any non members post and then suddenly their avatar shows the membership sign.

wasn't there a new poster who posted recently that after reading stuff on here he was a little apprehensive about using club sites? So maybe it's not the recruiting tool the club wishes?

I remember one. Was it Fatbelly? I could be mistaken. 

The input from most non-members is welcome. The others would post in exactly the same way whether members or not and have proved it.

I suppose only the Club could tell us if Club Together is still a useful recruiting place for new members. When the forum was originally set the Club did not have a Facebook page and I wonder if that might be now used more by people considering joining the Club? As an observation most of the non members contributing to the forum are previous members who for various reasons have decided not to continue their membership. I am thinking of people like ValD who is no longer a member but continues to provided useful information, especially in the Overseas Section.

If it was just 7 posts per member on here then to some posters it would be like doing "cold turkey".laughing
