Try joining a few rally centres ....I am not too sure but you may get some printed lists of events...otherwise your local library will have web access for those without a 'puter with very helpfull staff...but as you so rightly say, considering the age of the clientelle of the club, not printing rally events is taking cost cutting a step too far.

The Caravan Club is damned if they do and damned if they don't - they refused for many decades to have any facilities online or by phone which couldn't be replicated by post in order to avoid discriminating against their many older members - but they've gradually dragged themselves into the present day and are now being criticised for not retaining the old methods.

Personally, I find the club magazine a waste of time/money, it's simply full of promotional material in one form or another.

I'll second RodgerL on that, best bit is the crossword. Personally I couldn't care less about Rallys just not my cup of tea gingganggoolyingLaughing.

Agreed as only one or two worthwhile articles of any interest.  Letters are a waste of space.  Did any one read the artilce about the club myths? A total hoot!

I've no gripes with adverts. That's what makes the mags survive financially whether we like them or not.

A great shame because with a circulation of nearly 350,000 you'd expect a little more "ground level" stuff,. Now if PCv had such a circulation our Nigel would be in for a Steve Hester type bonusWink
