2020 overseas travel book
Just received the book. I cannot understand why the club gives distances in KM and not Miles. This is so irritating, we are BRITISH, we think in miles and the vast majority of us have cars that just have MILES on the clock. No smug replies please that your car has a KM option the vast majority DO NOT.
Also why make it so difficult with site Night vouchers to see which sites take them. You have to log on to the club site and try and find the page which gives you the exceptions. This could have been put on the brochure it would only take half a page. And to make life even more difficult they just give country and site names in a long string. Every site in the brochure has a simple 3 digit code WHY NOT GIVE THAT as France and Spain have the most exceptions and are divided into regions which make it a long and difficult job to find mark up in the brochure.
Of course I may have missed it but I cannot find a price for them either!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lastly I can only assume the club is strapped for cash as each year the brochures are on thinner and thinner paper. Whats wrong with a bit of quality?
I hope some action will be taken next year to rectify these matter and perhaps not use unpaid interns but employ people who can think a little deeper than at present.

I cannot understand why anyone books their sites through the club. Two years ago at Camping Lac D' Orient I paid with a Camping Cheque bought as part of a ferry package the previous year, and the woman in front of me had booked with the club and paid £10 per night more.
As far as the paper quality is concerned I imagine most who send for the brochure glance through it for ideas and then bin it so why use good quality paper costing more?

I can, booked through the Club my 14 nights on a two centred holiday next June cost me £30, that being the difference between a ferry/site package and the ferry costs if booked directly. Incidentally if I had also booked the sites directly they would have cost £ 220.

Is that not the same discount off the ferry price that I get by buying four site vouchers?
I must be lucky then as I nearly always use ACSI or use up the four cheques I have bought as part of a ferry package and have always chosen my pitch, except in one case when I asked to move to another pitch and was allowed to.

Kilometres to Miles conversions. Is a little bit of mental arithmetic that hard? Helps keep the remaining little grey cells in condition.

I haven't seen the book in question, but I will glance at it when I see it - just to make sure that the places we like and the sites we like haven't been swept up into the advance booking scheme, but I don't think for a minute that they will.

Scoutman, I hope your pre booked two centre holiday goes well.
A couple of years ago we intended the same sort of thing - a week in north Brittany and a week in the south - but when we landed in Roscoff the weather was awful, and the long range forecast no better. But luckily we had not made firm site bookings, so we went to Provence instead.
