    Does anyone else find it somewhat pathetic that a Club member (JayEss) is doing more about this matter than the entire Club management?

    Well done Jay! 

    The management may one day have to put down their bone china tea cups, take off their smoking jackets and finally, actually DO SOMETHING for ther money.......

    Write your comments here...I agree with almost everything you say Ian, with one small but important matter. It is not their money but ours.

     I see we've still not had any confirmation that these are the only three sites affected.

    It appears that Mr.Lefley must have stopped reading CT forum, maybe through embarrassment, otherwise I'm sure he would have let us know.

    Bumping this because we are still awaiting a proper answer from the Club to explain their actions (rather than the two very weak responses that Ro passed on to us, that didn't answer the issue at all).

    Also still waiting to hear who closed the original Broadway thread, and why.....

    Ian, you'll have a very long wait./ If HO were going to say anything they'd have done so by now.

    I commend you on your endurance Ian, but I don't think we will hear from any of the City Fathers in head office, the reason could be their total embarrassment at being found out by mere members, who they mistakenly thought were gullible enough to swallow their pathetic attempts at shifting the blame away from their obvious culpabilityYell...Cool

    Ian, why don't you e-mail them directly and ask for an explaination? Then you can post the reponse on here for all of us to see.

    Doesn't surprise me, but if members keep pestering them perhaps they'll get the message, and then we might too!!Wink

    Bump.

    Reminder - we are still awaiting a sensible answer to why the CC instructed Savilles to try to get at least three popular CC sites allocated for housing development.

    Also still awaiting an answer to who closed the original 'Broadway' thread and why.

    It's all part of the authoritarian approach that permeates the CC including its treatment of members. WE are being treated like mushrooms - kept in the dark and fed on bovine excrement.

    I don't think the Club will comment further on this matter on this forum as they have already given their explanation. They may be, just maybe, willing to give more information by direct contact. Its just my view but as this section
    is about using sites and touring its not really the best section to have a sticky of this nature, others might think differently. However I will flag this up to the CM to see if she would like to add anymore to the discussion.

    At least we now know what is driving the folk at CC headquarters, and it isnt its Members best interests. They should be looking for more Freehold sites within walking distances of towns and large villages, NOT for their potential resale value as building
    land, but for the convenience and pleasure of their members. Broadway is a very well used and much loved site, and is in no way  Surplus to requirements.Whoever said that it is ?  Is a liar, and is working against the wishes of the Membership. The Annual Meeting
    should be very interesting this year. 

    Selling Freeholds of sites is short termism for limited financial gain, and is in no way compensated by getting just another Associate Site in a similar area.

    The Club as it is now bears little resemblance to what it was years ago, in terms of sites. Far more AS sites coming on board than pure Club type sites. Not saying that they are not good, just that they are different.

    Thank you for flagging up this issue, David although I have little faith that the CM will do much, based on the standard of reply from management that she was prepared to pass on last time.

    I also disagree that management have already provided an explanation......just printing some words that make litle sense and don't explain their actions doesn't count as an explanation to me.

    But thanks anyway.

    Either way CY does not inspire any confidence.

    I am not interested in associate sites being added. We need club run sites and no unnecessary disposals. The club is extremely profitable, has adequate reserves and there is no need whatsoever to sell sites, we need more and the club has the money to add some so we should concentrate on this.

    I am not too concerned about the club adding some AS sites. Some of the AS sites have been a part of the network for many year and I find them a welcome addition. However I agree that more CC sites are needed. 

    Maybe the club needs a new agency partnership or two to help acquire. A new site should be worth some good fees

    Think you might have dropped a comma there, Alan. Seems a tad unfair on CY otherwise! (Laughing smiley!)
