Grave thoughts
I picked up the magazine from the doormat to include with the other trash on my way out to the recycle bin this morning and it didn't cheer me to see an enclosed flyer staring at me from within the plastic bag telling me I should be making funeral plans.
Proof, if needed, of the predominanty geratric membership.

I must admit I do enjoy reading the mag I don't read if from cover to cover but I pick out bits of interest such as places to visit and reviews of motorhomes etc also I like the letters section but maybe I shouldn't say that too loud lol

Do what I did, take yourself from the 'Mag delivery' list. It can be done on line, no Mag & no bumph

I never read the leaflets they give with the mag they go straight in the recycle bin
I don't even undo the plastic bag. The whole lot goes straight in the bin, unless I remember to give it to my neighbour for litter for her cattery.
No need to add to your areas recycling, just put a tick in the appropriate box in your Profile.

Spriddler, apart from the flyers which most magazine contain, how do you know the magazine isn't worth reading if you put it straight into the bin?
Whenever I did flick through in the past there was nothing of interest.
50% adverts. I know what I need so if I want something I don't wait until I see an advert.
Nature and tourist board cribbed articles, usually with a half page filler colour photo of a Robin in snow or boats in a harbour.
Sycophantic letters swooning over sites, wardens, Green Flag or criticising dog owners, parents, shower-lingerers, puddles on the pitches..........
I've no need for chewing gum for the eyes to pass a wet day all the while there's still fluff that needs picking out of my jacket Velcro.

...So you are one who "contaminates"recyling as polythene wrappers are not normally accepted

I pay these guys to collect and sort my rubbish. Nothing more, nothing less. They get quite enough pleasure from abandoning my bin halfway down the lane and in a neighbour's drive. (I wonder why?).
As soon as I can find my Profile I'll opt out of the cat litter

I was disapointed to read in the mag. this month that the Rowntree Park wardens came in for abuse because the site was on high flood alert and being evacuated. Was it by club members and have they been suitably warned about their behaviour?

Given that the production of the magazine must have a cost factor to the club; then a total of twelve of them and their saved postage must amount to an identifiable sum over the 12 month period. So why cannot the club deduct, say 80% of that figure from
your annual membership?

Husky, Agreed but you are missing my point! If you opt out there must be a saving to the club that you should share in.
TF
TF, sorry my reply was to the OP ( didn't make it clear )
But would it give a saving on membership ? , the club may loose out on advertising revenue if they don't circulate the mag to a certain number of members , so by sending out the mag they are guaranteeing the circulation for the advertisers , but obviously
they can't make members read it0 -
If it goes straight in the bin not sure why you even looked at the flyers. This post has been done before. I am afraid if you do not like the magazine bin it and leave the rest of us who do like it to read it in peace.
A look round any site though will tell you the average age is higher than the public in general. Still the advert helps the clubs finances so who cares who it is from.

If I didn't have the mag, what would I read while waiting to collect the grandchildren from school? Books are just 'too' engrossing.

And for anyone who rallys or may be thinking about going to their first rally there is a complete list of every rally arranged by the CC Centres for 2016. Kellysmum
Thanks for that. I have just opened the package. I had used to app to download the magazine so didn't see the rally supplement. Maybe it should be along with other supplement be downloadable, like the magazine is. Or is that to radical a suggestion?

I enjoy my monthly canter through the CC mag, in conjunction with the CCC, practical Motorhime and MMM mags.

Not much chance of that unless you really do look like the Spitting Image version of John Major.

I normally just add the magazine to the recycling pile as soon as it arrives as I prefer to selectively read the on-line version. However this month I, in the interests of comparison, had a browse through the paper version.
What did I find.. Pages and pages and pages of advertising. with virtually nothing of any interest in between. Yes I know that the on- line version also has wall to wall adverts , but somehow they are not so in your face and can, to a degree, be avoided.
As soon as the CC offer a discount on the annual fees for those not wanting to receive the paper magazine I will stop them sending it out. Meantime I will resume the time honoured practice of dumping the CC advertising catalogue, otherwise known as the monthly mag, straight into the recycle bin.

Well I must have the best travelled copy. Mine arrived about ten minutes before we departed for the airport to fly to New Zealand via Singapore so i took it for some in flight reading and the crossword. \\\\\\\\\\\currently it's with me in Singapore. It
will probably go to New Zealand as well as I have not had time to finish the crossword. I'll beofre someone else does, I know it's sad.0 -
