    If they don't appreciate the responses then maybe they shouldn't ask the question.

    Let's face it, it's never going to make the Booker shortlist.

    All done and dusted 👍

    It's a very well thought out magazine and should have a small additional charge attached to the membership fee money-mouth

    Sorry HD to lessen the odds even more but I have also completed the survey! I have to say I didn't find it that easy as I had trouble nominating things in terms of importance as I am not sure the magazine excels at anything! I tend to find much of the content a bit superficial.

    Has anybody else noticed the increasing amounts of advertising flyers, charity letters and other dross that comes through in the plastic wrapper of the club magazine!  Is it really necessary? Does the extra income go towards making the magazine better? Personally I give to one charity close to my heart for personal reasons! I don't want to subscribe to endless cases of wine ect.  Just give us more space for members letters.......

    Your question was answered in another post only recently by Staff member Tracy. Her reply is quoted below.

    David

    I emailed our Commercial Manager with your comments and this is his reply:-

    "I am delighted to hear your views around the importance of the Club magazine. We have constant surveys and members still view the magazine as the main form of communication. 

    Regarding your response around unwanted advertising and communications this is more of a complex matter. The magazine has a significant cost attached to it and its main function is to provide our members with information required to enjoy their main hobby, which is touring. Regarding the advertising and loose inserts, we endeavour to make hobby specific and or relevant to the demographic. Without the support of advertising, the whole cost of producing the magazine would be a cost. As a Club we need to consider spend wisely. 

    Many of our advertisers are now either member offers (most exclusive to our members) or products which are related to the Club shop, where members receive a discount to purchase relevant products to support their touring lifestyle. Look out for the member offer and Club shop icons. 

    The leaflets (inserts) that accompany the magazine, do perform well, indicating that members are using the products and services advertised, however we understand it is not for everyone. We do have strict guidelines on advertising we accept through our channels. We also understand that any advert is only relevant if an individual is considering that purchasing that product or service."

    I hope this has answered any queries.

    Kind Regards

    Tracy
