    No, but we are on a digital membership. The new cards came in the post today over a month before the old ones run out.

    No calendar for me either and I’ve only been a member of C&CC for 50 years. There again, half price veteran membership is worth more than a calendar.

    I thought it was limited in numbers, so not going out to everyone?

    We usually do our own as well, although have had a break this year. I have a nice Yorkshire based one for next year, a freebie from somewhere.

    I print out a monthly view from “Outlook”. It sits by the  computer and all farm meetings and comings and goings are written on. It has enough room to write several things for each day (if you have neat writing). 12 - 18 months are held together by a small clip. We get calendars from various businesses, but my husband uses them to stand his muddy wellies on by the back door. Then tears of a page when it’s too muddy.

    It's been years since I've used a printed calendar of any description.  These days I use the Google/ Gmail calendar, where I can set up different 'calendars' and share them with the relevant people.  I access them on my phone through a third party app - aCalendar  and directly through Google on the laptop.  It means that my wife can instantly see when I have added something to the diary (and vice versa).  I can even see certain sections of our vicar's diary, when he adds funerals and weddings which I am needed to play for....

    I use Outlook calendar monthly print offs if I am planning a tour. Up until now I have booked the nights I can and then go back to keep an eye on other nights becoming available so I can see at a glance the days I need to keep an eye on.

    I probably should investigate an integrated a diary system but we still us a wall calendar  for that.

    I use my phone calendar and a big RHS diary. Unfortunately I'm notorious for not checking dates and times so even if I had things in six foot letters in front of me I still might miss them! wink

    Countryfile Calendar for me but it is empty of bookings as I can't go where I want to as the sites are booked, so waiting for cancelations.

    We have got a Countryfile calendar but as far as trips away are concerned OH will only enter them on there broad brush, as a period of weeks. All the detail is on the iPad Calendar and of course available on associated devices. I also like the fact you can quickly scroll back to previous years and see where you were when. All our sites are booked for next year,😀 except for the period we plan to spend over there.

    No chance of that, unforeseen circumstances excepted of course. More chance of needing more, if for any reason the over there 6 weeks isn’t possible due to the ongoing pandemic. If that should happen, I’m sure we’ll find something. You just need to be more flexible about where you want to go. We didn’t book last September / October until a couple of months before, as we were planning to go to France. We had no problems getting sites and visited all 3 countries of the UK, ranging as far south as Salisbury and as far north as Aberdeen. Most of the sites were CAMC, with a few C&CC.

    Had a new one for 2021 but as we didn't do much it is mostly empty. Think I will use it for next year and save money.

    Haha, got one the other day when out food shopping. Classic cars, OH will like that.smile

    I like to hang it on our notice board so it can't be to big, I also like to mark appointments on it, silly really as I rarely look at it.

    OH, marks bin nights and which one to go out.

    Steve it is impossible to be more flexible than me as I can go anywhere that isn't fully booked  at anytime and any how, but it isn't necessary where I want to go.

    I don’t suppose last September / October was everywhere we wanted to go, as several places we looked at were fully booked. However, as a result we tried a few places we wouldn’t have immediately thought of and thoroughly enjoyed them.
