Our LA sends me a text at precisely 4pm on the day before a bin collection is due and specifies which bin! Very handy. Ros still insists on marking her diary for every bin collection for the full year, though. Don't know why, other than if it isn't in her diary, it doesn't exist

Herzberg's Hygiene Theory applied to Club Membership and Calendars! I knew that I would be able to use that learning one day, and it's taken 13 years after I retired for it to come in useful ...

But doesn't that argue against Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs?

This might be of interest to you Nellie. Might pick one up cheap in an after Christmas sale.

Cheers, WN, I'll keep my eyes open for their sale, as I'm short of tee shirts, although I done think OH thinks so.
Perhaps CS would like this one. https://www.cycologygear.co.uk/products/bike-maths-mens-navy-tshirt?refSrc=405051080745&nosto=productpage-nosto-1

The CCC had 800 calendars to give away. But members had to enter a competition in order to be in the hat for a freebie. The 12 photos are from members and each of these received a £20 voucher. I understand that there were 3000 entries for the calendars, so a fair chance of winning one!

Not as far as I'm aware, they're overlapping, rather than competing. Maslow was concerned with the Individual's Needs, peaking at 'Self Actualisation, whereas Herzberg looked at the Motivation Factors for the Individual at work, and the 'Hygiene' elements that focus upon the conditions and items that we expect to be present, and go unnoticed, until they disappear and that causes demotivation. The Calendar and/or Diary was used by the Lecturer to illustrate the point; 'Nobody values the cheapo damn Diary from work, but take it away and see what happens, you'd think a World War had broken out' is as near verbatim as I can recall his words
That's possibly why 'Hot Desking' proved so [un]popular for employees, despite the obvious organisational benefits for the employer. 'He leaves 'MY' Desk in a mess, and he's pinched my Ruler' etc. These disputes needed a referee, long before the availability of VAR and pitchside monitors ...

Surely the main difference between them is that the basis of Maslow’s theory is human needs and their satisfaction, whereas on the other hand, Herzberg’s theory relies on reward and recognition.
However this isn't going to get us that much needed 2022 calender.

The only calendars I use are on my desktop and it is synchoronised with those on my tablet and smart phone. Paper calanders are wasted on me although I do buy the annual one produced by the foot and mouth painting society. This is pinned up in the motorhome more as a decorative piece than a useful item.

Sadly we must say goodbye to the C&MHC as our membership terminates tomorrow after 39 years caravanning and 37 years of membership. We have had some fantastic times, been to lots of places you wouldn't normally dream of. Our first van was a Knowsley Athenian bought for £200 (£195 + £5 because I used a credit card!) we went on to have 6 more caravans moving from gas lights and a foot pump to all mod cons. We used club sites almost exclusively, very few CL's and never rallied. Our travels took us from Morvich to Tuscany only ever had two punctures, only one on the road. Introduced two of my son in laws to caravan life, one of which continues. The club, sites and facilities have changed immeasurably over the year, generally for the better, sadly having reached our early 80's, Covid was the straw that broke the camels back and decided the time had come. One of the best thing to happen was the club taking over Strathclyde Park from the local authority, it became our most regular site as my wife was from Motherwell, which just goes to prove that caravanners are crazy, how can anyone enjoy a site surrounded by a motorway, a dual carriage way, a railway line and an amusement park but it had connections, several member's of my wife's family worked at Bothwell Hough Colliery on which the park is established, a plaque is by the hotel. Good luck and best wishes to the C&MHC and it's members in the coming years and to all the caravan newbies, make sure it's fastened on and just do it. David & Irene Grimshaw.

D & I - you've done well to continue caravanning into your early 80's!
We changed much (well, a bit ) younger than that and now enjoy different styles of time away, either in our static van or self catering cottages (and, hopefully, when allowed again, trips abroad.)
I wish you the very best with however you decide to spend time in the future.

Received one last year, but nothing so far this 2022. Didn't use last years one as it was not the format or size that I use for a wall calendar. It got stuck in the cupboard and remained there until I had a clear out just before Xmas, when it got recycled. So, a no from me.
