Be sure to mention why you are taking your subscription fees elsewhere when you tell them you are not renewing next year. It might not change anything but it will make you feel better. Awful way to treat members / customers.

UPS - truly awful customer service. We sent 3 shipments to Sweden last week, all sent using the paperless system. All 3 are being returned as they do not have invoices attached 
1. The system is paperless you muppets, your system
2. Contact me if there is a problem, we could resolve it rather than returning goods pointlessly.

Have you considered Ramsey? Perhaps a little further to travel but I was a member at Brampton many rears ago and subsequently at Ramsey. i enjoyed Ramsey far better for the overall membership experience.

I resolved never to use them again after they left thousands of pounds of items stuck in a warehouse for months and tried to blame customs, which I proved to be a lie and then did nothing about it after they were exposed as liars.
Their Trustpilot makes for entertaining reading. Most people assuming the U stands for Useless.

It is a bit of a faffy journey and think recently they have struggled financially. Agree though it's always felt a friendly club.

I'm afraid there is a sense of the club being stuck in the dark ages and I'm sure some would be delighted if the whole Ladies section left! David had a match a couple of weeks ago on a Thursday which was men's midweek medal. Just a book your own tee time and book into the comp so usually 30ish guys do it. His opponent was very irritated to see a woman on the course "when it's men's medal day"...he meant it - David told him to jog on, or words to that effect!
Oh and Charley Hull and Meghan MacLaren regularly play in shorts a couple of inches past their butt cheeks - I'd love to see them being kicked off the course!!

Hey, I hope all is well and it was nothing too serious.
You'll be suffering me for a bit longer I'm afraid

Have the Ladies considered moving to Thursdays? They may have even recognised the issue before suggesting it.

Just thought I'd quote this to bring it back in view.

To be honest the Ladies aren't keen and don't help themselves with the "we always play on a Tuesday" mentality. Wouldn't bother me a jot but I have to say I think the issues will remain. I have looked back on the twitter feed and already this year there are so many Tuesdays where mid afternoon the images of the work they've done are posted. Also the major work is always started the Monday after the men's monthly medal. I know the work has to be done sometime but it can't be coincidental that it is always to minimise the disruption to the men's comps. The Thursday element I understand is if they sand the greens (which they LOVE to do!) as they can't mow for a few days due to the sand blunting the blades and, therefore, that work starts on a Monday/Tuesday.
It's something I've put up with since joining the club but it's either getting worse or my patience has waned. Possibly a bit of both. It is prevalent at pretty much every club I've been at BUT is way more in your face and with a great big stuff you at Wellingborough!

Seems like they are actually trying to help - if not communicating particularly well (possibly from fear!)

Last year one of our guys was asked to change his shorts as they were a bit long - the guy is about 5” nothing - they weren’t very polite about it and it’s no surprise he isn’t going this year.
It’s a shame as it’s a lovely course and clubhouse

Trust me - you need to know the Course/Greens Director and "help" not in his mindset at all. At least it would appear recently the state of the course has seen many complaints - he'd be incensed. I can hear it now "how dare they, if they're not happy they know what they can do"!!

Sometimes the people in charge are so disconnected from what's going on and what the members want
I contacted our "golf operations manager" about societies being on same day as the mid week comps.. could we just move the comp, everyone wins
He said basically no, no need..comps don't move they set in stone .. not enough uptake to change.. blah blah
My mate is on the handicap and comp committee and he is of same view as me.. got him to bend the ears of the others and now we have 1 extra comp a month.. (so much for little interest)
I also notice August comp has moved back a week... I knew when it was as it clashed with something
Txt my mate saying I'm glad comps are set in stone and can't be moved .. he just laughed
Some people just like the title and have no idea what their doing
