Where has the Good Sam Club gone?

WHERE HAS THE GOOD SAM CLUB GONE?
Joyce and I were looking for forms to apply for the May Tennessee Samboree but cannot find any connection for or about Good Sam Chapter news, Samborees or other member activities. It could be just my computer is not working correctly. I ask other Good Sam Members to check you computers and let me know what I am doing wrong. To give you something to judge what my problems are I have listed what my computer has to tell me about the Good Sam Community listings on the Good Sam webpage.
I searched for Good Sam Club TN and only get the Good Sam Club logo and the following message.
The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

Within communities when I clicked on Good Sam Chapters I got a box which says find a chapter. Picking a state it informs you who the State Director is and gives a list of chapters names, cities and Chapter President. Clicking on the Chapter President only give contact information.
Clicking Good Sam Events only opens an Email form to send a message.
Clicking on Samboree Events only gets you a list of events, dates, themes, locations and a view details link. Clicking on that get you a list of contact information. NO FORMS OR INFORMATION ABOUT SCHEDULED ACTIVITIES AT THE SAMBOREE.
RVer of the year gives a nomination link and a brief bit of information on past RVer of the year.
Stand by Sams bring up a USA map and clicking on a state bring us a contact list of those who may be still serving as stand by Sam’ers. I do not know how old or accurate it may be.
Refer a friend still offers only non life members a free year membership and takes you to a link and form to refer a friend. I guess if it works and they join it brings in money. That is all it seems to mean to the new owners. It does not seem to be about the member any more.
The Forum section seems to still be working. But I am sure the new owners control what makes and stays on the list. Even if it stays you have to choose a question section and hope someone else will ever see or respond to it.
How about the blog link? I could not find anything about members but a lot of information about insurances and camping world. Even in the categories link for club news was all about Camping World. I thought club news was for clubs and not businesses? Silly me.
The parking rights link seems to be unchanged and still provides a contact form.
The volunteer link is the same as before and is about the only thing which seems to be the same as before.


When I looked for local chapter news at: chapternews@goodsamclub.com which only took me to an email listing and no chapter newsletters or otherwise information.

  • Go to: www.tngoodsam.com. From there you can down load the Samboree application. Looking forward to seeing you there.
  • I Googled "Tennessee Samboree" and the state page was the first on the list. Clicked on that and it came right up. Clicked on Samborees at the bottom of the page and followed the trail. No problems.
  • There are some glitches in the community section. This is specific for Ohio which is my home state but I imagine the other state pages are equally difficult to access;

    To find the state web pages I have to go
    *community
    *samborees
    *Ohio
    *view details
    *Website: ohiogoodsam.com

    It seems to me like the state pages should be a sub-directory just under the community heading. As it is now finding your state web pages is a very convoluted path. If you go to;
    *community
    *chapters
    *Ohio
    there is no link available to access the state web pages.

    How about a fix?
