- Travelling to Ireland with dogs
Whilst pets do not need a "pets passport" for travel to Ireland (a certificate of good health is recommended), members should be aware of a number of restrictions affecting various breeds of dog.
Regulations require the breeds of dog shown below (including strains and crosses) to be kept under tight control. When in a public place these dogs must be kept on a strong chain or leash of no more than 2 metres by a person over 16 who is capable of controlling them. They must also be muzzled and wear a collar bearing the name and address of the owners. Breach of these regulations could incur a heavy fine, seizure of the dog or both.
Breeds affected are: American Pit Bull Terrier, English Bull Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Ban Dog, Bulldog, Bull Mastiff, Doberman Pinscher, German Sheperd (Alsation), Rhodesian Ridgeback, Rottweiler, Japanes Akita, Japanes Tosa, Dogo Argentino and Fila Brazileiro.

New Arrangements for Disney Tickets
The Club has a policy of continually trying to get the best possible deals for members on any third party products and services.
We have now made an agreement with “Attraction World” to supply Disneyland Paris tickets to our members at a guaranteed discount from normal public rates and consequently these tickets will no longer be available directly from the Club with effect from 1 July 2007 . Tickets for other attractions such as Futuroscope will also be available at discounted rates.
All you need do is to contact Attraction World on 0871 700 8888 and quote your CC membership number to order your tickets. Full details of their products may be found at www.attractionworld.com
Take a look at our online booking system to compare and book Eurotunnel services. As well as this you can book ferries and overseas sites at your own convenience.
Members can now get quotes and purchase their overseas holiday insurance online. As well as this new service, members can still make calls to our dedicated team at East Grinstead House.
To assist you when booking Continental campsites which are not in our Advance Booking Service network, suitably worded letters in five languages (including English) can now be downloaded from the Caravan Europe page of our website.
