What surprises me is that the warden didn't mention the risk even though it is posted on the Sandringham website. In my view this is negligent and I am very disappointed that the Club is not more proactive in making members more aware of such a significant risk to our 4 legged best friend.  

Tried to book a ferry but you can't do that on line through the Club as it comes up with an error. Had a look at Wightlink for a crossing and this came out at £235. Now makes the CC offer look stupid. I can get to France for the same price from Portsmouth and I know where I would rather go.

Getting very worried now that another site we have booked, St Davids (all grass unfortunately) might do the same, anyone know how likely this is please?

The Show annually attracts over 150 trade stands and over 10,000 visitors.

If you intend taking your caravan or motorhome The Caravan Club site at Strathclyde Country Park is less than half an hour’s drive from the SECC. If not, then rail links to Glasgow are good from just about anywhere if you don’t live in the area or fancy driving.

Just had an online chat with the support, they did not have a answer today, only suggesting that a new Road Show in April in Derbyshire may be replacing it, but details left for call back nect week.

I don't have the Regional Contact Dave's details to ask him direct.

Thanks

Upon opening the inner door water was all over kitchen floor, there had been a power cut at sometime resulting in the freezer defrosting and all the frozen food being  ruined.

There are several posts regarding how it should of been dealt with and what needs to be done and i think the best ideas have been said an automatic system that contacts you regarding the CC site.

But this does not have to be only for the weather it could be used for many uses.The play area is closes,pool closed,Reduces pitched due to weather/or unforeseen circumstances  .

the list is end-list.

The other issue is with over 200 sites how can they contact every member.

Not everyone has email on the move but I'm guessing that 99% have a mobile.

My idea is set up a automatic text message service that only sends you a message if you send a text first ( auto reply system )

Before or during your trip you ask the CC site your heading to for a current update and they send one thru text,its then up to you if you travel or not.

Government reduced the 20% to 5% to come in next year. A small victory or a continuing battle to get it back down to zero?

5% is still a big chunk of extra money on most Statics too when you think about it.
