Hi , we are new to the caravan club and are a little confused with how the membership works . So my in-laws are members and me and my wife have been added as additional members. Our membership cards have arrived so we have registered on the side and added our membership numbers but when I come to book a site it’s listing that we are non members ,can anyone help with this ?

Only the lead member can book a pitch.

As additional members must share the same address as the lead member, it shouldn’t be difficult for your in law to make the booking for you.

To be a reduced price "family member" as is usually printed on your membership card i would think your in laws are the full members, you need to be living at the same address to enjoy the club membership ,if not you need to be a full member in your own right with your OH

We don’t know that he isn't living at the same address, JV, hence my comment about how easy it will be to get the in law to make the booking.

We are all at the same address and we submitted all this info when we signed up ,if they make the booking but will not be with us will we have any issues when we get to the site ?

Your membership card should show family member but with the same number as your  in laws ,which is what the booking ref will show on site arrival printout ,so there should not be a problem  ,just make sure it is the same reg on vehicle as on the booking as it may well be checked

That’s not a problem we just couldn’t see why our logins wouldn’t let us book at a discounted rate. 

one other question when I book a site for our Motorhome for 2 adults and a child under 1 yr old it is showing a price of £27.09 does this sound right ? We have selected the option that says pitch with 1 adult then added another adult =
pitch with 1 adult £14.69 +1 adult £12.40 

sorry about the basic questions we are completely new to this and just trying to understand the booking page process

You need to look at the prices listed for that particular site on the dates you booked in order to check. They’re listed on each site’s webpage and they do differ by site and date but it doesn’t sound far off the mark to me.

PS. No need to apologise. Happy to help 👍🏻

The  way we always book 

pitch  

 it then asks amount of adults  ie 2

which should give the amount per night ,that will be the members price 

a non member is £14 per night more but do not think they can book on line

If unsure ask your inlaws how they do it
