Ownership

Many caravans cost almost as much as half a small house in the North of the UK

Terraced House in Oldham sold recently for £89,000

Beach Hut in Southwold, Suffolk sold a couple of years ago for more than £150,000

What North/South divide?🤫

So a fairly normal large Motorhome would cost more than a house up north but less than a beach hut down south. Makes one think a tad.

Whilst it may be 'many', its not all, and, maybe, even not most and I would think most ease themselves in with an older, cheaper, van to begin with and then upgrade as finances allow.

From what we've seen that is no longer the case, although when we started out that was the way. Now it's more like they get the biggest flashiest units they can, whether they can afford off of not.

The biggest and flashiest units seem as told to me by sales men at dealers is caused by several scenarios

1 people down sizinig their,prperties

2 equity release

3 money that children have inherited from relations 

Al l of which was virtually unheard of  when we were younger

Hence it seems why so many think it is still a reasonably priced way of having holidays

I am perfectly certain that the CMC do not discriminate in any way; to do so would be an outrage not to say illegal! I would hope you are merely stating a truism.  

Nonetheless, I have never seen a person of colour as a site manager, or assistant, in 35 years. I have seen a gay couple - at Seacroft in, I think, 2015; so once only - to my knowledge.

But one rarely sees persons of colour on sites, as campers, so I suppose it is hardly surprising that none, or very few, apply to be site managers.

It must be difficult to take on single people as site managers; for a start you would need  extra accommodation - perhaps taking up an extra pitch that would otherwise be revenue generating. Nonetheless, as a single person myself, it strikes me as disappointing that, in all probability, a position as a site manager would be unlikely unless I were part of a couple.        

There.are several single site managers and now groundspersons  working for the club but the problems arise as to how a single person will fit in a site rota 

JV, you are speculating, the Club would resolve rotas.

Here is link to Working on our Sites webpage that explains more….

Not speculation ,just what managers past and present have  advised 

 hence the information fir singles on the recruitment website 

Some very large and busy. Sites have an overall manager who is not in the rota Brighton was or is one
