Renewing club membership after short break

^^ Nope!

But our lack of preparation with the old van is what led to us not using it enough and then selling it, so we're determined to be more on the ball with the new one :)

I imagine the problem is that once a member leaves the Club all personal records are Deleted User because of data protection rules. Therefore if you reapply there are no records from which to add back in your previous years?

Data protection makes sense

You'd think that maybe they could repopulate the new membership with the old details you provided, if you gave them the old membership number and the joining date, but I guess that if literally everything has been wiped, then they've only got your word that this information is correct!

As said, not an issue at all, but I was curious! :)

When we re joined, I spoke to someone at HQ, and they managed to merge some aspects of our lapsed and new membership, and it did look as though our new card would retain our almost thirty year status. It worked for all the online stuff, but the new card bit didn’t. We weren’t that bothered about the card to be honest. Three months between our Membership lapsing and rejoining, although I was still registered online.

It did resurrect a previously cancelled booking in Marazion.  We had a call from Site wondering where we were on the day we had been due to arrive (Scotland as it happened😁) It all got sorted very amiably though.

Not sure I understand your complaint!  Who sees your membership card, the site wardens and I'm pretty sure most of them couldn't care less how long you have been a member for

That's because it's not a complaint, more of an observation really!

As said in the original post, it just seems a shame that previous membership years have been "lost" for a break of around a couple of weeks. It doesn't matter at all! :)
