I am not sure I am uninterested in who owns the Club but I do find it a somewhat abstract discussion because like you if its doing what I want it to do the ownership doesn't really impact on me. I also find it hard to imagine that the Club would be worth much to any Hedge Fund as say compared to the AA with a reputed 15 million members the CMC is most certainly small fry. At the end of the day it is really the members who are in control because if they don't like what is happening they don't have to renew their membership. For the faint hearted who think there is nothing else in the camping world outside the Club I have the disturbing news that yes there is and if the Club no longer existed as we know it the world won't come to an end!!!

Posted on 03/01/2020 17:18 by JVB66I do not think any one will say there is nothing beyond the cc, or for that matter the ccc, but but the familiar and high standards of most sites of both clubs is better than the "unknowns "that keeps both clubs buoyant

You have alluded to this before, the idea that (some here but everyone before in your posts) club stayers do not look beyond club sites and blindly go to them, but perhaps there are (actually no perhaps about it) many who have looked at other providers and decided for themselves that club sites offer the best for them?
That certainly is why I use club sites.

I would agree, even just by reading on CT everyone would know there are other providers. But the main problem is the vast variation in quality among them. People have said how websites and website pictures can be, and indeed have been misleading.
Yes there are sites out who rival and exceed club site standards, no doubt and I would think these are great if you like one, two... and return to them, you know what you are getting. But if you are planning to holiday or tour to an area you have not visited before, what do you do? Take websites at their worth, or book a club site where you know the standard (and indeed the pictures) will be what you like and prefer?

Oh Dear me YES Brian is positive of That since
A ) Brian is in receipt of the State Pension so if you pay your taxes as, like all good folks, I am sure you do then a { very small } part of that government income is paid out to us deserving Gerry Hatricks !!
B ) From my very first days with G P O Telephones until it was rearranged by Harold Wilson in 1968 we were Civil Servants & pensioned as such
