I think chasncath should read the link below

In simple terms, as a "Full member" of the Club you own the Club. If you are a couple, one of you will be a "Full member" and as such are entitled to vote at the AGM. The Committee members are there to represent the members and if you read p13 of the January issue of the Club magazine there is an invitation to members to apply to join Club Council from which Committee members are selected. There's no conspiracy or hidden shareholders! Sorry.to disappoint.......

This question has been asked before, and was answered by a representative of the Club back in 2017 see...
If you want to get involved in how the club is run, I suggest that you offer to become a 'Nominated Member' of Club Council. This is open to anyone who is a member, unless they are involved in the 'caravan trade'. Unless you fall under bye-law 2.3
A person who is materially interested, directly or indirectly, in the caravan trade is not excluded from being a member but is not eligible for any Executive Position or for membership of the Club Council. The Executive Committee is the sole arbiter of what constitutes a material interest in the trade for the purposes of this Bye-Law.
This definition covers those who own and run CL sites (which it may surprise some to learn means 40% of the club pitches), so if you are an owner of a CL site, whilst you have to be a member, you cannot get involved in the running of the Club or advising any of the committees.
