Crowded out

This sort of story getting into the National media is exactly why CL Owners shouldn't break the rules. It's bad publicity and also a shocking indictment on the CAMCs ability to regulate the CL system.

If you want the law to change to increase the number of units then ask the club to champion it or go private. Don't flout it.

Hopefully the club will write to all CL owners telling them to comply with their certification.  If that’s the case then threads like this could become the exception not the rule

As a C L owner I can assure you that there is no need to write to me, we know the rules as do every other CL owner.

It's simple - if you blatently break the rules your certificate is revoked!

Unfortunately the club seems unwilling to attempt increasing the 5 van limit

Stuh, I know that the vast majority of cl owners follow the rules.I apologise if you think that I was suggesting otherwise.  

Oneputt I know you were not referring to the majority who follow the rules but it must be a level playing field for all CL owners who all know the rules which are not optional. I hope the CAMC review these posts and take action against those who knowingly abuse the exemption certificate to protect those who do follow the rules

Hello, I didn't say I regularly flouted the rules. These are your words not mine.

“…but having the 6th pitch enables us to invest more in the site and cover our increasing outgoings.”

Your words, not mine. The above certainly didn’t suggest it’s a rare occurrence. 

I noticed you carefully avoided replying to my earlier post but I feel you act responsibly and your actions have greater implications than you seem to realise. Other CL owners must feel saddened by your blatant flouting of the regulations. 

Ted the Zed seems to another of those that think rules apply to others but don't apply to them. I would guess that when he signed up to become a CL owner he knew that there was a limit of 5 vans. If he had wanted to carry more vans on his site then he should have applied for a commercial licence from the beginning. However he would then have had to advertise his site at his expense and not had the free listing that the CC gives him in the site directory and web page. 

Thank you for all your responses.

To be quite clear we will abide by the 5 van rule. If there was a discussion about the possibility of raising that limit to 6 vans I would support it as it would give rural economies a boost and help CL owners to invest more in their sites, club members would also have a 20% increase in availability.
