Just read a post from Paul Woodward to thank everybody for supporting them over the years but that they were making changes. He was asked if they'd continue to maintain 5 CL pitches but said that they will no longer be operating as a Certificated Location. However, any bookings placed will remain the same but with fully serviced pitches at no extra cost. When we hopefully open in April.

Furze Farm and many other former CLs have shown that it's perfectly possible for them to expand in their own way - without a fresh CL straitjacket limit of ten, and without restriction of customers they choose to accept - members or not.
Furze Farm obviously has capital to expand - others may need financial help, but the Club shows no interest in investing as a shareholder to help smaller sites to grow.

I wish them well. We have used a lot of ex CL Sites that have chosen to expand beyond the 5 pitches. Every one has been nice in their own way, and have been well supported by those who have found the facilities exactly what they need.
Having been part of the Club’s network, they are often slightly more in key with what caravan users prefer, but many have put in place extra features that suit MHs as well, such as drive over wastes. Some of our favourite choices are ex CLs, particularly if the prices reflect the level of facility provision. Furze Farm is at the more “extras provided” end of the scale, but many visitors, caravans especially, will enjoy this.
I will copy and paste their website into the Small Private Sites Sticky, so that it is there for reference.
