Hello all

I am a new member and was wondering if there is any way to filter for adult only sites?  Or if anyone can recommend a adult only site in Cumbria I would appreciate it. Also I can not find any restrictions of how may dogs are allowed on sites.  Only that dogs are allowed on all sites.  I have three and some sites that are not club sites will state that 2 is max.  Would hate to book only to be told that having three might be a problem.

 

Thanks

As some seem to be putting forward suggestions for AO sites, here's my penny's worth.

How about the club making some sites, as an experiment of course, AO from Monday to Thursday inclusive out with the school holiday periods. Would be easy to implement as that seems to be the case now anyway!!laughingsealed

As I have a dog and have holidayed with grandkids -- the idea of A.O. and dog free sites would not be my choice,-----although I can see that for some caravanners it could be close to utopia. 

No-one will ever know until the CC conducts a trial..  Therefore Nellie's idea, seems to be very sensible, open minded and modern.

It would be completely harmless and only affect the chosen CC sites during the experiment. Those who have dogs and kids, would, like I would do,  just choose a site not on the experimental list. 

You never know,, The idea might catch on -or - not prove popular. The only way to find out is to trial it. 

Only the dinosaurs on here have closed minds,---- the rest of us realize that the world moves on.

I would like to see some sites such as Clumber Park AO just at weekends wink

Seriously though ....... Clumber Park is on our tour route and we are deliberately avoiding the Saturday by arriving on Sunday. Still would not wish to see any AO sites

May be a better starting premise would be to categorise such sites, as already suggested, Adult Focused. May be this could be trailed first before contemplating a ban on children which in my opinion would be against the ethos of the club.

That's a good suggestion, micky, and so much more positive than the "let's try banning things and see what happens" idea!

The club now has an "ideal for" section at the start of club site descriptions and maybe this could be made a bit more prominent to encourage folk to choose a site which is more likely to suit them whilst still retaining the club's basic ideology of being inclusive to all members?

The issue that may arise on a "adult focused" site is ,if a family arrived would they feel that everyone is "looking" at them ,and make them feel uncomfortable...............

The CC is a family club first and last and thats how it should stay.If it goes down the road of excluding children at any time on any of its sites then it will cease to be that.I find it very difficult to understand why anyone would want this type of setup but each to his/her own.Caravanning is and always has been a family activity.To those who crave this sort of site i say find one somewhere else because for me there is no place in my opinion for adult only sites in the CC.

I don't think that's likely to be the case HD, since, presumably the family would have made a conscious decision to use the site anyway.

I know we've had complaints about children cycling or playing ball games on site in the past on CT but actually on the sites themselves that's rarely a problem and in fact could be even less so if the family were aware of the nature of the site to start with.
