Adult only sites & number of dogs

Well I certainly would not look at them in a negative manner and I'm pretty sure those who may would be in a minority.

No, we can't let these folk dictate, pass judgements and make holidays uncomfortable for fellow members. If they do start to make holidays uncomfortable for other rule abiding members then it is they who should be banned!

So some post that the club is living in the last century, or such having an AO site would be popular. Once again are these claims based on preconceptions and prejudice, or those that don't like children (which is fine by the way) or true facts?

Bored here at Heathrow (and the Business  class lounge is very good, perhaps there should be a business class pitch on club sites?) so the club's Buxton site is fully booked (already!) in July and half of August. The local AO site Clover Fields is not. Surprising isn't it especially as Clove Field is £4 per night more expensive?

Maybe, just maybe the club has done it's homework?

Seeing the post title I would have not bothered to look further, as neither of the two things suggested appeal to me, but was drawn by a post that had got 94 replies-by the time I had looked through it 101.

I was reminded of a saying that a colleague used, at the end of his e-mails, that;

" It is the sign of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it" and wish that could be the case as i would like to make a meaningful contribution.

However, having looked through the 101, and counting, replies I will follow Cybers example;

Well looked at few AO sites around York, York Caravan Park (2 miles) has plenty of space (availability good) while Rowntree Park is rather full. Again can't understand this as the non club is again cheaper? and AO? 

I,ve seen comments that infer that adult only sites are forward thinking and to dismiss them is outdated well concider this.If you want to talk about forward thinking we are supposed to be liveing in a progressive and none discrimatory world more than ever these days or am i missing something ?? so the idea of banning certain members of society is going to fit in with that ethos is it ?? not for me it is,nt. Here,s an idea lets have a couple of 18 to 30 sites or an over 65,s site or some sites with only one pitch for those that really want it quiet

sorry meant the Clover Fields site is £4 cheaper

😛How about no 'smirking' sites?😳

I personally am not in favour of AO or dog free sites -------------- but there are obviously other members who may benefit from either or both. 

I therefore respect their right to hold that opinion and the subject is valid for discussion.  

A previous poster included this within their post :-  "" It is the sign of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it" ---------- " and wish that could be the case as i would like to make a meaningful contribution ".

Those members making a meaningful contribution are as valued as those who want to bury the subject under the carpet. 

Cheers................K 

Whole heartedly agree with that, it reminds me of that saying: 'Consider the opinion and then the other opinion'!

However, things are rarely as binary as we may wish them to be and often many shades of opinion need to be acknowledged and considered when planning for change.

That's enough philosophy for today! 

My suggestion for midweek AO sites was meant to be tongue in cheek, and I certainly would not want a dog free site, but I do like the concept of "adult focused" site and think that there are those around already in the form of non-facility site. Only wish that there were more of them!
