Adult only sites & number of dogs

well there are different parenting ways, ours was to be with our children looking after them while yours was to let them run free. 

What exactly is wrong with anyone wishing to find a quiet site without children present?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with that at all, dm, and there are plenty of sites out there offering exactly that. It's just that many of us (I hesitate to use the expression "the majority") don't see AO as fitting with the club's ethos of inclusivity.

Nothing at all. Some people like children on site some don't and it's their choice to choose whichever site suits their needs. There are plenty AO sites out there. You are not forced to join the club, you are not forced to come to club sites, but this is a club, we all pay the same membership fee to join and that means you should be able to access all sites within the club. Also it is supposed to be an inclusive club that welcomes children. Why join or come to a club site if you don't like having children present?

Quite agree AD, if the weather is awful they there may be no alternative otherwise children should be outside burning off their energy. A CC site may not  not the best environment for this.  

Nothing at all but if your looking in the CC then i,m afraid your looking in the wrong place.

There is nothing wrong in seeking peaceful and quiet sites, but to the exclusion of some fellow members who may incidentally be very quiet individuals, no!

As we all know, there are a few sites which by nature of location are particularly suited to families and, as a result, on a few of these sites there are additional facilities specifically provided for these families. Similarly, there are those sites which, for a variety of reasons, are particularly attractive to we older folk and are by enlarge frequented by us. Now we don't ban oldies from using the family orientated sites. Nor should we consider banishing the younger ones from ever entering onto or staying at those sites which are considered, by some, more conducive to us older folk.

Yes, by all means, actively and positively promote sites for their specific nature and facilities but to ban sections of our membership from using these would eliminate specific areas of our countryside, the pursuits these localities offer and other possibilities to them. This would be counter productive, divisive for many and against the ethos of our club in my opinion and rather negative backward thinking if I might be allowed to say so.

What's all this nonsense about Family focus and Adult focus CC sites. ?.  That's a bit like talking Mug-Wump. 

All CC sites are Suitable for Families and Adults. They are after all, only a parking place for the van, to allow those parked there to enjoy their holiday break and see what the surrounding area has to offer in the way of Family or Couples or Singles entertainment and interest.

Good parents spend their holiday time with their child or children,  sharing the experience together.

Well I agree whole heartedly with you K and I'm glad you've been won over to that point of view because surely earlier in the thread you were suggesting that the CC should trial AO at some of its sites. It's one of the strengths of this forum that folk can be persuaded to come round to a new way of thinking. Well done you! Smiley smiley!

Yes, you've put that very succinctly, K!

In a nut shell, as you say, keep as is with all sites available to all!

Its just that some think some sites are more suitable than others and wish to 'ban' some of us!
