Adult only sites & number of dogs

You're welcome to bring your GCs to any CC site, Broadside. There are no dog free CC sites and no plans to make them so - we have been assured.

Your "second point" question Ian

I'm a member of the Caravan Club

I'm sure you'll be surprised to know I trust their professional decisions based upon the data they harvest - including marketing decisions

Do I think as a single member I (or you) should be trying to dictate to the Club that they should launch an experimental "AO" policy on half their network based on my own views as opposed to 1M other members?

Erm, no I don't!

Cheers

Bugs

As a caravanner who uses AO sites - usually CLs - I'm happy with the current CC policy of not restricting the use of its sites to suit a particular wing of its membership. We select CC sites with the knowledge that children are welcome. We also have an idea which sites are unlikely to attract families especially the smaller non facility sites which we we use regularly when they are located in an area we wish to stay.

Many caravanners are just that because they caravanned with parents as children -  I'm one - and would hate the idea that the CC would put anything in place that could potentially reduce membership in the future and change the ideals of enjoying caravanning as a family..

As a general point, Bugs I think that you will find that we are all allowed an opinion......or should be.

More specifically, you have already admitted that you don't have access to CC marketing research (if indeed, such research exists).

Also, you make a very bold assumption that a million people would have a different opinion to me (or you) on any particular issue. Not really credible, I'm afraid.

Cheers,

Ian

Ok, lets take those points one by one...........

1. Where did I say folks weren't allowed an opinion Ian?

2. No I don't have access to CC Market Research (why on earth would I?) - but I trust my Club to be gathering such info and making decisions accordingly - don't you?

3. No, my mention of the size of the membership was merely to point out that you asking for the Club to turn over 50% of sites to AO wasn't realistic - as the current marketing strategy seems to be working rather well!

Cheers

Bugs

I don't think the club would throw away any income, especially so lucrative. Even if it could replace all those families currently staying with adults, they would lose all the income from those children's fees. Even on those sites with a £1 per child v £3 that's a lot of money to be lost when you consider how many children use club sites over the year. Fees for adults would have to be higher to compensate.  

Like Bugs I trust the club to do the sums and work out what's best. Of course if you don't like what the club does you can go elsewhere. You don't have to stay on club sites.
