I read elsewhere that C&CC are closing some sites and cancelling people’s bookings due to staff shortages. Sure enough, it's true and they've updated their website today. I hope nobody here is affected.

Posted on 14/10/2021 20:47 by nelliethehookerSpot on, WN. We have used plenty of club sites over the years to know what they are like, and much prefer the individuality and space, among other things, that CLs offer compared to club sites.
JVB, there is no one on here that has a more blinkered and confrontational attitude than you have, IMO.
Posted on 14/10/2021 20:52 by WherenextYou prove my point.
You've completely ignored the other 3 paragraphs which relate to the legitimacy of me being able to post about club sites and CLs. I need say no more, wasted breath.
Posted on 14/10/2021 17:43 by CornersteadyYou could be right with deposits, but I think that most people will have gone by the prices on their booking and not really taken in the actual price paid?

The difference the VAT rebate to staying on a Site made all the difference for us in Cornwall this year. It was actually cheaper for us to use Marazion Site than to go to a CL. Same with Exeter Racecourse. So we did understand and take into account what the actual cost of our stay would be. Both are Sites we know well, and like, both are at the cheap end of what the Club offers. We like to tour for around £14-£18 per night average. We will pay a good bit more if it suits, but our needs are basic, a Site is usually just somewhere to sleep.
Plenty of space is in our top three preferences. 😁

Posted on 14/10/2021 17:41 by CornersteadyWell lets do some maths? I've just done a quick count and not taking into account AS sites Scottish sites account for about 12% of club sites, yet you keep trying to paint the whole network just on Scottish sites. You're the one who keeps posting using only Scottish sites to substantiate your views, it is simply not the case.
And now your pushing this by arguing about the difference between many and most to rpove your point? is there a difference?
I think you need to visit more sites before making such wild assumptions Kj. I can probably say I've been to more than you. Now try and keep on topic?

Well, if you want to count, how many different Club sites have you stayed on, you can count in affiliated sites too.
Looking through my records, we have been on 87 Club or affiliated sites, most still exist, but some are long gone. Some we have used more than once.
Best play area we have seen on a Club site was at Barnard Castle.
The reason I have referred to sites in Scotland is that that is where we live, more precisely, just outside Glasgow. When you have toddlers, or invite someone with toddlers to join you on a site, you/they do not really want to be travelling more than a couple of hours max to your destination, but you also do not want to be just down the road at Strathclyde Park, especially with it being next to a busy and noisy motorway.
There are not many Club sites that fit the bill, within a couple of hours travel from our place when towing.....Ayr.......Edinburgh....plus affiliated ones ........The Woods.....The Ranch. I believe The Ranch has a good play area, Ayr is hopeless as far as play areas go.
Overall, Club offerings for members in Scotland are not great, if we wanted a weekend away on a Club site, our choice would be very limited. There are large areas of the country with no Club sites at all.

err no, it's my count so my rules 
AS are not club sites in any shape or form at all. They are completely independent of the club, have their own set of rules, bookings and procedures. Some even charge deposits and not subject to the cancellations rules of the club! They just get (for a fee I imagine) the use of the club's name but that is it. It has been discussed before and those that 'expressed a view' all said they are not club sites with no one saying differently. I'm sure they are good sites but not a club site.
Indeed you appear to be short changed club site wise in your neck of the woods. I assume it is only the CL network that keeps you a member?
