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.

It is if you head off abroad every year. Some wouldn’t care a fig if UK Sites closed. 

I ask myself which is the more unique provision, nice Sites, much loved by UK holidaymakers, or holiday insurance, which dozens of firms provide🤷‍♀️

That’s a very polarised view, in reality most of us enjoy both - why would folks pay membership fees and ignore the UK offer? The Club will make up its own mind about business priorities.

You are on my wavelength Tinny. What comes first, the chicken (Club Sites) or the Egg (flogging insurance). 😂

I was responding to some of the polarised views SB😉

Whether we like it or not, be it holidays, buying on credit, buying white goods or whatever, flogging related insurance makes the world go round. For many businesses it’s a huge potential revenue stream, in many cases more profitable than their core business. Ignore it at your peril.

Unlike some, I very much see the chicken (sites) as the core business. The eggs (Insurance etc) may help balance the books but the club/business would cease to exist if it didn’t provide pitches. It’s surely CAMC's raison d’etre.

Well you’d be wrong because about 35% of revenue in 2020 is financial and travel services and Club sites account for 43% - not much in it. The Club would cease to exist if either dried up.

But I did. It’s the only insurance cover I know where you have to pay £54 to get access. I don’t doubt that for some it’s a good product, but it’s an add on service, hopefully bulking up the company profits to pay for extras at the Sites. Such as emergency staff cover....😁
