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 15/10/2021 19:30 by SeasideBillWell 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.
Posted on 15/10/2021 19:32 by TakethedogalongBut 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....😁

I beg to differ but it is a clash of opinions, that’s all, not fact and not a matter of right or wrong in this is hypothetical situation.
However, without its core business, there would be nothing to attract people to the club and the 300k x £54 would vanish as a membership fee would be inappropriate. Conversely, without its insurance and travel service, people would still use camp sites. The 300k x £54 might well reduce but there would still be a strong membership….in my view.

You’re splitting hairs. A business would be very fortunate to survive a loss of more than a third of it’s revenue. I’m not sure what the Clubs fixed and other cost commitments (e.g leases) are, but I’d be surprised if it remained solvent without closures and sell-offs even assuming stable membership subscriptions which only account for 20% revenue.

I don’t think you are a problem😁 And I thank you for spending such vast sums of money down the years that has enabled the Club to upgrade its Sites, and to offer low prices during the Winter months. You are a credit to the Membership ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Let’s hope the Club uses some of the profits to sort out its staffing issues now.👍

That is because the club no longer does caravan insurance it can only sell its 'cover' to members therefore. Is this the case for motorhomes? I doubt it.
About Caravan Cover
Caravan Cover is provided by The Caravan Club Limited.We collect contributions from
members and use the contributions for the provision of services and other benefits to
members.
We offer cover on a discretionary basis which means that your Executive Committee
has sole and absolute discretion on deciding claims and may accept or reject claims in
its discretion. It also means that the Executive Committee may, in its discretion, agree
a claim which falls outside the terms of the Caravan Cover, or which may even be
expressly excluded, if the circumstances warrant it. The discretionary cover we provide
is not a contract of insurance, and The Caravan Club Limited is not regulated as an
insurance company.
