UPDATE: A new 5-Tier system being put into place in Scotland from 6am on 2nd November. At this stage, all but 4 of our Scottish sites will naturally close for the end of the season on 2 November.

Those 4 sites remaining open (with restrictions) are:

Edinburgh - Level 3
Strathclyde - Level 3
Melrose Gibson Park - Level 2
Stonehaven - Level 2

Those sites in Level 2 will operate as normal (albeit not accepting arrivals form Members who reside in either Wales, Tier 3 areas within England or Level 3 areas within Scotland).

Those sites in Level 3 will close to all members who do not live within the relevant local authority area, but will remain open for those who do live within the same area.

The Scottish Government will be doing weekly reviews on the situation, so please refer to the Government website for the most up to date information.

The Club's web page is up to date with the latest campsite information. Please check back regularly and before travelling.

All the best,

Hannah

Following the UK Government announcement which will place the whole of England into a countrywide lockdown, it is likely that the Club will have to temporarily close its network of campsites in England from 6pm on Wednesday 4 November until the Government advises that we are able to reopen them (currently forecast for the beginning of December). The temporary closure also applies to our Certificated Locations and Affiliated Sites.

"A government statement said: "Those currently on a domestic holiday will be allowed to finish their holidays, but are still subject to the requirements in England not to go out without a reasonable excuse".

Only likely? Presumably this is because those already on site can stay until the end of their booking although there doesn't seem to be much point if you cannot go anywhere?

"Likely" because the proposals have yet to be approved by Parliament.

The Welsh campsites that would normally be open from 9th.November should be re-opening as the FM has announced that Welsh residents, subject to current lockdown restrictions, will be able to travel freely around Wales from the 9th.

So time to dig out the Site Directory for a suitable CL somewhere nearby.

I think there is a conspiracy somewhere in the making, if we were not going into lock down until next week , say Thursday 12th Nov, and you were coming out of lock down on Monday 9th Nov, we could have got the cvan out and scarpered into Wales found a nice site and stayed there for a month as it is we will be confined to barracks as of Thursday 5th Nov

Well, I've still got my booking for Black Knowl for next week although I don't think I'm going to get to use it. Even though we are below the national average for infections where I live, I'm not sure about the ethics of it anyway.

Even if they do reopen there won't be many Club "chairs" for us in Wales to visit. Only 3 all year sites, Tredegar House, Lady Margaret Park and Brecon Beacons plus Pembrey until just after new year. At least until December we will have them all to ourselves.
