The future

I notice on a C&CC site you'll get a smile and "good morning" from people you meet whilst usually on a CAMC site folk try to avoid eye contact or maybe you'll just get a grunt. Of course there are exceptions but, in the main, people are much more casual on C&CC sites and far less stand offish. That's my opinion gained over nearly 50 years of membership of C&CC.

Thats just how I and OH tend to find most people on my 52 years of cc membership usually quite congenial,in their attitude

Two years ago we gave the ccc a try and apart from the "age concession" did not notice any diference with the members , some of the Management at the Sandringham site did need a bit of training in public relations,

  We have not bothered to renew ,as their sites did not seem so well organised as the cc ,but then maybe thats why they keep pushing"the friendly club" as staff seem to turn a blind eye to so much

The difference between the two clubs has been noticeable during the pandemic. When the sites were open the C&CC reduced the number of pitches available which left room for children to play and easier access to facilities. CAMC pursued a different policy, packed sites and band systems for busy facilities.

I think the future for the club remains to be seen regarding their attractiveness for families.

You're on the defensive side JVB.

The cc also reduced pitch capacity ,and if it was more noticable on ccc it probably meant they were "a bit to close",to start with,  not for children to play

Due to camping styles the C&CC provides an easier going atmosphere, people are more likely to be outside and there is interaction. You have to wait for very warm weather on CAMC sites to see who's around!

Every CAMC we visited was full during open spells this year and no pitches out of use.
