What’s the point of the Club if sites are full?

I left the Club last year because we mainly take our motorhome to Europe but I was happy to rejoin as we thought a week away in the UK might be good whilst we await new travel rules. So, having decided on a nice area in the South East and found a Club site we fancied - it is totally booked out in June. Fortunately there are plenty of commercial sites with lots of availability in the same area and in many ways I would prefer them to a Club site.

I suppose you could say that the Club is successful by having their sites sold out, but - a “touring Club”?! Seems to me that it is a highly specialised Club catering for a few people who want a very specific experience far removed from normal camping.

I would just like it known that we prefer midweeks, do indeed have a dog, but are a long way off getting our State Pension yet😁

As for the Club using forum comments to guide policy......🤔

More no facility sites....

Dream on....................😉

Yes TDA. There are numerous issues discussed on here at great length that have not resulted in changes, number of dogs, paying for dogs, turning car parks into MH pitches, more SP, less SP, toilet cleaning times... and of course don't forget flags and fairy lights.

When the majority of members come round to that way of looking for club sites, then there might be a case ,even more CLs are upgrading to mini club sites with toilets/showers. above the EHU that the majority think is essential for them, and even Hardstands that it seems are now essential for motor caravan owners

Notwithstanding Rowena's reassurances, I am not in the least convinced that views are valued and certainly not acted upon. Anyone remember the "wish list" for the revised forum some years back. How many of those recommendations were acted upon.As Margot said " I rest my case, Gerry"
