Members

I can confirm that this forum is available to non-members. 

Thank you kindly, will bear that in mind with future threads.

Why?

There are many of us who post here but are not members. The theory is that newbies can get the feel of vanning and CAMC and be encouraged to join the club. Also, many of us have been members and have experience to share.

Personally I appreciate the reassurance of knowing a person giving advice & tips is a bona fide Club member, their knowledge is current and they have vested interest in helping other Club members where they can, they are part of something.

Some forums tend to be anonymous, you never really know who's posting, these days it could be anyone gate crashing threads. Many seem to have people resident on them who's daily presence appears to be self serving, for their own self gratification and with little factual reliable contribution for others.

The CAMC caravan and motorhome community is so friendly and welcoming, it's a pleasure to be part of it.

Diddy, I am an ex-member of CAMC so post here as a non-member but I would like to think you are not excluding me or my fellow non-members from the criteria expressed in your first paragraph which I find a tad unsettling tbh. I and other non-CAMC posters are members of CT and I would have thought that was good enough for anyone.

Incidentally, just because people are CAMC members does not guarantee their advice is any better or more well intentioned than a non-member's.

Hi Dyddy

I find your first paragraph a bit unnecessary. There are a few posters on here that were members for a long time but haven't renewed for various reasons. They have a wealth of experience in vanning and more importantly have used at various times what the club has on offer. That in my opinion is not to be dismissed.

I'll agree whole heartedly about your last paragraph though, maybe not always on social media but on sites, you'll rarely find negativity but people that are part of what you allude to.

I hope you continue on this forum.

Well said, JK 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Hi JK

I can only speak as I find. Thanks for extending me the courtesy of respecting that I have my own viewpoint, even when it differs from your own. I'm sure you'll be the first to agree this should apply to everyone without fear of being bullied or intimidated online.

Meeting and socialising with a crowd of such lovely people at Club campsites is indeed a privilege JK.

Dyddy, I hope my words of explanation have given you some insight into both CT and the fact that non-members are not necessarily the villains of the forum. 😀
