As a member of both clubs we use mainly this one because the sites we need most are theirs. The C&CC has far cheaper insurance and the breakdown cover looks better, I prefer this clubs sites and the booking system with no deposits but the C&CC have a few sites we want to have access to.
The C&CC are very hard on keeping deposits if things go wrong and you cannot take up a booking even refusing to transfer bookings.
Frankly this club is the friendly one generally and the C&CC is far more dictatorial and commercial in its approach.
As for the treatment on arrival I am open minded as to who has the best system, both have their good and bad points so you have to live with them.
The C&CC wardens though do seem to have become less officious than they used to be.

I've just been reading the C&CC magazine and noticed that some member get reduced membership fees - i.e. - "over 65 and 25 years continuous membership".
So, I must remember to check if it's applied automatically at renewal time.
We were thinking of dropping out this year, but may continue now.

We no longer have to pay membership fees with the cc, and to get "age" discount with ccc you have to take proof of age i.e. driving licence to a ccc site where the site "manager"will check and place a special sticker on your membership card,so I understand have yet to do it as we only joined this year when we got "free?"membership with RAC Arrival
Ps ccc 2019 men, is £40 or £46 IF mag req

Not quite true - the first time you qualify for the age discount the site manager will mark it on your card and record it. Thereafter it will appear printed on your membership card. It is certainly a great incentive outside of high season (and on some sites even applies then.)
