Nice enough site, but not really a CL

A pleasant site, but it doesn’t come close to the spirit or definition of a CL as I understand it from several years of using them. Instead, in our view, it should be classed as an affiliated site in which case it would be absolutely fine. As is stands the “CL” is simply an area in the middle of a much larger static and touring site, only separated in part by some very new hedging that is about 18” high. I appreciate that it’s still being set up, but the basics aren’t going to change just because the hedge gets taller. If this type of site is permitted to call itself a CL then the whole CL concept is in jeopardy because eventually many others will follow suit, using the Club’s marketing to help fill their otherwise unassociated spaces. A huge part of the appeal of most CLs, to us at least, is their being small, very quiet, often very simple and non commercial. Sites like The Willows are none of those things but, it is nevertheless a nice site of its own different type. As a side issue we found out on arrival that the prices had been increased without notice, advertised at £13 but charged at £16. The web site is still showing the old price.
