Out of politeness for those on another thread I felt I should ask the question of what type of site/ club is right for the future..
Judging by previous comments over the last year on the state of C & CC club I think that it's gone after a policy of trying to emulate the Caravan Club i.e. more uniforms more rules and more investment in facilities and therefore a rise in cost.
I for one don't think it's the right strategy (based on a business strategy - not as a customer) If you look at the on the membership profile more tents and probably a different demographic it's probably a financial disaster in the making.
As a family we are members of the Caravan Club which I feel offers us a better balance of style of site, facilities, and dare I say it your neighbours are different. I say this as friends of ours who camp have noticed a massive increase in tents this is probably linked to the 4 sleeping bags and a tent for £100 in Argos.
Camping has become accessible, the problem is it accessible to people who want to start every sentence with F**K, drink Alco pops like tea and who will quite happily *** round the side of you van to use it as a screen to urinate.
I think that the founding fathers of the C & CC would be quite aghast at this, as PaulA states this isn't what the true membership wants either
