if you are a member of the C&CC you must be a member to use the certificated sites....

but not all of them ask for proof...

and some have a members only area attached to a commercial site..

so Yes and No...

Sorry!

we have been to 4 certified sites this summer and not once were we asked for membership cards and was sure that others were not members so would we have had our discount taken off

It's worth it if you use their sites a lot as your pitch fees are a lot cheaper.

I really like C&CC sites. They always seem well kept and well run, although I have a few reservations about Corfe Castle.

I would be interested to here about your reservations with Corfe Castle site as its one we are considering for next year.

I'll let you know when I've heard back from the club - they will appear in my review in due course!

It may be the case that they have plans in hand to address my concerns, or that there were exceptional circumstances while we were there. I'd rather not slate them if that's the case.

I didn't really want to get all legal but as no one else has mentioned it, I believe that the "unlimited tents" sort of wording arose out of the Caravan Sites Act 1960 which set up the need for campsites to get local authority permission because people thought things were getting a bit out of hand. Because the Clubs made a fuss about this, the Act also allowed the Clubs and certain other organisations to licence sites for use by their own members - the limit was set at 5 vans and anything bigger than that needed local authority permission (it also allowed temporary rallies etc). But the Government obviously didn't see the need to limit the number of tents. And that's all that means - ie there is no limit set by statute. As people have already said there is of course a limit set by the size and layout of the site and the rules about how close you can pitch.
I know all this history this is a bit boring but I find it quite interesting. Does that make me sad?

Not at all Stephen - I found it very interesting too.

Maybe we're both sad.<G>

Changing the subject slightly. We joined the C&CC and I've been looking at the local clubs and am really interested in a meet they are doing locally. Do you have to pay extra to be a member of a local unit before I can go on the meet? Does anyone else go on meets with their local group?

Hello again.
             I'm curious to know, if the sites that don't ask for Membership Cards, accept Non Members, and assume all visitors are Non Members.

Thereby charging everyone the Non Members Premium.

Unless they produce Membership Cards?

Get my drift?

Regards James

Cheers Bob.

I'm just waiting for my membership stuff to come through the post and the phonecall to say my tent is ready to be collected and I shall be booking to go on the meet.
