They are probably assistants taking the rules to the absolute. Unless you are entitled to an age consession as a member you are allowed to stay in a members unit as a guest without paying the non members fee so you wouldn't need a membership card. Sorry, not well put but do you understand? The non member pitch fee refers to the pitch not a person in a members unit.

Does the CC&C have the same system as the CC where a family has one membership but two cards? It does seem that someone is interrupting the rules incorrectly. Perhaps an e-mail or letter to the membership department would result in sites being reminded of what is required.

You think so David?

Correspondance is not the strong point of the C&CC

We have only ever been asked for one card usually the person booking into the site.

In answer to original posting, yes that happened this year.  We went to Chertsey C&CC site.  I handed over my membership card but receptionist insisted they needed to see OH's card too.

I've never been asked to show both of our membership cards, i normally carry both in my purse.

In fact on two occasions i haven't shown a card at all, although neither time was an actual club site, once was on a CS when i forgot to pick them up from next to the phone at home , and the other on a forest holidays site when i still had last years cards in my purse , they were very understanding both times.

I can't see why they need to see both cards on club sites as the membership number is identical so all the details of joint membership will be there on the computer, but if that's whats happening more i'd better check my purse more thoroughly in future!

Surely according the their rules if you are in only one unit then so long as one of you is a member then that's what counts.

We used to be members and only ever had to show one card (if any) when booking in. 

They have all your details on computer from the booking you made so can easily check that you are then actual memeber by asking for a debit/credit card, driving license to confirm your identity - after all you could be using somone elses membership card but would you be using someone elses debit card?

Razskull   you have to join the caravan club (CC) or the Camping and Caravanning Club (C&CC  or The Friendly Club). 

You pay a yearly memebership fee and get a membership number/card and can book at any of their sites at a members rate - thus saving money on site fees.  Think it's about £40 a year (please correct me if wrong).

Not all sites CC or C&CC require you to be member to book a pitch but youpay more than a member would.

Have I got this correct?? 

We aren't members anymore as we didn't find some site managers helpfull or very friendly when we needed help or advise whilst we were new to it all (or particularly child friendly) - other members and campers were excellent and we learned a great deal from them and met some wonderful people.
