Hi all

Does anyone know where we could advertise our campsite for the use of rallies etc by members of Exempted organisations.

And does anybody on here do the same thing. We only open for 28 days a year under planning regulations but I believe clubs/members of exempted organisations can use our field without it affecting the 28 days.

Thank you.

So any of these organisations that were holding a rally on your campsite outwith the times that your site is oficially open for normal camping, would also have to have their own insurance to cover them while they stayed there?

Thanks Llani. Will do.

We have public liability which covers the whole year  but I would imagine most of the clubs would have their own insurance anyway. 

May I ask why you have such a restrictive planning requirement imposed on your campsite? Have you thought about operating as a CL or CS or both where the planning restriction would not apply. If you could divided the area by two you could have a Caravan Club CL for 5 vans and a Camping and Caravan Club CS for 5 vans and I believe up to 10 tents, this could be a way of circumnavigating the planning rules.

Yes, I have seen their website. Think they are more to do with giving clubs exemption certificates in the first place, but I will contact them when .

Thank you

Have you contacted either the guiding or scouts assoc? and asked to be placed on their lists.

Scouting details HERE presume guiding has a similar list?

Will the neighbour be counting the days in use.  If not stretch it.  It doesn't say they have to be consecutive.  Or play dumb and quote the no more than 28 days consecutive camping for any one camper.   

28 days=  Friday and Saturday night camper to leave Sunday.  14 weekends during the summer period.  Make it an offer   Campers can stay until sunset on Sunday. Most weekenders  will be over the moon with an offer like that.   In a field for 3 days for the price of two.  Your benefit will be empty field on Sunday night.  Ya boo sucks to the neighbour.
