Thank you one and all for your comments. Very interesting reading. We will try it for a year and see how it goes.

Mostly tent camping next year and then hopefully getting a micro camper around September.

I like "random pitches", where you can pitch any way round you like as long as no part of your unit goes outside the boundary of the pitch. On sites like that the pitches tend to be huge anyway.

When you do join, maybe try to get to one of all the various things they offer - Club Sites (usually good quality and in great locations but as has been said can be expensive especially in high season), Certificated Sites (CSs, usually cheaper, mostly with only 5 pitches and tend to be remote), Club Rallys aka Social Camping (sometimes with no toilet facilities so watch out for that if you're tenting, these are very cheap gatherings of club members at locations that usually aren't camp sites eg schools or sports pitches, etc and can have organised activities).
You might find you unexpectedly like one of these, some people go to nothing but CSs for example and so the years membership is worth it for that alone.
They also do insurance, deals on ferry crossings and booking sites in EU countries so that might also be of interest at some point
