Re: Stay in May, get a FREE night in June!
Well we'll just have to differ, the club has adhered to the T&C, but if you opt out of receiving emails then of course the email will not be sent, that's the whole point of opting out. You cannot reveive what was not sent by your control or choice.
Write in to the club, you may get a result.
Re: Stay in May, get a FREE night in June!
Whatever it is, it sure ain’t discrimination.

Re: Stay in May, get a FREE night in June!
Having spent 18 nights on Club Sites so far in May I was looking forward to receiving my free night voucher for June. BUT .. COMPUTER SAYS NO !
Apparently, because I have opted out of receiving promotional emails ( ie regular unsolicited spam ) I will not have received my voucher and despite qualifying under all other conditions, they can't send me a voucher ( even after I have now updated the spam settings to allow such flotsam ).
Anybody else affected by this apparent discrimination?
Re: Hybrid for towing
Think it depends on the Phev really. I tow with a Mazda CX80 Phev. When towing it goes into towing mode and uses petrol plus boosts of electric power when needed. It also keeps the electric topped up as it goes so there is always some in reserve. I call tow 2.5 tonnes.
ANPR check ins
I used the ANPR check in at Abbey Wood last week. This went without any issues, but one advantage I was not aware of , if you click on the “Site” tab , this gives you all available pitches in your choice of pitch with a flashing symbol.As I know Abbey Wood pitches layout, I was able to drive straight to the pitch I wanted. You are then sent a text, to reply with your pitch number you are on.
Probably the only downside is you do loose the site managers interaction.
Re: Pitch-Up .com
PitchUp normally takes a commission charge of 15% of the cost of a reservation they make on behalf of a site owner.
Re: Performative Camping
The TikTok, Instagram sheep brigade might give it a try, but get badly mauled. We recently sat next to a lovely couple who had tried a camper holiday, she stressed about her clothes not being pristine. I think being confronted with how to cope going to the loo, having a shower, making do with minimum cooking facilities will frighten off most. This lot seem to prioritise props for a photo over basic comfort😂
Thinking about it, we have come across a few owners with huge caravans and motorhomes that don’t seem to be coping that well🤭 Proper camping is a different mindset….
