    Modbury CAMC site is more or less and Adult Only site with very few children, It is ideally located to visit Cornwall, Dorset and Devon. It is dog friendly and a hidden gem

     This site is RUBBISH!! I can't back track to read any of the previous posts. All I'm getting is the the other AO post by IanH and even that has no comments added!!. yellyellyell

    It's changed today; I clicked on both threads, one says it has 62 posts, the other 13.  Whichever I clicked on I got the thread with 62 posts.  But, when I clicked on the date and time posted by Moulesy (Posted on 12/06/2017 21:48) I then DO get the thread with 13 posts in it.

    I haven't posted for a while until a couple of days ago and things seem to have deteriorated, not improved IMHO.

    What a ridiculous notion on so many fronts! What on earth would constitute a particular site being deemed adult only. In the past we have used several of these sites with our children which have had very few children on them, we booked them not for their facilities but because they are in the localities we have wished to visit! 

    Those sites who some deem good for families will never ban just couples or singletons from them would they! Why? Because the club is very correctly an all inclusive one. Nor will they ban the younger generations and their accompanying parents/grandparents from any club site and that's the way it is sure to remain.

    Micky - please leave out the personal insults, it's unnecessary.

    As I said, things change. The CAMC is trying to be more commercial and the commercials very much see the advantages of AO sites.

    The CAMC do take a long while to 'turn the tanker around' but even they will see the inevitability of it soon. Or rather, the commercial operation that takes over their sites will certainly see it.....and do it.

    Ian - you obviously have a genuine wish for some CAMC sites ( not sure which ones) to become AO, and we must all respect that opinion.

    But I'm puzzled about why you apparently choose not to use the AO sites that are out there already. I mean Sandy Balls and Woolacombe Bay aren't AO. Neither are Brighon, Broadway or Rowntree CAMC sites. And Keswick C&CC certainly isn't. And yet a quick look at UK Campsite finder shows AO sites within a few miles of each of these. I'm sure it would help many of us to understand your position more clearly if you could explain that paradox! smile

    Moulesy - have you taken over from your associate Corners, as my stalker? smile

    Must try harder though, you've missed many of my chosen sites......

    Anyway, stick to the thread please.

    What was there about my post that wasn't sticking to the thread, Ian? Those are the sites you've told us about - there are AO alternatives near each of them. I'm just trying to understand your reasoning - you want some CAMC sites to be AO but, apparently choose not to use existing ones - it's perplexing to a simple soul such as me! wink

    BTW - I don't have "associates", I speak for myself! smile

    Indeed Ian, as you seem to keen on AO sites, have you been to any? And what  Are you on one now? I think this question is very relevant to this thread.

    Stick to the thread please Ian! wink

    Can you tell us which AO sites in the UK you've used and can personally recommend? After all the CAMC will be keen to know what you would like them to model AO sites on. smile

    Really, please note I talked of the notion being rediculas not a person! No personal insults made by me!

    Maybe a list of those club sites which the few consider would lend themselves to this form of exclusivity and 'reasons' why this discrimination should happen might generate some good discussion, any offers?

    Also don't forget that families also generate more income per pitch so on another front this notion makes no sense even on those sites where few families choose to visit. They still, quite rightly, have the right to book on these should they wish to do so and that will remain.

    It ain't happening, all those new initiatives like pods and camping sheds etc are inclusive initiatives, no member is banned from booking them. The whole club is inclusive to members, always has been and will be.

    No doubt Corners will be along shortly, to criticise your spelling of 'ridiculous' and use of the word 'ain't', in order to explain why your post is 'wrong'. As he has done elsewhere.

    Because obviously, his spelling is always correct.

    Anyway, back on topic, I predict that AO will be used on CAMC sites (or what are currently CAMC sites) within the next couple of years.

    Financial reality and following market forces.

    Sarcasm instead of a genuine reply, Ian - is that what you mean by "stick to the thread"?

    Now about those AO sites you've used and on which you base your desire for club sites to change - any examples for us?

    Here's an honest suggestion in place  of the early evening bickering - we have used and approved of Somers Wood at Meriden as an Adults Only site quite close to the Club site at Chapel Lane, Birmingham.

    Ian, the thread is about your wish for some CAMC sites to go AO isn't it? I don't think it's unreasonable for those of us who disagree to ask you for some insight into why you want that to happen! Still if you want to continue avoiding answering the question we must be left to draw our own conclusions! smile

    Thank you, Ian, for pointing out my offending spelling mistakes, now back to your OP.  To add substance and clarity to your notion could you please make those suggestions as to which sites should, in your opinion, in effect ban children and their accompanying adults from staying on or possibly, even visiting?

    In other words, stick to the point of the thread and stop demanding irrelevant information.
