    Most of the children you see on site are staying with grandparents apart from 6 weeks in the summer when you see the occasional family group. This club is more or less adult only most of the year  

    If the club decided to make some sites AO I would leave.  I pay the same fee as everyone else and expect to be able to access every site the club has under its control. We joined this club because I got sick of finding the perfect site only to find it was AO or had a no commercial vehicles rule.  

    I think we all know that you don't like the way the club develops their sites.  To some extent I don't either but knowing that I can book a club site without having to ring up first to check their AO policy or whether they'll let us on with a pick up far outweighs any niggles for me  

    Better owned by the club than closed completely or turned over to glamping in my view

    That is why the majority of senior citizens tend to arrive on a Sunday or Monday for mid week discounts where available and leave as said so often on here leave the pitches at weekend's for working familieswink

    Maybe it’s more a state of mind than physical age. Some act as SCs way before they draw their pensions whereas some stay young at heart all their days.

    As it just so happens, brue, we stopped on a CL in that area last year and saw all of those views, although the sea was a lot rougher when we were at Hive Beach. We did find that although we like the area we found it much too busy carwise for our liking.

    I would imagine they don't enter their sites for such competitions as it irrelevant because they are not competing in the same way as a commercial site where there might be a commercial advantage in receiving such a reward.

    We booked this site over a year ago for this coming half term holidays. Was going to be our second visit. Lovely quiet adult only site (well it was) For us, that’s now ruined, and we have cancelled our break. What was awful is that they have not told people either, I only found out by chance as I rang to pay the balance and was told that the CC had taken over so payment not needed until arrival now. And I had to ask about it being adult only, they tried to take the attitude that it didn’t matter. They tried to tell me it was the same as before - how can it be? It will totally ruin the feel of the site. Very sad.....

    The previous owners clearly decided to sell up for whatever reason. There was no guarantee whoever purchased it would maintain it as an adults only site. The only difference with the CMC buying it is that we all get the opportunity to discuss it? You can't blame the CMC.

    No doubt, away from the main school holidays it will remain a peaceful site mostly used by adults as most sites are whether CAMC owned or other. smile

     I suspect that most familes going away at half term would have already booked sites and made plans before the announcement of change of ownership. I doubt therefore that you really gained anything by cancelling

    I tend to agree ET. Looks fairly full for the BH Saturday and Sunday.  Probably with those that had already booked.

    It looks like a nice site in an interesting area, but at those prices is well beyond our budget.

    The way things are going, we will soon be joining those who only stay members for the CLs, ferry bookings and insurance.
