Uttoxeter Closure
Just had our booking cancelled at this site, luckily found somewhere else. Staff shortages have brought about an early closure. The details are on the site page. Sad to see sites struggling to find staff.

Evening
They've long gone jv.
When we get back from "over there" in November we will be helping out where we can. There's just not enough staff available at present.

JVB, as I said our booking is not immediate, I'm not going to say when it is but it's far enough ahead to have nothing to do with your suggestions.
Thanks Moulesy for the CL suggestion, I booked another CAMC site which was really too far away from the original (to visit friends) so I've now booked a non CAMC site, £9 cheaper. I feel sorry for those who have to make even swifter arrangements.

Alderstead Heath and Gatwick are two other sites citing staff shortages for a reason for closure. I looked at these two sites almost a week ago for December and they were showing full then, obviously decision already taken and reason only just made public today.

I had a missed call from the club. There was no reason given on my cancellation email, it was suggested I download Adobe to find out more. I decided to check the site details as at that point I wondered if something had gone wrong with the booking system. I would have preferred to have had some sort of indication in the actual e mail.
I'm sorry to read of further closures.

Why are staff shortages so prolific? Nurses, doctors, HGV drivers, hospitality staff... Has everyone suddenly retired. Apparently job vacancies now top a million. Doubtless we are still shelling out loads of "jobseekers allowance".

CY, I'm no economist either but as we have loads of vacancies, why can't businesses get staff....
I (incorrectly?) thought unemployed folk might be keen/interested/desperate (delete as appropriate) to find something with all the bills set to sky rocket.
perhaps the 'benefits' of one outweigh the other?
if the incentive to go to work is so minimal over not bothering.....
...and why can only foreign folk pick fruit, fgs??
beats me.

A few years ago ,there was a bit on Anglia news about this area and complaints from the "unemployed" in Peterborough that Eastern Europeans were taking jobs that should be done by them
Anglia TV and a large agricultural employer tried to get some staff from this area, ,I think they got very few takers ,as the majority would not take up the work as it was "hard work for little money over their benefits"

As for this club ,from quite a few conversations with those were "site support" (relief staff) many have now retired, for various reasons but it seems, from conversations that a new (last year )director has been making waves and still is causing problems amongst site staff
