Rallies on Club Sites
Comments

I have no issues with rallies using Club Sites, and don't care what they pay. Lesson learned for us though. On the few occasions we choose to use a Club Site, which will be in the Winter, at the cheapest price, I will now phone the site a few days before
our booking commences and check what is happening on the site. We only use Club Sites at very quiet times, so it will prevent us arriving to find a site unexpectedly full. We value an empty site and few people around (ralliers or otherwise) very highly, just
our personal preference.Our thought too. Had we known that the rally was on we would not have booked and gone to a CL instead.

...but if the rally booked after you did, the only way youd know this is to (regularly) ring the site, check the website (only any good if this is updated) or rely on a rally diary that, no doubt might be subject to change.
and what whould be the course of action if a rally had booked (generally out of season, anyway)....?
....would you cancel your break at short notice, and try and find somewhere else?
We only booked the site a few days before going there, as we were on our way home from our latest trip. A Rally will have booked the site well in advance of that, probably at the start of the year, and will have organised their rally programme well before that, some time in the autumn of the previous year I would think. So there should be no problems with the dates being added to the sites' web pages, as happens with race days on sites at Race Courses.
Had we known it was on we would not have booked the site and gone to a CL instead.
PS we don't do short breaks

I dont understand why you think that a site should be nearly emply when you book. So can i take it if you know that a site has a lot of bookings then you wont book
Yes

Why sad, DT? We're each entitled to our preferences and shouldn't expect rude comments about them.

expecting to be sited on a nearly empty site, you have to realise that the pitches are there to be used
In early/mid March a near empty site isn't an unrealistic expectation and certainly doesn't warrant your remark.

1) You specifically implied it.
2) We're not talking about my ways.

It happened to us in early summer at Great Yarmouth, when I booked in we were told there is a rally over in the corner if you want to stay away from it best pitch over to X,Y,Z etc.....good advice and had no effect whatsoever with our stay, in fact we even
had some good entertainment during one lazy afternoon when a very drunk "lady" started a right old slanging match with more than one outfit....I won't name the centre involved0 -
so what do you want tin, a 116 pitch site not to take any bookings so that you can be on your own
You don't seem to have read my earlier post, tom. This isn't about me and I haven't expressed a preference. Neither have I been rude to another poster.

If you go back to the previous page and read carefully you will see and that will stop us going round in endless circles while you introduce red herrings.

It's not hard to find and I pointed it out to you at the time but you clearly cannot/will not see it so I will leave you to ponder your dubious words.

How sad
Is that clear enough?

A step too far, Davetommo.

i still cant understand the mentality of someone thinking that when they go on a site that it should be nearly empty, whatever time of the year
I have not seen anybody say that. All anyone has said it would be nice to know about a rally being on the site. As without a rally most sites are fairly quiet out of season midweek.

I thought it was the other way round, and that wishing for a quiet site (probably for a very valid reason) one would choose to go at a time when it was likely to be quiet.

Ralliers? Surely to bring say a party of 10 @ £15 is better(from the CC's perspective) than 1 @ £20. I have no issue with the practice of discounts or Ralliers.
