Late Availability & Discount August 2017 Bank Holiday Pitch Fees in South Cheshire...
Whilst our holiday cottage is again full, we presently have the odd situation whereby ALL our CL pitches are available over August Bank Holiday during the local Farmers Market and nearby Balloon Festival!!!
The site is level lawned grass with a wide double access gate and stunning views of the surrounding Cheshire countryside. We are located a short walk from the quaint and historic village of Wrenbury on the Llangollen canal and only 4 miles from the nearby market town of Nantwich. The site is ideal for relaxing breaks away but still being close enough to walk to the village shop and our local award winning pubs.
For our official details please check our CAMC CL Listing (CAMC Pinsley Corner Farm)
Or for more details, check availability, book online and read our reviews, please visit our website Pinsley Corner Farm
Given this odd situation “Like” & “Share” our Facebook page at Pinsley Corner Farm Facebook to not only keep up to date with what is going on in the area but also reduce your pitch price from £14/night to only £12.50/night for the August 2017 Bank Holiday weekend!!!
Thanks for looking and we look forward to hearing from you soon,
Oly & Sarah

Hello. I'm posting this on behalf of another CL owner who doesn't 'do' technology
Frenton Farm, St Austell, Cornwall has availability over the Bank Holiday weekend and in September. From the photos on the listing this looks like a beautiful site and it has plenty of positive reviews. Take a look if you're thinking of getting away soon!

Hi Nellie - Yes, you raise an interesting point. Late Cancellations, No Shows and Early Departures were cited as the Number One issue in the 2015 survey of CL Owners.
Unfortunately it seems that at the moment the Club doesn't wish to devote its own resources to helping CL's with this issue (citing internal resources, other priorities & data protection issues), so we have started to assess the scale of the issue amongst ourselves.
FYI Over the past 21 days (August 2017), 37 different CL's have reported losing income on a total of 413 nights.
We are of course collecting more info than simply the nights lost (but we are mindful of Data Protection Issues), we will choose whether we wish to disclose this in due course.
We will be collecting this data over coming months, and I plan to present it at the AGM in October. Perhaps you'd care to join me there:)

CG, glad to see that you ( CL owners) are doing your own thing to try and discover if it's the same culprits. I'm not at all surprised that those at HO are ducking the issue, as they don't appear to offer a lot of support to yourselves. I'm sorry but I will not be at the AGM....I'll be away again staying on a CL, hopefully. I will be interested to hear what those at the Top Table have to say about your research findings.
I knew that there had been a lot of cancellations but didn't expect it to be as many as that. Truly disgraceful. I wonder how many cancellations that there has been on all the Club sites. It's no wonder that even when a site is showing full there are vacant pitches.

It is significant that CL's can get together and produce late cancellation data yet the CAMC seem singularly reluctant to do so.

Hi, I am new to the Motorhome and Caravan Club this year - having had a 15 year break from Caravans, we have this year purchased a nearly new van and we are really enjoying our weekends at the local CL sites - they are peaceful / clean and the owners are very accomadating.
However we were booked onto a site a few weeks ago and our dog was ill leading up to the weekend on the morning of our booked arrival he was still ill, with the situation as it was i phoned the site and cancelled, but offered to pay for the weekend charge, i was told there was no need but i would have to be sent an email confirming that i had cancelled my booking and this would be noted for future reference and any future cancellations
I am not sure how you define the regular culprits from the genuine
I must admit that 413 lost days of revenue is alarming

Us too - it's one we've always wanted to try but the rules of minimum stay have always put us off.
In addition, there are a lot of extra charges here and there.

Cyberyacht, yes a growing number of CL's are now in communication with each other. We have an informal group of 350+ CL's and around 100 are 'active' within the group, in the sense that we are in regular contact to share tips and best practice.
Some CL's report that they rarely experience any cancellations, whilst others have had significant issues.
Of course we all have situation s due to breakdown, illness etc. that prevent a holiday from taking place, or being cut short, but it seems that in some cases Members have simply forgotten their booking, or turned up somewhere else.
Hence, many CL's are now moving to a Deposit system. This increases their costs, but does assist them to protect their income stream. A cancelled booking is 20% of their potential revenue. A much bigger impact than at a Club site.
Time will tell (with evidence from the data-gathering) how big an issue this is, but I have been surprised by the number of nights lost and the income lost from these late cancellations (less than a week's notice)..

Wow Maddie you have a staff banner 😃.
When you add on behalf of a CL can you please include a link to their site? It is soooo difficult to search on this new website for CL'S as has been reported often on various threads 😉 over the 8 months it's been up and running 😉

She did include a link Bakers. It is so hard to see though. If Bold and Underlined it shows far better.
Have this one on me! Foothills CL

As somebody (as I remarked before) that has visual problems I wonder why the staff cannot make their links stand out. All it takes is to highlight them and click on CTRL + B and then CTRL + U.
When I used to prepare consultation material as a small part of my work I was acutely aware that not all had perfect vision. Not a criticism of Maddie as such but of all such posts and particularly by staff.

Yet another CL that's had a cancellation, it's becoming an epidemic!!
We would perhaps stayed on our next trip, Claire, but as we travel with our dog we'll have to give you a miss.

Adults only and no dogs. I keep trying to seek these cl's out. Will definitely put you on my list.
Claire, just a suggestion. On the club web site under "Find a CL" there is a pictogram chart for people to filter there requests. This is quite a useful tool but it does not mention if a particular cl favours No Dogs. Hence my first sentence would be made easier. There must be lots of members like me who would tick that appropriate box. Obviously another glitch on the club web site. A word from a CL owner may be a good prompt.
