Deliveries to site from supermarkets

not sure about that, would the really club ban one particular supermarket? On that site or all? Bit unfair if some Asda (other brands are available) speeds in the south get all banned?

No, we had those! Short wheel base Jeep Wrangler. Dogs in back, saddle bags hanging from sides of internal roll cage, web slung from roof for coats, boots under back in spare wheel locker, room for half a sack of pooch food, and a few bits of food for us. Rucksack with valuables, iPads hanging on back of seat! All we need for a cottage, but piling in bags of food for a week makes it uncomfortable! We are starting to wonder if a long wheel base might be better!

We used to Nevers, but for a big shop, three weeks worth of basics, topped up with fresh stuff locally. But we shop differently now we are not working any more. Plus Tesco opened a new store very close to us, so we pop in more frequently now, but useca lot more places as well.

Having consulted the boss, she tells me that, although we do shop quite a bit on the internet, and often buy our Tassimo discs that way, she would not contemplate having fresh food delivered. She prefers to see before she buys, and enjoys shopping at different stores every so often.
A friend has a weekly delivery from Sainsburys, she often complains about short dated items and substitutes.
Our son and his wife apparently hate shopping, they have Mr Tesco deliveries every Sunday. They do live out in the sticks, but his wife works in town so could shop on the way home.
They seem to have pretty much the same things delivered every week, with some special offers added now and again, our son is the one who does the ordering as he also does most of the cooking.
I think that unless you do order pretty much the same every week, it would take as long to decide what to order as to visit the shop, certainly for us it would.

Yes, of course the club "could" make changes in the future although quite how that's possible given the spacing and layout of many of its relatively ageing sites is a matter of conjecture. For all I know, some of the more recently opened and upgraded sites may have been designed with that in mind. But we are discussing what's possible at the present time aren't we? I can't see many of the older club sites like Cirencester or Cheddar to name but two having their approaches changed significantly to allow for frequent arrivals of delivery vans.

With all the "great" ideas of how those who seem to want to stay on a club site all day and have all their food etc delivered to their pitch,and some who use the "far superior?"it seems other organisations,can they please advise us "older"cc site users,how they "manage" what is expected of this club

If this idea does get the go-ahead, there will be no pressure on site staff as members who will use this service will be expected to greet the delivery van at the reception. No delivery vans will be on allowed onto site and site staff will refuse to take the delivery if the members are not there to meet the driver........

I'm not a man of business, but I assume Toys r Us had problems because people were not buying stuff from them? That's how shops work I believe?
But (and I suppose this must come a a great shock and disappointment to the anti club element on here) club sites are full and popular, they have been full and popular since I joined back in 1999, and while looking at booking some sites these past few days they are full an popular throughout this year and summer. Club sites seem to be doing quite, if not more than alright. If club sites were empty then yes the club would be doing something wrong.
Then the younger generation or 'new breed' aspect, now I've found since using more sites in and out of school holidays, yes the 'older breed' use them in term time, but the 'new' breed' are already there in school holidays, this much is evident, if of course you actually use club sites to begin with in peak and speak from experience rather than conjecture. There are young couples and young families, and certainly younger than us starting out 19 years ago. Sites in school holidays are full with them, the club doesn't need to attract them with new ideas. Also parents want a safe environment for their children, not extra un-necessary vehicles on site .
People, of all ages but maybe those with young families use home delivery to free up time during working weeks. Oh holiday this isn't necessary?

So let's cut to the chase - is anyone seriously suggesting there are young, busy families out there who might be thinking "we'd love to take the ids to a CAMC site for our holidays - oh, hang on, we can't get Tesco to bring us our shopping. Best look elsewhere"? Really?

I don't require the service, Easy, but I've no problem with it operating for others to take advantage of.
Mark has given an idea of the way it could work which sounds the same as when it operated some years ago. I can't see a problem with that.

Off Topic: I had an e-mail from the C&CC today that surprised me. 20% off age discount for stays between 3rd June 2018 and 30th September 2018, high season only.
Normally 10% age discount outside high season

I have just realised how anti social we are! We have four vehicles in total, and all are two seats only, although we do have a comfy seat we can put back in Jeep, but then there is no dog room! My 89 year old Mum takes great pride in being able to still scramble up into passenger seat when I take her out. OH took her off roading once as well, she loved it!
(Apologies for digressing)

I've got a 2 for 1 offer from C&CC. Great stuff, eh? All I had to do was to buy a new MH to get it.
Err, definitely nothing to do with supermarket deliveries.
