Membership query
Hi , we are new to the caravan club and are a little confused with how the membership works . So my in-laws are members and me and my wife have been added as additional members. Our membership cards have arrived so we have registered on the side and added our membership numbers but when I come to book a site it’s listing that we are non members ,can anyone help with this ?

Only the lead member can book a pitch.
As additional members must share the same address as the lead member, it shouldn’t be difficult for your in law to make the booking for you.

To be a reduced price "family member" as is usually printed on your membership card i would think your in laws are the full members, you need to be living at the same address to enjoy the club membership ,if not you need to be a full member in your own right with your OH

We don’t know that he isn't living at the same address, JV, hence my comment about how easy it will be to get the in law to make the booking.

Your membership card should show family member but with the same number as your in laws ,which is what the booking ref will show on site arrival printout ,so there should not be a problem ,just make sure it is the same reg on vehicle as on the booking as it may well be checked

It’s the issue of lead member login details that’s preventing you booking. Once your in law makes the booking, all should be well.

That’s not a problem we just couldn’t see why our logins wouldn’t let us book at a discounted rate.
one other question when I book a site for our Motorhome for 2 adults and a child under 1 yr old it is showing a price of £27.09 does this sound right ? We have selected the option that says pitch with 1 adult then added another adult =
pitch with 1 adult £14.69 +1 adult £12.40sorry about the basic questions we are completely new to this and just trying to understand the booking page process

You need to look at the prices listed for that particular site on the dates you booked in order to check. They’re listed on each site’s webpage and they do differ by site and date but it doesn’t sound far off the mark to me.
PS. No need to apologise. Happy to help 👍🏻

The way we always book
pitch
it then asks amount of adults ie 2
which should give the amount per night ,that will be the members price
a non member is £14 per night more but do not think they can book on line
If unsure ask your inlaws how they do it

It’s £12 per night extra for non-members and, yes, they can book online.

Brand new Motorhome we are going to be the first to use it next weekend so they don’t know either 🤣
It’s all good though I expect there to be a few things I get wrong but it’s like anything in life you live and learn .aslong as I remember 2 things, 1 don’t forget the baby and 2 don’t flatten the battery and we will be fine 😅

If next weekend is the first outing ,it seems it will be quite diferent to the normall booking in process as those arriving on the 4th July will get a call from club staff to take payment over the phone and a specific arrival time as it is the first time any sites will be open after the virus lockdown
Where are you going?
With the present situation it will also be a learning curve for the site staff , but if in dought do not be afraid to even from a distance ask

Don’t worry, you'll soon get the hang of it. The warden and fellow members will be willing to help if you get problems but in the current circumstances, may be not quite so forthcoming.
Don't, please, make the dreaded mistake of emptying your toilet cassette into the ordinary dirty water drain!
I suggest you download the pdf of the site map from the web page of your chosen site and familiarise yourself with the layout. Knowing where the facility block, the motorhome service point and the chemical disposal points are in advance may be useful.
Good luck!

All the best Doolan. Fingers crossed it all works out well. Do let us know how you get on with it all... it's sometimes useful for folk to read how folk get on..... it might jog their memory... Dont forget.. the wine, and wine glasses!! 😃😃🍷🍷

As you will not want the sleeping baby to be disturbed by noise, I would suggest avoiding areas near the facilities block and the dog walk.
