    PD how can anyone accept your post when what you posted was clearly inaccurate and incorrect. You posted the club is trialling Aires,

    I am not in a position of the letter so cannot comment further but perhaps the Club could clarify what is actually happening?

    But PD you are in possession of the letter, you yourself posted the document (Q&A from members) I am quoting from in another thread. In any case to quote your self:

    very disappointing that some members find it so difficult to accept others postings without continually questioning them

    If you look at the attached photo you will see the club's latest statement and what is actually happening but I'll reprint it here as well. 

    For many years we have been conducting member insight surveys to understand the differing needs of all our members and how we may address the needs of differing segments within the membership. At the beginning of this year we commenced an exploration as to whether this is something we could viably offer. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, this project is currently temporarily suspended, however it is planned to re-initiate in 2021. This remains a complex area as local authorities provide this service in Europe but there is no statutory system or obligation for authorities to cater for tourism in the U.K. and many local authorities do not have the available capital. In the U.K. our Certificated Location licensing system can be used for this and we are constantly looking to develop the number of CLs within our network. However, it is highly likely there would be modest charges for these as they are privately owned and operated.

    Well they were not true. You said the club was trialling Aires. That is not true as official documents show.

    PD, take a step back and look at what you posted. I'm not going to continue this as it's evident reality is going out of the window.

    Another site with hard standings isolated from the road system is Old Hartley.  I surmise that when these sites were established a long time ago a hard standing was seen as a way to avoid problems with the grass being continually underneath parked trailer caravans. In those times motorised caravans were not permitted and therefore there was no requirement for providing convenient parking. Perhaps times will continue to change?

    So they do, QED

    It says ".....were in the process of putting together a trial...". That is not a trial in progress or a QED situation at all.
