    Indeed it would, and as I put I don’t agree with it. However, if they were available to everyone, it would at least be a fair system. It wouldn’t help TTCA though, that can just be put down to lack of planning.

    The Difference at BHF is also very different with pitches in the ferry users area being vacated at unsociable hours

    Which problem are you trying to answer?  There are 78 Club sites across the network where you can book a full week starting today.

    The situation now is that there are even more LV users chasing not enough, at times, pitches

    It is not  very different as far as pitch use, with the growth in motor caravan use, many it seems are used as a replacement for a caravan, without towing

    If noted, even before more motor caravans became the must have item ,pitch use was basically the same with caravans , and off peak to fill pitches mid week discounts were introduced as noticed on sites that have them the influx of LVs on a Monday to leave after a few days 

    Then there are those who say that weekends a block booked that the club it seems can find no evidence

    Weekends are,   especially at school holiday periods. filled by Sat to Sat families  In the summer long distance travellers may well book a Friday night to break the journey, and a Saturday night on their return

    It would seem from this discourse that there is actually a need for an aire type setup which would be non-bookable for casual one-nighters.

    If the statements are true on another forum, we are in for changes to be announced or implemented next month. I imagine it will take a while for the impact of these to be assessed before any further changes could be considered.

    Would appear to be of merit with two individuals saying it will happen.

    And just how would that increase pitch availability on CMC sites. There seems some desire for aires but not a deal of commercial interest in providing

    I assume you refer to the Club in this context because it is happening  financed by private sources, crowd funding and the Scotish Government.

    Pitches being set aside for those using the ferry or tunnel is for a specific and sensible reason. I would not want to have separate areas for motorhomes and caravans on CMHC sites as I think that it would increase further the "us and them" type of animosity which some members already have and which has surfaced occasionally on this discussion group and in a number of reviews of some sites.

    Any Aire like (2 nights max) development on a CC site would presumably be usable by caravans,  as I assume it would have the 6 m habitation spacing, so room for a car alongside. However, it would take space away from standard pitches and overall favours motorhomes, as 1 / 2 night stays are more there sort of thing. In my opinion it would not therefore be a fair use of the clubs resources.
