    We each have our own reasons, JV. I said before I don’t agree with the positive age discrimination you suggest but you’re entitled to your view.

    I always liked club sites too but they aren’t worth the hassle of coping with the new booking system and nor are they worth suffering the frustration and disappointment I feel at what CAMC has become. We've seen the best of it, Rocky.

    I agree, it wiil need a big change of the way things have been going and seems into the future to get back what was a club rather than a "dash for cash company " run it seems as many companies that used to customer focused , now run by  accountants undecided

    I didn’t say it was a minority view, JV, only that it’s not my view.

    I have posted before why I do not think that your views represent the majority of the club membership.

    Off topic but actually the one we used was nearer and more convenient, we used the Crowne Plazza which is better placed for T3 and its meet and greet, not sure what the connection is between costs and flight duration though?

    However T&Cs of the club are what they are, and comparing an airport hotel to them is just an academic exercise with real no end result?

    Agreed. Lets not forget that its the minority who post here so the views expressed are not representative. Bustling sites suggest club support is strong

    I've emailed the club suggesting that they introduce a premium that covers members in the event that they need to cancel. Many hotels use this

    So you have no idea about the T&C of this commercial site but pass judgement on the club's? Ok.

    A third full in November, sounds good to me but again it's what the local sites are doing that really tells the story?

    You should name that site that is so good for people like yourself, after all if you're correct many on here will benefit?

    I can understand why that might result from price rises or dropping the MWD but I really fail to see why it should be due to the changes in t&c when, as far as I can see, the club's are far more lenient than comparable providers.

    I well remember the frequent posts we used to read proclaiming "better, cheaper" commercial sites, though they were very rarely actually named. Now it seems the same argument is being made about t&c - things must have changed a lot since we stopped because I can't remember a single commercial site we used (not many, admittedly) that didn't require a deposit and full payment in advance. 

    Care to name any? undecided

    And let's be clear in relation to some posters, the mid week discount did not apply to most club sites. 

    Also it was not there to help people financially to go to club sites.  It was there to entice people to use the less popular club sites during the week. It was never offered on the sites I've used maybe because they were popular enough already.

    Not sure of the large holiday park as unless a major. Problem wiil always go for our annual meet up with friends who belong to either this the ccc or no club so never have bothered to check 

    The other 20 Van site we have booked in  place of this clubs sites over this Christmas and New Year and in July 2023 as explained earlier is really customer service orientated

    They are both in Norfolkwink

    Yes good idea, I posted somewhere that when we use certain holiday lets the insurance is offered, on short stays it's done by the day.

    If I'm reading that correctly then you are saying it is a popular site?

    In which case it should not have the MWD otherwise the club is giving money away when it doesn't need to. It may be of course less less popular during the week as I stated.

    Are the views of any poster being member or not cannot be representative of others views especially if they have not spoken to the members on sites ,   who are usually of the silent majority,some have no idea the club has its own members CT website, but many it seems are now finding it,  with the amount of posts from members on the hundreds of pages of "comments" posted

    I though that I had made my point but  I will repeat it "I do not agree with your claim that you represent the the majority of club members". I understand that's your view but I just don't agree with it. And I hope you accept that is my view.

    But surely JVB if there are so many people as you say that these sites give consideration of the older generation with so much more customer service orientated why don't you mention them by name so that the can be used so many more reading them?

    Up to you but what's the harm is giving their names?

    If they are the silent majority how do you know their views? And majority? How many do you speak to?

    No idea of CT? how do they book by phone?

    I go to a lot of club sites and I rarely speak to anyone and never about club site prices. I must be missing out or look too grumpy to approach (rhetorical) but what I do see, time and time again, is lots of outfits.

    As someone said the hundreds of pages are shared between many of the same posters, they are not all individual.
