Club Pop-up Campsites are returning in 2023

The Club seems to have an aversion to NON-EHU!

Even ClubFest is all EHU pitches and one price fits all and you WILL pay towards the entertainment whether you want it or not!

Now they are proposing losing the non-EHU pitches at Steamer Quay.

Yes you've mentioned this before but it really doesn't stand up, if you aren't particularly hungry then you don't go in to a restaurant that sells a four course set meal, or maybe you personally do? You go to a sandwich shop? You're making it sound as if club sites are the only choices?

You keep posting these types of posts CY yet have stated that you won't be using a club site even if a non EHU option is offered, yes you can state your point of view but it's so often with this type of post so I'm wondering who these posts are aimed at or what you're hoping to achieve? 

The club isn't going to offer what you want anytime soon, so why not accept it and move on? You've said that the CCC is more MH orientated so use them, there's usually a CCC site near to a club site?

Really, you see what? And what an amazing statement? When it suits me?

So by the same logic it's not inclusive when it doesn't suit you then?

But when, and please quote me here, did I say it was anything to do with me in my post above?

Am I the only member of the club? Am I the only one that uses club sites? Am I forcing anyone to join the club and then pay to use its sites as they are? But hundreds of thousands do?

Am I the one who keeps asking for change just because it doesn't suit me in the way, it must be said, that you often do with metering? Why not just choose sites that have what you want. You often post there are cheaper and better sites (and whether not I agree with that is beside the point - you believe it) out there so why not use them?

The club is totally inclusive of anyone who wishes to pay to either join it or use its sites. You appear to make out someone who has paid is being left out? In which case why did they join, rejion, and continue to use club sites? As in fact you do.

If the club doesn't offer what you want, as in all things in life and business, then one goes elsewhere. As you said yesterday - move on. 

Not sure there is any comparison or muddled thinking. Pop Up sites are open for a few weeks in the middle of summer when, hopefully, you should experience better weather. Club sites are usually open for a minimum of six months and usually 10/12 months where you are likely to need a more durable surface. Many of us have been telling the club for years now that we wanted to be able to book a hardstanding pitch rather than take pot luck and thankfully they have listened and acted.

I think this is the wrong thread YT? But to answer your points which I think (perhaps wrongly so apologies if so) applies to the SQ site as you posted about the club losing interesting sites there before. 

Is there a determination to iron out all the 'interesting foibles' (character) of some sites? And what has this to do with pop up sites?

Is that a true fact, or just your opinions there YT? And where is the evidence for that? And who gets to decide which sites have 'interesting foibles' (character)? It indeed may be interesting to you but not for others? 

And all such sites? ...a grass pitch to be still an option and not eradicated completely from all club sites.

I think that's rather an amazing statement based on just one site that has to change in order to be an all year round site and I recall fully supported by the local council. 

Perhaps who knows the club actually looks at the data from those who actually use club sites rather than just have an interest in the subject and note certain patterns that appears to mirror what has been posted on here, that grass pitches go last, are useless for an all year round site and SP are in great demand?

 Apologies if off topic.
