Thanks for pointing it out - though I came away thinking that CL owner is relying too much on theClub for his advertising, marketing and publicity. - and is complaining too much.about the Club. He could instead think how he would sell his site if he ran a “grown up” site outside the Club altogether. Lots of owners do that successfully.

Euror, I think you've missed the point entirely and this is about the AGM and responses from CAMC to questions from members.

Well, that was a read and a half!!! I can't quite make up my mind how the Club view member opinion. It seems they are determined to push their vision through whatever members think, no doubt with the hope we will get used to it. I appreciate that they were responding to individual questions but virtually every response was defensive. I did pick up that they are going to trial some form of metering on a couple of sites next year although as yet no detail. 

Has anyone seen the results of the voting as so many seemed to be using that facility this year to register a protest?

Your response to the.big question the booking system is how the club normally answer when they are on the back foot  try to gloss over the problem with no real answer

As for those questions you thought were answered as a positive to the question  could it be they were all old chestnuts that over  the years that they have been asked before  the answers have always been basically the same?

Of course, the answers are going to appear largely defensive. That's what happens when you're under attack! What did you expect? In fact, I thought they did a good bit of retaliation as well. 

I have not read some of the latter questions and answers on issues that are of little interest to me - such as dogs, sponsorship, the magazine, etc., but I read the responses on the big, controversial issues. Quite frankly, I thought all the answers fair and reasonable with the possible exception of the response on the integrity and functionality of the new booking website.

I thought this especially so on the questions of deposits and pricing and on matters such as arrival times, Crystal Palace, cleaning times, electricity and opening sites for motorhomes to drop their grey waste - with the resulting encouragement of wild camping.

I realise that, at least in the eyes of many who post in this place, such treachery, as being seen to accept and agree with the Club's hierarchy, will leave me vulnerable to all the vociferous critics; but I genuinely feel that much of the criticism levelled at the Club in recent months has been misplaced and, in many cases, unfounded.

Members can vote with their feet if they want to; I am very happy where I am.
