As all sites and CC approved sites have been suspended for 3 months (30th June) are we to expect the CMHC to suspend all memberships for 3 months.? My membership is due in July so I'm a bit loathed to not be able to use it and go anywhere only to be hit with a renewal as the suspension is lifted.

I am not a member but use the forum, my answer is no I don’t think I or others should contribute. We take nothing out of the kitty ergo we should not be expected to put anything back in.

PS-I am hoping in the future the C&MC open all the sites to tents then I will happily rejoin without a second thought. I enjoyed using all the sites without issue.

It shouldn’t be really AD, I’ve mentioned it before, every time there’s a thread on tents/tenting I’m always supporting the opening up of the sites to bring in more revenue👍🏻

But we are not talking about providing a core service are we

Yes we are. The core service of the CMC is to provide sites for members and that is something that they are unable to do. What did you consider their primary function??

One of our site staff friends ,advised a couple of years back that they had been told (after a spat with their RM) that the core buisiness of the club was Travel and Insurances , and that the sites network was not making a profit, but was there with a pool of members for the other parts of the club buisiness

The core business of the club are its members and retaining their support and patronage since without them there is no club. Without the sites there would be no members; after all we are talking CMC not Costco where people pay an annual sub in order to buy various products

That just what is said, its "the members" and without being a member the discounts and other services would not be available just like costco

I have a number of annual payments that I cannot use at the moment, NTS HS, WWT, Beamish Museum, NYMR and other various railway preservation societies and my annual over there insurance, but none of them have said they will give a refund or an extra three months. The club isn't the only one to do this.

If that were true and I have idea whether it is or not, I have at times been probably one of the biggest contributors to the CAMC. At times over the years I have had; car, caravan, house and travel insurance plus two ferries a year with them. I have cut back on the insurances due T&C changes but when we were taking the lot it would have been approaching £3k a year.

I used all these products not out of a blinkered loyalty to a travel company but because they were tailored to suit our lifestyle and not always easy to find elsewhere.

Worth the annual subs then ,not available otherwise
