Family Membership - question

The Club website states:  "You can include a joint member to your membership free of charge. Additional family members can be added for £8 each."
https://www.caravanclub.co.uk/faqs/membership#joining

I was under the impression that the above only applies to family members sharing a single outfit (caravan / motorhome), and that they use the same address. 

Is this the case, or could (distant) family members pay the extra £8 (same membership number but different names on the cards), have different outfits and live at different addresses (albeit using one correspondence address and share one magazine / Sites Directory)?

So long as a Member, ie lead, joint or family, is staying on site they can have anybody stay with them.

So what is the position if the sole member goes off to, say, Tesco for supplies leaving three non-members on site?

Or the sole member goes off on a day trip leaving some of the others?

Then it is the responsibility of the member to ensure they are all chained up  before leaving the sitesurprised

Would that be on maximum of 3m length chains?

Yes I think we were treated quite badly even though I phoned the club who confirmed what the warden had said. The warden had even suggested B&B for our daughter!!

I would really like Tracy to confirm this once more as per the club site rules (I can't find a link to the site rules regarding member only sites.)

As I now understand it we can take a guest with us on to a members only site and pay the non member fee.

I wonder if this has now helped the OP?

No, you are a member, you are paying the members pitch fee, and the fee per head. The non member fee is a pitch fee, not a per head fee, so your guests are charged at the same rate as you.

As K says. You go onto a club site with a guest and you pay members rates. It is that simple.
