How does this Club compare with the ‘Other’?

I’ve started this discussion to try and collect together any direct comparisons between CC and C&CC.

One mentioned several times is that C&CC charge deposits with bookings, whereas CC does not. In that same discussion, it was mentioned that the C&CC membership was larger than CC’s, which surprised me. Can anyone provide the stats?

What other factual differences can be identified?

Having tried several searches I have come up with this link. I suspect the forum is not up and running yet.

Well it just looks the same as CT at the moment as all I'm getting is an ERROR message. YellPerhaps they're using the same IT guys as CC!! Undecided OR perhaps it's been infected by some of the CT posters?

BB -I think you are reading to much into it. The post you quoted was clearly hearsay. The subjects in question referred to as members. I don't know about you but I think I would have a better idea if friends were telling porkies than strangers. As to burning at the stake I'm pretty sure that was made illegal a few hundred years ago.

Why dont you ask 'fur ball' if he thought these people were liars?

i read his post in good faith, after all why should he (as well as these 'people') tell lies?

hence my comment to you (not MoulesyWink

I think you are over reacting somewhat. I am certainly not saying fur ball is telling lies, as you imply. Hearsay is simply that, hearsay. That is why it would not be accepted as evidence without further consideration.

Well that's strange as I've just got this message when trying to access Hard Standing Pitch Carge Post :- 

Sorry, an error occurred while processing your request.

"....... a very aggressive couple told us that they always used that pitch and their friends would use the one next door when they arrived.  I refused to move and the lady, using language that would have made a fish wife blush, told us that they booked every w/e during the season but cancelled if the weather was not going to be good.  We were spoiling their w/e ............"

I find it hard to decide which is more shocking: the fact that they booked every weekend and cancelled willy nilly or the fact that they expected "their" pitch to be available for them at all times.

If true this is in the realms of staggering arrogance, greed and self interest.

I am still not convinced about blockers though,. This is anecdotal and doesn't really prove that it is widespread. However, there's absolutely no doubt in my mind that many book in a casual manner without being certain that they will be able to make the dates they have chosen.

I expect we've all got some "story" about an encounter on a site. Do you want to hear mine....?! Tongue Out

Out of interest I've just logged on to the new C & CC forum after getting errors earlier on and it's now working. Don't think I'll be joining, this one is enough for me.Smile

The clubs computer should be able to pick up anyone block booking. Maybe an answer would be to limit bookings on any site to say four.

I'm using Chrome Nellie and for some reason the error messages have now cleared and the site is working. There isn't a lot on it.
