How does this Club compare with the ‘Other’?

I think the CCC is great for tent camping but I think the Caravan Club caters better for caravanners.

as a MHer, i couldnt say how well (or badly) either club serves tenters or caravanners.

personally, we are generally served eqally well by both...though each have elements that could be improved by studying the other...

" ...so, in effect, an extra day.....weather still wonderful (after the rest of the week).....should we stay another day....? "

With such glorious weather I'd stay an extra day as there's no need to pay for EHU.

(You are on a non-EHU pitch I take it?! )

please, take what you wish....

members can stay late whichever pitch they are on, and some have done so...

flexibility is not pitch type dependant....

Do I take it then, by the way you swerved the question, that you were on an EHU pitch, even though you had the option of non EHU? Nothing wrong with that, mind, it's exactly what I would do!

as you've asked twice (so are obviously 'keen' to make your point) I'll give you a straight answer ......

i was on a HS EHU pitch, for two reasons.....

one....all the HS pitches on site are EHU....its been very wet and the grass pitches are closed.

two...being an advocate for choice, I'd choose EHU at this time of year, shorter hours of sunshine refreshing batteries and higher demand due to longer hours of dark, cold and TV....

for a couple of days, in winter, no problem but we were on site for a week.....

now, a 6A supply just to keep the batteries up would have done the job...a good winter compromise....

in summer....a different scenario again.....hence the desire to be able to choose a best fit...

Thanks for making that clear BB.

So you expect the CC to provide non EHU pitches just for a small number of customers, just during summer months then? Hardly seems worth all the palaver when there are so many alternatives already out there already does it?

lets not cross over into the 'electric' thread here....everything on this subject is being said there, especially the fact that ot  isnt really a palaver at all, only to those who dont see the point...

That is one real difference between the two main Clubs actually, both allow camping, but on the CC sites where camping is allowed, the camping area has always been a very long way from the facility blocks! (Leyburn, Wincanton, Tredegar House, as examples) Makes for a very interesting dash unless you have your own facilities in a toilet tent!

Hate to disagree with you tda, but at least at the CC's Morvich site the camping area is just across the road from the toilet block, and much nearer than most of the H/S pitches.

That then is good news Nellie! Not a site we know. I should have put "CC sites we have used" not inferred that all were like this!

 especially the fact that ot  isnt really a palaver at all, only to those who dont see the point...

What a shame we don't all have your splendid insight BB.....

not insight, Brian....'sight'....I've 'seen' it in action on other sites.

Well spotted BB.......

Another point about the comparison between the CC and the C&CC which has not been mentioned is how they deal with obvious poor parts of the business.  

Take their forums for example.  

 The C&CC reailised that their forum was poor and unfit for purpose and out of respect for their members they took the forum down and it will not be made available until they are satisfied that the members using the forum will have a forum which works properly.

The CC however took a different approach and have done nothing for years about their poor and unfit for purpose forum.

Which organisation has the best attitude towards their members regarding their forum.  ???
