Increase in Membership fees

Tell us about your MH, FB. What have you ordered 

 

We've ordered a Bailey Autograph 75-2 which has 2 travel seats and a fixed bed. We wanted a fixed bed because we didn't fancy making a bed each night.  The Bailey has everything else that we wanted such as a fully fitted kitchen with a large fridge - freezer. We went to the NEC show in October and were going to order a Caravan but backed off because the size of Van we wanted would have meant us buying a new tow car.    

What you say about the few extra pounds that membership costs against the cost of a MH is spot on and had put things into perspective for me.

I dont recall saying I would prefer the C&CC over the CC but I might have done.

The MH sounds good, FB.

You were certainly weighing up which club to join and seemed to favour C&CC because you appeared to dislike CC's booking system so much. You could, of course, join both as many of us do.

I believe you have a dog and you will find both clubs welcome our canine friends with open arms.

 Thanks TW.

We intend to head down to Cornwall as much as we can next season. Last year we spent a week just outside Padstow and we had the most fantastic week. The Beach at Padstow was lovely (however Rick Steins fish and chips were poor). We also intend to visit Anglesey as much as we can. Its about 2 hours from us and we love its tranquility. 

As for which club to join most of our friends have said the CC is better because their sites are a bit more structured and you know exactly what you're getting through the CC with consistency throughout their sites.

PS can anyone fix the spell checker on this site   

 Next time you're in the area, St Mawes has a nice Club site (and down the road there's an even nicer indepenent one) My point is that if jump on the ferry and cross to Falmouth, head for the best Chippy in Britain, the Harbour Lights!! (Other Chippy's are available BUT, they're not in the same league!)

Exeter Racecourse is a nice Club Site as well, worth membership fee in itself in our opinion. Like you, we changed to a MH a couple of years ago. Have only the one regret, we bought a Canadian Canoe just before we decided on MH, but it is proving just too high to take canoe with us. Ironically, we bought it off a couple who were selling it because they couldn't get it up onto their MH!  Got to have a bit of a rethink on this one!

You can get inflatable canoes. Decent quality ones look reasonably durable.

Maybe when you take the car as well you'll be able to take the canoe, TDA. It's a shame not to be out there paddling away although this end of the year may not be ideal.

We are members of both clubs and they both have their pros and cons. If you think you will have a decent number of nights out I would try both and see which you prefer. In general any increase at the new year is not enough to make most people join early.

Yes, we looked at a few CY. We did hope to take the dogs with us though, as we used to down in Cornwall, so we're a bit wary of claws puncturing.

Yes, that would be a bit of a let down!

A Dogs claws would need to be filed to a very sharp point to puncture the Sevvylors(spelling alert) I've used.

The CC  membership fees have not really increased by much. Have they ???
