Question!!! Why and Who made the decision to install static accommodation units on Club site's.Surely these sites are provided for members who take to the road in their own funded vehicles,why are we now being asked to fund the life style of these "Static Dwellers".Are these Static Units really for the use of friends and family? If so why is their a 10percent discount for members.No they will be rented out to people who have not the slightest interest in our way of life.If friends or family want to experience caravaning and motorhoming their is always the opportunity to hire.I would be pleased to be enlightened on what the perceived benifits are to the caravan and motorhome club member A further point is that the number of pitches available to members will be reduced this is especially important at peek periods.A large area at Coniston Park Coppice has been allocated to these Static Units complete with their veranda decking.We members are funding this cost and will not derive any benifit.It is time to stop this Insidious Development.

Thank you Janet. I am assuming you are a member of staff, in the know.

Well guessed, I'm the General Manager here. The 10 new Pods we are receiving soon have been upgraded from the ones we had last year.

We are hoping they will be available from early July.

I hardly use a mike and wondered if the beans being in skins might explode, do you drop a cover on?

That's great to know Janet. Big thumbs up, our friends were very impressed with their stay in one of the glamping pods, so much so, family put together to buy them more time away in one later in the year. I am seriously considering one for a short break with my sister, but wasn't sure when the new development at Coniston Park was due to open. I will now keep a check out for updates. Great to hear things direct from those very much in the know, I think they are a great asset and give more choice. Not sure if my OH would be happy sleeping in MH with dogs while I lived it up in a pod, but I might just have to bend his arm a little.......

Oh ET, that is so funny. Rest assured, they don't explode, might hop about a bit if boiled too long, and if you left them in tin, your whole van might go bang! You can get dedicated microwave pans, with lids, failing that, a none metal bowl with cling film (pierced) works just as well!

No problem, please keep an eye on our Park Coppice website via the main CAMC site and we will post updates on availability as soon as we can.

I have used a microwave as such about 3 times in the last 12 months. Twice to scramble eggs and once to thaw meat. I wasn't sure if bits of bean might fly about and would have dropped a cover on

It’s great to get some staff input, Janet. Thanks for that. We'll cancel the campers' kitchen then.

Perhaps you can get Ro to fix you up with a Staff banner on your avatar. 👍🏻
