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.

Don't think so Corners..  The CMC is to most Caravanner's eyes still the "Caravan Club" (for towed caravans only.)

Motorhomes are apparently just tolerated so long as CC campsites don't have to be modernised in any way to accommodate them. Statics and cabins and lodges even less so.

Until the Towed caravans reduce in numbers, as they certainly will due to forthcoming restrictions on Towcars, the CMC will still bend over backwards to support the intransigent views of the diehard Caravanners first and foremost above all others.

cool

completely disagree, -1

As much as you want discord I suggest you go on a club site and see all types of units all happily getting along.

Remember, Corners, K isn't a member any more so may not realise that, at least nowadays, "towed caravan owners"  and motorhomers get along perfectly amicably on site. wink

So true, M. If there are any harrumphers on site, they keep their views to themselves. It tends to be on here that the adverse comments appear. Remember some of the vitriolic posts when the name change was announced? yell

I joined CC in 1970 and do not remember a time before trailer tents and motor caravans

Would you have preferred to tell a lie, that open warfare happens on club sites, the caravans make a static circle while the MH circle around?
