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.

It could even bring me back to using Club sites rather than CLs when our friends and family who are none caravaners want to come away with us. Not everyone can afford/ has the storage/time etc to follow our hobby but occasionally wants to holiday with us.

Now that I am a grumpy intolerant old woman I like my own accommodation and don't want to share a house etc with them although I want to share my holidays.

I really must update my photo to one that shows the real me and not ten years or so out of date

Absolutely agree Longtimecaravanner - but not about the grumpy old woman bit... 😀😀 Although we have not used the 'alternative form of accommodation, I also like the idea about having family members share the holiday without sharing the caravan! ☺☺

I have seen a few like this around and about, but I think the Club is a bit too risk averse, and some of the Club members perhaps too arthritic.

Yet another thread which just goes to show what a diverse group we are. Even with our similarities there are many different opinions, needs, desires etc being held by fellow members. Also those differences between the club's way of working and the other providers can be viewed in different ways too. In my opinion long live those differences as they provide options, alternatives and choices but long live that tolerance of others also which is so crucial to the harmonious enjoyment of our much loved commonly held pastime.

Absolutely Micky. One of the difficulties is trying to please everyone.

Using a non-CAMC site? Really?

I have used some non-CC sites that did require a degree of fortitude
