Hello all, can anybody enlighten me as to why 'The Club' are showing sites full yet pitches are available to non club members? I've heard of this before and dismissed it but it has arisen yet again. Thanks.

Searching term for dogs, yes I mean dogs allowed.

By that just one sentence shows you know nothing about club sites.

"Also CL's are not owned by the club. " Yes but none of the sites on commercial booking platforms are owned by the company running the website, they still manage to give live accurate booking for hundreds of sites, for detailed searches, immediately, with paperless, cashless, cardless, payment.This is the way of the world.

again you show no understanding at all of the club and CLs. They are small 5 van sites often run as a second string, or even a shoestring. They are not large organisations and cannot/may not/ not want to have their booking system so far advanced and aligned to the club's. many rely on telephone or email booking only and only take cash or, wait for it - cheques in the post.

Learn what the club is about before making such suggestions and criticisms?

When I rented out my apartment in Spain, I used a manual booking process and cheques. I could have linked up to a website that managed the process online including payment but the proportion of the rental price demanded made it prohibitive. I expect CLs would be a similar scenario.

Yes Cyber. There are a number of reasons why the CLs' bookings being run on CCs platform is both impractical and probably unwanted by many owners.

I can’t help thinking that a country where the majority are spoon fed via a few online clicks is a country heading for meltdown. The old maxim of use it or lose it applies to cognitive function as well..............
