Not moving with the times

I think that's generalising too far JVB. Even in those pre internet and TV days, the very popular Hi de Hi style holiday would have been my worse nightmare. I think in all times / generations folk will spend their leisure time in lots of different ways. Perhaps just sitting reading a good book.

I can cope with any confusion about the length of minimum stay and clunky technology etc, but I don’t like to pay more than necessary. Example: CMC Malvern Hills & CCC Blackmore. More-or-less identical sites next door to each other. 7 Sept for 2 nights, CMC £51.40, CCC £38.20. Why pay more? I’m currently putting together an itinerary for a 30 day trip, on that basis I could save a load of money

Well it's not compulsory. You can just 'find out' at the end as you have described happens. As I said, I use C&CC sites more than CAMC sites and so I know which sites have restrictions.

But what the heck. it's a trend on here for some to find nothing good about the C&CC whatsoever. I like the C&CC.

Quoting peedee above:

"It still thinks one size fits all and charges accordingly. As a result, for those not requiring full fat facilities they are expensive for many especially for short stays which is an increasing requirement due to the growth in motorhome ownership…… The pricing structure needs to change to make short stays more viable I …. would look into the introduction of a tariff for “Quick Stops” for motorhomes."

Agree absolutely. When the Club's  name changed I thought that motorhomers would be catered for in the way many of us like to tour. Being able to arrive and not have to "book in", but have some kind of prearranged payment or  barrier card affair, allowing us to arrive later would be a start - the kind of Quick Stop (to use peedee's phrase) touring we enjoy elsewhere.
