So the CMA (competition and markets authority) have said that if you have paid for a service that is not being provided you are entitled to a refund, come on caravan club, do the right thing.

I’ll pass on the refund, thanks.  In the great scheme of things and comparing what I’ve paid to purchase my m/h, tax and insurance, etc, and that is regardless of whether it’s sitting in my driveway or out travelling, the cost of my membership is still great value.  I’m happy to help keep funding the club’s facilities going so that they’re there to enjoy for our return.

You joined a club. That is not the same as paying for a service you are not receiving.

Tinwheeler, I joined "the club" to access the club sites, which I cant do, I wish my customers would pay me for a service I cant provide.

I know it is a relatively small amount, but the club, as far as I understand are legally bound to offer a refund, if you choose to not accept it that's your business. The camping and caravan club has extended membership by the length of time their sites are closed, which is fair enough.

I too watched MLMS. The Club could be forced to credit the membership for the time the sites were spent closed. Assuming reopening on the 4th July, 100 or so days. Personally not bothered for the sake of around £15 but it could happen regardless.

Absolutely appalled that people want refunds. It's 1 pound a week. You can't buy a sandwich for that. The majority of us want to support the club ,like other clubs that people attend .

I pay 41.00 for  WI membership ,wouldn't dream of asking for a refund as I want it still to be there when this is over. Same with the club the benefits we get are excellent. This is the first time I have written on discussions , but really believe the C MA could bankrupt a lot of companies with this rule and then there will be nowhere to stay.
