David in planning terms there's no difference between member only and non member. Planning is about land uses.

Fair enough, It's obviously not planning as such, then, but there is something somewhere that stops the Club offering pitches to members exclusively.

It used to be that sites that took members only were normally owned by the club or was in the lease, whereas most leased sites had it as part of the lease that non members and tents were to be admitted,

I notice now on the signs at our local site (leased?)that the new "ice cream company) sign states no tent pitches available

According to all the "mission statements" it got "better?"

How does the song go "what difference a day makes"

Maybe that post topic should have read: The same Club, getting better... or perhaps The same Club, just might get better........soon

You will have agreed on signing up to abide by the community guide lines and these are quite clear on this topic.

"At times the staff may need to moderate the community and we ask that you respect the decisions made, as these are not open for debate"

I would interpret this to mean that however measured and reasonable the comments are, they should not be made.

Posted on 04/03/2017 16:08

I disagree with your interpretation of my previous comments. My previous post (on page 4) did not show any disrespect for the decision made and did not debate this decision.
I made statements of my own – albeit not in accordance with the claims made in the “closure notice” posted by Michelle.
I stand by my earlier post

On this we will clearly have to agree to disagree.

If the site is no longer accepting tents then either tents were not part of the original lease or the terms of the lease have somehow been re-negotiated, I guess. What is your local site? I could try and find out what has gone on.

On the subject of the new logo, love it or hate it, the Club have taken ideas from the original 1907 pennon to come up with this. The original pennon was 2 C's (one reversed) with a V intertwined in the middle. The new logo is 2 separated C's (one reversed) with an M in the middle and more modern looking. I thought it was quite a clever idea basing it on the 1907 pennon, but personally I would have made it a bit bigger. Unfortunately I don't have a separate photo of the original pennon - I found it on a National Motor Museum document. If I find a way of extracting it from the document I'll post it up.
