What changes would you make ?

Where space would allow it (a minimum area for each unit to be specified by the club) permit CLs to have 6 units rather than the current 5. This would give an immediate potential increase in business of 20% with little or no extra work or cost other than the provision of an extra EHU (where EHUs are already available). The extra one unit is hardly likely to 'blight' the area or cause traffic problems. This could help stop the decline of CLs and may even encourage new ones if they are then seen as being financially viable.

As  I  understand  it,  JohnM20,  increasing  the  number  of  pitches  per  CL or  CS is  not  within  the  power  of  either  Club.

As  far  as  the  OP  goes  I'm  quite  satisfied  with  the  present  state  of  the  Club,  so  No  Changes  For  Me  Please 

The limit of 5 vans is the law not just a club rule.  By all mean suggest that the club lobbies for the law to be changed. 

Then the opposite could also happen and the relevant clubs and organisations could have the right to licence 5 van sites taken away completely.  Personally, I'd leave well alone.

I think the matter of the number of units on a CL/CS could be investigated. I somehow doubt that the facility would be withdrawn just because someone asked the question? What would actually be useful to know is what are the Club's thoughts on this subject. They must be in contact with the relevant Government Department. When the current rules were formulated caravanning as a hobby was quite small scale compared to what it is now and motorhomes were very much a small minority. If CL's are to remain viable, especially with the demand for electrics and hardstandings a figure of around 10 units would make running a CL a far more attractive proposition. It's possible that a grand alliance of the Clubs and organisation who can certificate plus the NFU could form a strong lobby group if there was the will to do so.

Personally I've always liked the idea of the five van sites (with other club adding to the list.) I remember the days when touring caravans littered some of our coast lines, often in very beautiful areas, especially in the south west and there was no control over them at all. Static vans still do cover the coast in some areas and I would be sad to see the rules relaxed.

only one change.

get rid of the IT crowd and employ somebody who know what they are doing.

That sort of thing might work 'over there' but it's simply not British to have people who know what they are doing

Are you casting aspersions against the well beloved Committee members again, CS? (If so, carry on)
