Why do you have to own a mobile phone to join CC?

Very strange. What happens if you just put in any old combination of numbers starting 07...? 

type in any old numeric rubbish....cant have the computer saying no , can we....

of course ypu could ring and join over the phone (and tell them why...) but it wont change the system.....

I would not think it is compulsory, I expect if you entered an appropriate number of zeros, it would accept it, or 07 and appropriate zeros. It is however advisable, as it gives the club a way of contacting you when you are touring, about possible site problems.

Just put in eleven zeros 

Enter your home number twice if that is your only contact number

A similar thing happens when you haven't a land line, like us. Can't apply for certain things as not able to supply that number. Pain in the preverbial!!

Are you trolling?

Just wondered, 2 red stars, but still can't manage to join the Club...

The point of having a mobile number is so the Club can contact you whilst you are away from home in case of a problem with any of the sites you might be en route to. I suggest you phone the Club rather than try and do it online.

true, david, but not manadtory....neither is an email address (if not joining online)....

my wife is the lead member, she doesnt have a mobile phone....

I am a bone fide member of the “Grumpy Olde Men’s Club” My wife is a lifelong registered technophobe. I use my phone to speak to friends and business associates and do not want to clog it up with messages from people with time on their hands who want to sell me things (O2 excepted as they provide the phone service) and my wife will not have a mobile or a computer if you paid her to have one. I did think of entering my Son’s or my Daughter’s number, But, why should you have to (Gom Syndrome coming out again) My wife is ringing on Monday to sort it out. I assume all the phone staff go off caravanning on a week-end? That is why they are only available Monday to Friday in this 24/7 world. If they gave everyone their mobile numbers I could ring them on a weekend (Just a thought :-) ) I do not think for one minute that the club are going to throw away £48.00 plus over a £1000 in bookings over the year. (I will let you know)

Ref the two red stars I was a member for a number of years but put the van on site for a season last year and being a true Yorkshire man could not see any point in paying £48.00 for a service I did not need. We missed touring more than we thought we would and have decided to re- join. I thought (Like Pliers) it would be a case of pressing a couple of buttons on the lap top and off you go. As we GOM’s say “life is never that simple”. (What exactly is trolling I don’t know if I am doing it, as I don’t know what it is? I Know what trawling is if that helps?) On the subject of star’s it is nice to see Firedragon and Nelliethehooker are wearing their purple stars with pride and still supporting the cause.

And finally I am prepared to take my chances of a site shutting down in the time it takes from leaving one site and getting to the next, Just like I did before mobile phones where invented.

Maybe my next post should be “can anyone else remember when you used to go caravanning to get away from the telephone?” Before the mobile how many people went on holiday to Spain and thought “I must ring home and tell them I am doing nothing” and follow it up with a picture of their dinner on a post card like they do on Face Book.
