You may have to increased the magnification of your screen to see the photo, but this is the advert which appeared on Facebook on Black Friday - but doesn't seem to reflect the normal image of Caravan Club members............ nor do the outfits shown appear to be sticking to 'the rules'.

Once again a suggested page on my fb appeared, so out of interest I clicked on Club page.

Question, who would you like to pitch beside? Copied and pasted from fb site

Who do you want by your side on your next adventure? Add a comment and tag the friend you’d love to pitch up next to. Recommend a friend to join the Club and they will receive a Site Night Voucher when they sign up. Members receive a £10 gift voucher for every friend they refer. Learn more: https://goo.gl/s9fznK

Is this not false advertising?  It is certainly giving the wrong impression.  This club operates on a first come, first pick of unoccupied pitches - rightly or wrongly that's how it is.  So how can it be suggested that you pitch next to a friend???  This may be possible given all the stars are in alignment, there's an R in the month etc.  BUT it is not a given.  Unlike with the friendly club where you can request this, and if possible - we have managed this several times smile This club does not even allow the request for any sort of a pitch let alone a couple together.  VERY MISLEADING
 
 Maybe someone could report my post and we could have an official comment about these matters it on this thread?

Hi Bakers2,

Thanks for your feedback. We are sorry if you found this misleading and your feedback has been noted. As you mentioned, you can't pre-book pitches, they are allocation on arrival, however when you speak to the warden on the site they will let you know what pitches are available and if there are any together. Also if you book a CL Site you can speak to the owner to see if they will reserve 2 pitches together.

Thank you for your response Rowena. Will the FB posting be amended with advice similar that quoted here?

But unless you and your friend arrive at the site in convoy you still won't be able to get adjacent pitches since pitches cannot be reserved (disability excepted).
