Yurts? Pods? What on earth?

Will the users of these facilities have to be club members and pay the same dues as us?

I can't remember if that was the case then (as previously described) it was so many years ago, Oneput. Just to add that she later went on to buy a camper van mind you she had toured with us throughout her childhood and this experience helped rekindled her love for our pastime.

Will caravans (both trailer and motor) now be accepted on site by the Yurts, Pods, Huts, Campervan, Trailer Tent and Cottages Club?

Campervaners and trailer tenters do not seem to have any hangups about them not being recognised

YB, why do you think that the people who will use these Pods, Yurts, or whatever will :

perhaps do not understand or abide by night noise rules -and that is just the first thing that springs to mind

Why do you think they will be any different to those that use caravans and MHs?

Also do these poders or yurters have some sort of diplomatic immunity if they do break the rules?

I agree with the op.

There is a fallacy that the more the Club provides, the more money it will make. Not true. 

These units are very expensive to buy, site and maintain. They will replace caravan / motorhome pitches on sites which are the opposite of all of these.

Of course, the Club will never reveal the losses made on this expensive experiment......because they have the comfort of all those membership fees to cushion them.

Membership fees that these new (temporary and occaisional) site users won't be paying of course, just as tent campers don't have to pay membership fees or non-member site fees.

I have just book with an affiliated site and discovered the discount I get as a CC member from the all-comers rate is . . . . one pound a night!

It will take a lot of these bookings to fund the £40 the Club now demands.

I think the Club managers are probably worried about site occupancy rates and are looking for ways  to bring in more customers. The late availability page is telling me that the eight Club sites here in Cornwall have a total of 400 empty places at the end of next week - and that's the Bank Holiday weekend. 

But then find a pitch in most of the rest of the country

Its a well known fact that the far south west is usually only "busy" for about six weeks of school holidays, thought you might know that
