There are many forums out there discussing 5 van sites no doubt as a result of the bookings boom.

Claims that any organisation can get an exemption for a 5 van site, that you do no have to be a club member to use a 5 van site and that if you have a five van site you can add an aire are rife.

Is this misinformation or true, do the club's need to clarify this?

It states as your link "for use by the club and its member only"

Presumably the club has an agreement with the landowner regards members only.

And your point is ? 

I suppose it is unusual for information to be posted with facts 

Instead of posts that as you seem to be good at by having phantom? informationwink

I'll solve the mystery for you, the club can and does stipulate in the exemption that CLs are for "members only."

See HERE

On temporary sites etc the rules can be changed.

I have in the past contacted UK Campsites as almost 100% of the time when looking at descriptions of CLs on their website they stipulate that you can often join on site if a non member. I have pointed out that this isn't true, although I understand that you can do it if wanting to join the C&CC.

Doesn't seem to make any difference though as they just ignore it. No wonder people new to touring may misunderstand how things are done.

I'm also sure that there will be a small number CL owners who turn a blind eye if a non member turns up or just assume that they are members anyway.

I don't often have to produce a membership card  on site but I am often asked when making a booking by email or phone for it. I always offer it anyway.
