5 van sites exemption etc

It is the setting up of exemption certificated sites that is in question, and as written in the Government Regs it clearly states to hold an exemption certificate they are issued to a "club" for the use of members only

There was no mention of "tempory sites" in the OPs query

Nevertheless, the information, if there is a need, is out there for all to understand. 

Among those organisations holding an exemption certificate to have a 5 van site there is the Wimsey Wharf Association - but I can’t find out much about them - so the Moose Caravan and Camping Club is a more interesting one.They have one CL on a big estate in Somerset and their website gives separate prices for members and non members of that Club. But Wimsey Wharf Association anyone? 

Probably a canal side site eurortraveller. 

Before Baltic Wharf "WareHouse At Riverfront"just a wimsey thought

It's disappointing that in July last year I advised the club that a CL in Derbyshire  requested people to book via their online booking form. Nowhere on the website does it state that the site is available to CaMC members only so anyone could book a pitch. There is no request for a membership number. Nine months later the website and booking form is still not amended. There is only the CaMC sign on the gate  stating members only which is a bit late to find out although when I visited last July I wasn't asked to show my membership card.

As the CL is in a very popular area it is quite likely it is already booked up by non-members for this year.

JohnM20,  Be generous, members or not, we all enjoy this hobby and we all need good places to stay, I myself have no wish to turn other people away just for my own benefit. 

Mmm, let non-members stay and the end result could be the club losing the right to issue exemption certificates so we lose all the CLs. That's to the detriment of us all. Generosity, no; short sighted, yes.

The site owners could find their public liability insurance is affected if they don't comply (mentioned on the CL setting up guide.)

We predominantly, like many others, are members of the club to take advantage of the CL network. That's what we pay our membership for. If non-members can use a CL what is the point of having  membership?

There must be some people out there that have used this particular CL because, until arriving, they didn't know it was members only and others, I dare say, who know full well that they shouldn't really be using the site but as there is no apparent check on membership at the time of booking or upon arrival they can get away with it. 

The point of my earlier post was just to point out that reporting issues to the club as stated by JBV66 doesn't always get a result, even though the apparent problem has been acknowledged.
