Adults Only CLs Annoyance..

Silly me. I thought all CLs were adults only - with a minimum age limit too - a sort of sub section of Saga holidays. 

I go to campsites with unfenced rivers, unsupervised swimming pools and campfires. And families. 

Yes I am quite aware of the shocking state of safety precautions at some of the ancient monuments on the other side, as well. It's strange because I thought we had to abide by the same Europe wide regulations.

I don't mind being considered too extreme TF   It's only a view that I hold.  If I ran a CL I wouldn't feel comfortable using an exemption from a club under those circumstances and would prefer to sort out my own licence if I wanted to go AO but I recognise that others don't have such qualms.

Anyway if I won't use AO CLs  there's more spaces available for those who want them for whatever reason.  There have been some pretty unpleasant things said on this thread about children and I'm not keen to read any more so I'll leave you all to it.

Hope the OP has a got a better understanding of why things are the way they are though

To bring it back on thread, I think the safety concerns were in relation to young children, and that this might be the reason some CL's have decided to be AO.

One reason amongst others!

Just a thought, would it not make sense to take issue with the irresponsible parents who willingly let their children do what they like irritating other members and blow every one else. It's  typical of some of today's parents.

Some people are too easily irritated. Why join in the bunfight.  It's already covered on this thread

 

When our friends ran Clumber Park site,before it was opened out as it is now,they had do do a certain amount of pitching of vans, at w/ends normally,so if families were booked in they used to try to put them near the play area away from the not secure edges of the site(open into the forest)on arrival the the response from some was "we do not want to be near the play area,we want somewhere away from it, the children will find their way there " oht to the on one occasion a todler was brought to the officein tears lost,it took over half an hour to find the "parents?" they had not even missed her

It's quite simple really, if people don't like AO's don't go to them just the same if a site says no dogs I don't go there. It's choice that we all have rights to. Family friendly doesn't just mean having children with you.

we are quite happy to go to either if it's where we want to be.

Simples 

 

 

Write your comments here... In a nutshell,Live and let live.  

Not read all the post so don't know if it been pointed out before but there are only 378 AO CLs out of a total of 2343 that are open at the moment. That's about 7%, so obviously there's a huge choise on CLs that allow children.

 

I get the percentage to be 16% NTH but a year or so ago it was much higher. I wonder if recent closures have included more of the AO CLs or if some have decided to allow families again.

Either way I'm pleased to see the percentage reducing and long may that trend continue

 

Sorry JayEss, my maths need some brushing up!
