Adults Only CLs Annoyance..

Grayjames you are being a bit aggressive in my opinion. This is a young family,new to the CC.You like everyone are entitled to your opinion,but it is in my opinion not showing members in the best light.

Just to clarify we have been member's of the CC for 5 years+ ( CCC 15 yrs + as we had a tent).

My main point after searching through the CL network it often comes to the point our "perfect site" is AO - i have nothing against AO sites and agree with some of the posts many do enjoy these rather than family sites for obvious reasons...

Just a thought, but perhaps they need to make better use of the the catergorys within the campsite search? 

Ian, I suggest you contact CC about your member status not showing in your avatar.

As for the subject matter of the thread, I really don't see a problem. What is an ideal site to you wont be to someone else. We are all different.

I agree with you Ian and I won't use AO CLs even when our kids don't travel with us. I have used AO private sites but then they pay for their own licence rather than using the Clubs exemption. 

 

And me. I won't use them at all whoever they belong to. I find the whole idea of banning children throughly objectionable.  What is it about some British people to want to do that? 

That's a club members choice if they want to use an Adult Only site or not.

Is that not a good thing if some people want to be without children around them for their holiday break that they may be able to find somewhere.

It must be noted that there are plenty of adults that have never had children or lost children and there is still a small minority that do not discipline their children that does cause stress for others.

Many Cl's do not cater for children and this depends on their age. (meaning pool, swings, play area) Peddling around a farm on a bike might not be safe.Plus many other safety issues.

There are members on this forum I expect that have had children kicking balls onto their caravans , shouting, screaming, crying and also had troubled noisey neighbours at home ....that just want to be without children

There are 1000s of sites across the uk that cater for children.

I have good information that many of the CC CL Adult Only sites are very busy.

Why? Because there is demand from the public

Banning children? Hardly, ET, and that's rather an extreme comment. It's more a question of some people preferring peace and quiet at a time when children are on holiday and, rightly, enjoying themselves in the way children do. There can be all sorts of reasons for not wanting to be around children at a given time and if doesn't make people who use, or run, AO sites either child haters or in favour of banning them.

Having seen the damage that certain children have done to walls and trees on some CLs it's no wonder that the owners have selected to make their sites Adult Only. Some parents these days seem have no regard for other's property and this attitude is conveyed to their children, who are allowed to run wild and have no respect for what is not theirs.

In my view this is the most likely reason for a CL being AO

Whether the Club should grant exemptions for AO CLs is another matter. I don't believe that it should. If a CL wants to be AO I believe they should sort their own licence and/or planning issues out rather than piggy backing on the CC exemption. 

Most members won't agree with me and that's fine. But when a CL uses the Club to get going in the first place yet excludes a section of the membership because they travel with children it's hardly following the inclusive ethos of the club. 

They wont get my money.
