Are CLs really members only

Unfortunately as I pointed out to the CC,the new checking system does not determine if the person in possession of the card is a member, only that the membership card and number is current.To do so will involve photo cards which will mean more expense due to a minority of people trying to fiddle the system as usual.

I always ask for a membership number and contact phone when I take a booking. I do not do texts. our phone signal is very poor from my supplier.I have never asked to see a membership card on the arrival of a visitor as it tells me nothing. I also never ask for an address, And I agree with Valcon 100%

Write your comments here...I don't think we have ever had anyone stay that I suspected wasn't a CC member. I did have a booking from someone last year which I was a bit dubious about but they didn't turn up for the fortnight they booked anyway so I didn't find out if they were actually the member or not. I did suggest to the CC when they brought in the new text service that it was OK to text "Current member" but it might be a good idea to change it to the expiry date as although a member is current today they might not be by September when the booking is for.  Kellysmum

I may be wrong but I got the impression that once a site is certified (and it is only certain organisations such as the CC who can certify) then it can in general allow anyone it wishes onto the site. However I expect as a matter of contract with the CC as certifying authority it is not permitted to allow non members or more than 5 units to use the site. In other words allowing non members may not be unlawful but may be a breach of its contract with the CC. 

I think that the cl/cs networks run by both major clubs can only be used by members  of the clubs as that is part of the exemption certificates issued to the clubs

I don't think that is right I think as a matter of law once the exemption certificate is issued (and there are various organisations authorised to issue exeption certificates) the site can be freely used however I imagine that clubs control use to members only contractually and theree is a measure of dependency on the part of the site owner on the club.

Once an excemption is granted it is then up to the excempted organisation to decide whether to allow non-members. The CC state that they are members only, that is their rules and in my opinion rightly so.

Natural England is the only organisation that can issue exemption certificates to Clubs/Organisations for recreational camping and they must be able to supply proof that their MEMBERS have a code of conduct that applys to their use of the sites 

BlueVanMan got it right on the previous page. This Club's way of keeping membership up is to say to site owners we will get you a certificate if you agree to keep non members out. Site owners who let non members in are breaking their agreement with the Club but are not breaking any national law.
