Are CLs really members only

Hi I have just booked a cl for 21 nights in Feb and wasn't asked if I was a member just to send a deposit. Goes to prove it's all about the money

Sounds good. Things are improving. That's just how B&Bs work. Open to all who book and pay. 

 

If I decide to use a CL and I am the 6th unit I have no problem with that. If I have space to pitch, access to all I need then I am not outraged at all. It is my choice to stay or go. I will not be reporting the CL owner when I am not inconvenienced. I rent a small space for a short time, the CL owner makes the decisions not me, if I suffer in any way I will not use the CL again-it really is that simple. If others want to get all excited because they've poured over the 'rules' & see a petty infringement then that is their choice, I'm for an easy & enjoyable life.

Hear, hear! I had composed a reply saying much the same, but a phone call interrupted me and of course I was timed out!

Write your comments here...I agree it is an improvement but the only reason I pay my membership is the access to the cl network so theoretically I don't need to be a member

The CC rules do not allow non-members to use CLs. Any CL owner who allows it is liable to lose his certificate.Even though the law would allow non-members the Club does not.

Thank you Andy. However I get the impression the Club and CL owners are not too heavy handed in applying the ruling.

That is rather a sweeping statement if you don't mind me saying so RW, especially as in our experience you are more likely to be asked if you are a member than not. Good for you though supporting a CL for 21 dayside February, and paying a deposit. Just hope the weather holds for you now. 

The CL owner does not have a choice as regards breaking the terms of the exemption agreement with the authorities (not The CC), if he accepts non members.

That is not how I read the guidance Vulcan.

“Non-members are allowed to stay on the site if your club and the landowner agree to it.”

To me that says it is down to the Club who certify the site as to what is imposed with the agreement of the landowner.

I appreciate it is normal to involve the council in the decision to grant a certificate but what if the Land owner does not agree to the restriction? There is at least one Club who does not impose any restrictions, the MCC

What I am really trying to get at is what is the CC policy and is this consistently applied across the CL network because as many of us are aware very little checks are actually made and most of us know someone who has used a CL/CS and have not been members.

I take your point peedee however, CC policy is quite clear regarding members only on CL's, in an ideal world these rules would be self policing. I do wonder why people join the CC when they clearly abhor the rules.

Write your comments here...it's not a sweeping statement as we have stayed on cl sites all over the country and can only remember being asked a couple of times about my membership. I don't mind who cl owners let on their sites, my point is I only stay a member for the cl sites so why should I continue if I can get access for free
