CL advice in current situation

Nobody is blaming the club, G Trimmer has a point of view which may be shared by the many Seasonal Pitch holders who have paid in the region of £2000 each, up front before the sites were even opened! This closure represents a pro rata loss of approx £800. Legitimate question to ask about refunds.

What is that to do with 5 unit CLs?

Nothing whatsoever. It was a comment in general support of G Trimmer, who raised the subject of redress, and who was subsequently criticised by you and others. I am now going away to check my off-shore bank account.

 I have no idea whether the person in front of, or the one behind me [or both], is one of those potentially infected grandparents.

and the person on the other side of the counter serving you has no idea if you're infected or not & he/she has little option as whether to turn up for work

Government advice published on essential travel on 22 March, just in case you missed it. Guess CLs are included.

Who this guidance is for: 

This guidance is for people planning to visit second homes or holiday premises during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Essential travel does not include visits to second homes, camp sites, caravan parks or similar, whether for isolation purposes or holidays. People should remain in their primary residence. Not taking these steps puts additional pressure on communities and services that are already at risk.

Gtrimmer stated "removed the major benefit of membership from us for at least three months."

So I and others because it was posted in the CL section of the forum came to the conclusion the CL network was his major benefit, not sure how you came to the conclusion he was a Seasonal pitch holder?

However, it matters not, if you are a Seasonal pitch holder I hope you get sorted and your off shore account is healthy👍🏻

I wonder how many CL owners may think about shifting their allegiance either to the C&CC or go independent when this all blows over? Or even decide to just call it a day? There's bound to be some.

AFAIK t'other club didn't include their CSs in their closure advice. I know the guidance from the Government states that people should avoid travelling to campsites but if they hadn't then presumably those CSs that wanted to stay open could have and may still be doing until formally told to close.

From what I've read of posts from CL owners it would appear that the closures were not discussed with them. I may be wrong.  Are many CL owners angry with the club or just philosophical about the closures?

We used to have a CL, started by my late father-in-law in the 1970’s. When Foot and Mouth Disease struck in 2002, we closed the CL.  We were not infected but went into lockdown - no one onto the farm except, milk tanker, feed deliveries and vets. Locked gates, disinfectant etc.

For various reasons we decided not to reopen the CL. I am sure that if we still had it I would not want anyone staying on site, either touring or full-timing.

How do you know you can trust anyone to be as vigilant as you are?

Had a Facebook message from Barleywood yesterday saying they were closed.  They are just about full from March to the end of October so they really will lose a lot of business.  

I also received a message from a CL we had booked for Easter they total us they were going to retain our deposit and hold it over until 2021, personally I would like it back

AFAIK t'other club didn't include their CSs in their closure advice.

No they didn't but their facebook page confirms they are all closed.
