does anybody know how many CL close each year and how many new one's join up, the thought I had was if I left CC   (if I ran a CL that is) how much would I save by not going under the CC umbrella and going alone.

The Club really needs to do more advertising of CL' s which would make the job more worthwhile. Our only source of advertising as we are limited to Club members only is the Club magazine, and in all its pages and articles only 3 CL's get a mention each month , yet Club sites get loads of mention and included in every article written in the magazine defining the nearest campsite.  If no Club sites exist in an area you will be very lucky to see a mention of attractions in that area, yet there will be CL's near at hand. The only extra advertising of CL's is when the winners are announced of CL's of the year and I believe that is only a handful of votes for each winner.

I think your right David.  Last year the mag had an article about Norfolk and the Broads and the only sites mentioned were club sites, yet like most areas we have dozens of lovely CL.  They could highlight a couple along with the club sites for the area they are exploring(?)

Owners could also help themselves by putting pictures on the web or develop a small webpage for their site

Perhaps the Club needs to be more acommadating  with CL owners, without them, the Club would be a hollow shell. And hardly worth the membership fees.

Totally agree. It would make more worthwhile reading than the articles on club sites that sometimes make me wonder how long the writer was in the area before writing it up. We once met a regular writer of caravan club articles on site one evening. He arrived about six o'clock and was off next morning yet there was at least half a page on the site and the area in a future article. I would be far more interested in articles about the CLs in various areas.

Write your comments here... I think he meant 'without' CLs he wouldn't bother with CC membership. Certainly we would not as they are our preferred choice.
