CL numbers 'up'

I would give the errant member a ring.

You shouldn't have to but I would want to keep them as a potential future customer.

The couple next to us now are using more cc or commercial sites this year , because although most are good value ,they are getting fed up with ,what seems to them to be an ever increasing amount that "over book?" Their cls with more than the legal amount of vans and not with just  the odd one day "overlap"..?

Write your comments here...I have just opened a new CL and already have someone 'book ' a date not send the deposit and then not turn up, do I keep that pitch empty incase they turn up or do I take a booking from someone who pays the deposit? If you were running a business what would you do?

Write your comments here...you have their details why did you not make contact and advise as no deposit recieved have let the pitch

KimT, If you are not already, can I suggest that you join the CL Owners support group (see this thread) where the issue of deposits (and many other issues) are discussed by fellow CL owners new and old..   I think you'll find it helpful :)

I am going from memory, so don’t take my figures as gospel but if I do remember correctly when we joined the CC in1999 the Sites Directory boasted Over 3,700 CL's. Again if I am not mistaken current numbers are below 2,500, so we would seem to have lost about 1/3^rd during that period. As user's of CL's only, we can only hope that further increases continue but we won’t be holding our breath.     

I think when I joined in the mid eighties it was about 5000. Less variety in facilities then though. Grass or grass with just water and CDP.

For the 2^nd month in succession I notice in 'CL Sites Updates' CC Magazine Oct issue, that New C/L numbers are again up on Closures :

New 13 against Closures 6, an Increase of 7. 

I do hope that this can continue and become the trend and good fortune to our good C/L owners whether established or new. 

You are the ‘Jewels in the Crown’.  

ant see any opened in New Certified Locations for last 2 months. Those in the Mag are probably 3 mnths or more with publishing dates.

Just to bring things up to date. 

New cl's over the last 12 months = 49

That's an average of 4 per month. Overall total of 245  pitches. I don't consider that adequate over the total of the membership especially when you take out the number lost through closures

It is worth remembering that many C/L's close but reopen as commercial sites!

But how are we told that. We just hear they've closed
