CL or not?

No CL is allowed to take non members to stay as it is breaking the agreement to be able to operate as a CL ,if you do find  it happening , please advise the club because they could be depriving members of the club their right to stay 

Non members staying on club sites are not only expected to follow club rules they also are charged £13.00per night over what the site they are on site charges are

Exactly as JVB said.

Report it to the club -

I reported a site in July last year with a reminder 6 months later. The "CL" booking website still does not mention CaMC membership requirement 12 months on.

The words "appear" and "probably" should perhaps not be used in the context of who is using a site. It is important that misinformation is not promoted unless real facts are known.  

We've recently booked a CL, they were using the recently formed CL owners group booking system (we weren't aware of this till we logged onto the personal web site not via the group one.) We were quite definitely asked for our membership number. This particular group promotes the proper use of CLs.

I think suspicions are sufficient grounds to bring a possible breach of exemption rules to the club. It is then up to the club to investigate.

I remember TG's recent stay on a CL with more than 5 vans. When questioned the site owner claimed the club was OK with the situation due to exceptional circumstances. We were then told by Maddie that the club would never authorise exceeding the 5 van limit. I quote this as an example of how it is unlikely any one of us can establish the facts so reporting suspicious activity is all we can do.

Let me beg to differ with those who seem to want to keep non members out. By all means charge a reduced site fee to those who have a paid a Club membership subscription, but  I firmly believe that camping, caravanning and motorhoming is a democratic pastime and that sites should be open to all. This Club has a long history of being rather elitist and superior - it’s time that “members only” attitudes ended and that everyone should be made welcome. 

You frequently make such comments regarding the exemption system, Euro, and I don’t necessarily disagree with you but you know it is outwith the club’s power to change the existing arrangement. Have you contacted your MP about it?

That attitude is fine if we are all not paying a membership fee. We regularly use CL's and pay our membership fee simply because we want to exercise our member's right to use the CL's. Why should people who haven't paid the fee get access to CL's? It's nothing to do with democracy.

Am I right in thinking that at present CAMC CL owners can't offer the route to membership and wouldn't this be a good solution to a non member wanting to use a CL?

Its mostly  cash business so rules are only guidelines. Who would turn away a customer on this basis and what are the chances of anyone "catching them out". NIL
