If you are a keen supporter of the CL network you might like to know that there's a dedicated support group for CL owners where they share best practice, information and encourage other landowners to set up new CLs. 

The group liaises with the Club on a regular basis, but like the CLs themeselves, it is entirely independent. The group receives no financial support or direction from the Club.The group was formed in 2014 and now has over 600 members.  Find out more on our website

How you can help: If you are visiting a CL and think they could benefit from advice or support from fellow CL owners, please point them in the direction of the group.  Likewise, if you know someone with a great spot for a new CL, the Owners Group website is a complementary source of information to the Clubs own guide for setting up a CL.

The group is entirely run by volunteers (all CL owners), is free to join and welcomes feedback from CAMC members, especially those with knowledge of the CL network!

I for one would rather pay more more a CL in winter due to increased electric use rather than faf about with a meter.

Given the availability of solar, lithium, refillable gas and inverters, why is there a need for EHU. Both CL's and CAMC could save on infrastructure, reduce prices and individual members could use as much out as little energy as they wished.

True CY buit meters give choice, the same pitch can be used by those that want electric and those that don't.

Sorry I thought wild camping was only allowed in certain areas of Scotland.  Surely if you are using a site because you need services then you are a customer who is paying for the night

So in reality is that not touring?

Yesterday I put the heating on in the van between 11.00am and 18.00pm on the low setting with the thermostat set at 12 degrees C. I noted from my Smart Meter that I had used about 80p worth of electricity. Had I left it on for 24 hours it would have cost approx £2.50, now imagine if the van was being used for real. I would have had the heating on full, I would have had the water heater on and the fridge and would have used the microwave. So I imagine I would have used at least twice that amount of electricity probably more. I mention this just to illustrate how much electricity our units use. Obviously the cost to the site could have been reduced if I had use a mix of gas and electric but I wonder how many do that. So Ted's point about £5 to £8 a day does not seem unrealistic. I wonder how many would be prepared to accept an extra charge of £5 a night during the winter. It seems metering might have some merit?
