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!

b) has the time to check them and calculate the usage.

That is why I suggested it might be better to have a standard. This would allow a common smart card to be used on what is after all a Club network. With such a system no owner would need to read meters.

what is after all a Club network.

Really since when?

I thought you have in the past sometimes been against club site rules and procedures yet here you want CL to be more integrated with the club?

Are you not pushing your fondness for metered EHU onto CL owners? and anyway OT I think?

Since you need to be a member of the C&MC to use them.

I make no apologies for being pro metering.

I suspect CL owners would rather find their own solutions than be forced to follow a CAMC enforced system.

I think that as long as a metered system is viable (something that CL owners would have to decide upon) and is user friendly, I can’t think of one good reason for not adopting such an approach. You use it, you pay for it.

I don't understand apart from Scotland why anyone would want to stop to empty & refill their water

Surely if you are touring you empty before you leave site one then fill up when you arrive at site two

touring should and can often include one night stops to enable you to cover a larger area in your tour, I think many sites are going to end up over pricing and although the COVID situation seems to be making the staycation more popular hopefully it will eventually return to some normality and lots of the customers will revert to European travel. Sites that have raised prices during the pandemic to cash in on the demand may find themselves without customers

I find it strange that most people want the system to suit their style of travel why not be more flexible and understand we are not all the same and some people want to do things different to what you deem as the right way

If COVID teaches us anything it should be to be more understanding and tolerant to our neighbours

Some don't use sites except when they need services.

But there does not make them part of the club network in any way.

Although I don't understand it you don't need to apologise, just don't force it on others or CL owners.

My point exactly, yes.

Sorry pd, like you, if metering is available, then it might be a fairer system for the likes of us, with a small outfit, minimal electric usage and off pitch for most of day. But going down the “standard” meter is losing the CL owner independent ethos.

I never consider Club Sites and CLs in the same way. And long may it stay that way.

I did say "owners could chose to follow or not". A standard would make it easier for customers who would not have to mess about with a multidtude of different system. Even meters that accepted credit or debit cards would be good better than lots of different systems of payment.
