CLs - The jewel in the CC's crown

Imo, Cl's are a huge asset for CC customers. Most are in lovely rural locations and make an excellent base to tour the surrounding area.

Have you been on a Marketing course K, getting some practise in on a captive audience? Happy

They are though, certainly!

My gripe is that you have to pay £48 /year in order to use (privately owned) CL's!  You will note that I am NOT a CC member. (I am a member of the 'other' club and don't value any of the other 'benefits' I might gain by joining). 

Now, a 'restricted membership' which simply gave one the ability to use CLs really would appeal.  I wonder if anyone has actually done the (commercial) sums?Sad

We haven't tried any CL's yet but intend to change that this year know I know what I'm doing with caravans. Thankfully we can just go for the 'views & location' as we're all set up for full wild camping

CL's / CS's jewel in the crown for both clubsSmile, that's all I use now ,(and rallies,THS from other club) well worth the membership fee from both clubs. Just got back from a 3 night February midweek break, did not have EHU used gas  / 12v, so a cheaper rate and the site to ourselves, good location and near a cycle path.

I know many members value them a great deal but I am concerned  that neither club values them anything like as much.

I despair at the unbalance in their loss from the system relative to the addition.  Much I suspect is loss from the ageing of the owners but feel the legislation limiting to 5 units (caravans and motor homes) itself brings no incentive for the network to grow new blood.

Yes Cls are great and we use them in preference. Just a word of warning to CL wners-you are in many cases pricing yourselves out. No need for all singing all dancing. Also make sure your prices are up to date. No excuse for websites to be out of date. Nothing will deter revisits than to find the prices exceed those quoted

I don't think CLs are the jewels in the crown at all. I haven't been to many but honestly they weren't jewels at all. They were fields, and nothing to be proud of at all.
