Creating a new CL

Does sound as if the MCC are breaking the rules for Using their cl network as one of the regulations/conditions for getting an exemption certificate/licence is that all user must belong to the "club" the certificate is issued to 

please don't use my post to go off piste about MCC. I was just trying to ask a simple question as to whether anyone out there still wants a basic CL.

I think it was your comment about the MCC that provoked the posts

but the post from the other CL should help in your decision

Thank you JVB66.  I have read other threads where people are saying they really like the basic CL with just CDP and water.  I am just trying to gauge whether it is worth persuing.  We do have a lovely area for caravans as I stated before, and our aim would be to welcome lots of new people who would enjoy the countryside. We have no wish to put in hardstandings as they would spoil the look of the site, nor would we wish to put in costly EHU at the moment. If we were to be granted a CL, we would obviously see how it went before putting in EHU. I know we could charge more for those facilities, but that is not our priority.

I feel you need to look at how much commitment you are prepared to put into running the CL in a basic form. You will need to be on hand re bookings, cut the grass , clear the dust bins, see new arrivals . I find there is a quite large commitment of my time in running a CL. Most of my visitors expect the facilities we offer , It takes very little extra time to see after a full CL as one not heavily used.  

We are quite prepared for the commitment Wildmere. The commitment side has nothing to do with the fact that we don't want hardstandings etc.

We are lucky in that our soil is sandy so we have no hard standings. We have over the years added our services. Electrics are only 10 amp, this we find helps restrict some usage. But I would add we are all different and whatever you do I wish you luck, we have made many new friends and had fun running the CL. Go for it and enjoy.   

NCGirl, I thought you were asking the question about what people wanted but it looks to me as if you've made up your mind to go with the basic concept.

That's fine and it's what some people prefer. Personally, I consider EHU a must and a HS is good although not essential. You must make up your own mind. 

No Tinwheeler I was asking if some people still liked and used basic sites.

I think you have an answer - some do, some don't. 

It's your call.
