Monthly CL Opened List

In a few other discussions it has been asked if there is a way to see what new sites have opened recently.

All new CL sites are published in the monthly magazines, but these can appear a couple of months after the site has been opened. 

I thought that it would be beneficial for all members and CL owners if we posted a list once a month of all CL sites opened the previous month. 

We do already have the following discussion board for New CL owners to advertise their sites here, and I would encourage new CL owners to continue to post on that discussion as well. 

I hope this will be of some use for you all. 

Thanks

Maddie (and the CL team)

Maddie can you please explain why the list that you have posted over the last two months do not agree with those printed in the May and June editions of the club's magazine? Some do but many don't.

Hi Nellie

Sorry for the delay in responding to you, the magazine is always 2 months ahead, so anything closed in July would appear in the September Magazine. Some Openings or Closures may be in the following month due to a cut off date for the magazine content being earlier than month end. 

I hope that made sense and has answered your question.

Thanks Maddie

May I ask if the club has any say in the pricing of CL's?

I ask as I thought there was an ideal new CL on the list, Dorset Springs, but FROM £15 a night for what is essentially a basic CL is far to high!

Yes, it's in a glorious area but, in my opinion, way overpriced!

Dave, I don’t know whether it’s true and I sincerely hope it’s not but my source was pretty reliable as he is a CL owner- apparently he was contacted by the club and asked to put his prices up! Now, if that’s true I am appalled. These are private businesses and the club has no business suggesting prices! I can only imagine - again, if it’s true,  the move was to protect their own prices and make them look not too bad??

Thanlks Maddie. Good to see that there are a lot of new ones opening and only a few closing, for a change.wink

Hi Maddie. Could I make a suggestion please. Would it be possible to indicate whether these opening or closing sites are EHU or non EHU? Thanks.

Hi Merve, it's good that the club's posting the updates on here, don't get them confused by asking for more, please, or they may withdraw the listings.wink

Maddie

The following site from the July listing is in Licolnshire not Norfolk

Norfolk - Woodhall Spa - Poplar Farm

This will be important for the owners when the new sites directory goes to print.

Hi Merve and Dave,

The CL sites are independent businesses and it is up to them how they choose to run their site (as long as they are within the rules of the Certification) we do not get any form of financial gain from owners.

We do not encourage CL sites to increase their prices and would advise them to check the prices of the surrounding CLs to ensure they are not pricing themselves too high. 

Thanks

Maddie
