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)

I agree. if they had EHU then fine. As somebody who once fished regularly then maybe more

I note that some of these "New Listings" are still "Awaiting Pictures".

I would have thought that as they all have to be inspected before they are accepted onto the network why can't the Site Inspector take some pictures and submit with the listing so we get a lot more idea of what it's like when considering making a booking.

Or is that to helpful to the membership?

This thread needs to be made a sticky so that we can find it again.

It's a great idea but could be better with some of the additions that have been mentioed, location and closures being two. It would be of use to all on here.

Hmm...... Having had a brief glance through nearly all of the new entries, I have come to the conclusion, held for some time, that new CL owners are suggested a trial price and arrival times by Club representatives, or that they are tending to adhere to Club Site like arrival times. It isn't an issue for us, we phone and ask regarding arrival times wherever we book, but certainly no arrivals prior to 1 and even 2 pm might put off a few who only look at the web pages. £15 is the common price to most as well, and they differ greatly in provision and popular areas. Just my observations....

Hi all

We do inform the new CL's about our website and encourage them to send pictures. Some will want to wait until their site has members staying and will capture pictures then. Our Field Officers have in the past taken pictures when doing the final inspection and sent them to us on the CL Owners behalf.

We do advise the CL Owners of this when we provide them with their certificate. We are currently in the processes of putting more information together to encourage the Owners to use Club Together more. 

With regards to pricing, the CL's are operated and managed as independent businesses and therefore the CL owners can decide on their own pricing structures. We as a Club encourage them not to price themselves out of the market otherwise members will be deterred from using them but we do not have any final say in what they charge.

I will add the location to next month’s list of new sites, the closed sites will continue to be published in the monthly magazines.

Nellie – I will look in to getting Eastridge Caravan Park and Bwlford Small Holdings fixed, thank you for highlighting these.

 

Thanks

Maddie

New CL owners are most welcome to join the every expanding CL Owners Group.  We now number around 300 CL's the length and breadth of the UK.  The group is free to join.  More information and joining instructions for CL Owners can be found on our website.

Thanks, Maddie. Good to see the towns included. Could you encourage the new CL owners to post a photo or 2 of their site, as that certainly helps with selection IMO.
