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)

Perhaps it's a subtle way for the site owner to deter or at least restrict the number of dogs on site.

Probably just trying to be fair to all prospective users. On our last trip out ( on a CS)  our neighbours had 5 dogs in their caravan!

Rather them than us! But did it affect your stay in any way, Grant?

At present this is something the Club does not wish to do.

I will as mentioned previously bring it up at the next review. I appreciate all of your feedback and will use this, thank you for sharing them. 

Maddie it's nearly 6 months since you said that you'd highlight this request at the next CL review. Do you mean to say that there has not been a CL review within that time period. Says a lot about the CC's attitude to CLs, and to CT members who use them, in general.

They could of course just put a limit on the number of dogs(pets) per van instead.

No,  as they were very well behaved and the weather was not conducive to sitting outside in the sunshine. However you surely can't believe that in most occasions it would not have affected some people. 

I'm just glad that the caravan on the other side didn't have another five. 

You can have too much of a good thing!  laughing

So in regard to CL newly listed would you be prefer for the CL to set a limit but make them FOC?

FOC, as I can't see a reason for charging extra for pets, unless they are supplying extras specifically for them, such as pet showers. Looking at Silverhays info page they don't charge extra for awnings so it can't be to increase income.

If the Club are reluctant to list the closed CL's I suppose there would be no objection to one of the CL watchers posting a list?

You didn't answer the question!

Sorry, Maddie, but that just sounds like a patronising reason, rather like a Parent to an errant child.

Hi Wherenext

I would like to appologise that my earlier post has insulted you. My intention was never to be patronising or insulting. 

We have reviews quarterly and when I have brought up this request in the last review it was agreed that at present the CL Closures were to remain as being published in the Magazines as it is available electronically as well as being sent in the post. 

We are due to have another review meeting in the next couple of months where I will bring up this topic once more, as mentioned in my previous post I will bring all feedback to the meeting to support your request and will update you all on this. 

Thanks

Maddie
