Network Shrinkage

I have a feeling that we may have stayed there when a CL. If the same one the site used to be "run" in the name of 2 people and there used to be a small road separating two fields both allowing 5 units on each. If the same one then it was fine as we used it twice. Not that many in Brigg.

Have to check my records when back home.

Of course it would be nice if someone who looks after these affairs at EG could come on here and explain whether or not the club are actually bothered about losing CLs or are lobbying through channels to allow the expansion of those that can accommodate it, maybe based on a larger footprint per unit than that found on club sites. But of course they're not likely to mingle with us great unwashed.

for me Moonstone 40 mins from home and pitch fee which includes fishing is a bargain for me, well worth another try.

Hi Nelliethehooker,, don't know if you use facebook but they have a page on there with plenty of photos for you to look at.

Hi Wherenext, the site is run by a couple, site is in a small village called Bonby not actually in Brigg so doubt it was the one use used the site is only one field.

We love College Farm - that's our weekend retreat

Ta, Sell. Think the village was Barnetby-le-Wold but having had a look in the sites directory can only see 1 site listed. I'm sure that there used to be 2 sites in the same family name. You could see the occasional flight coming into "Hull" airport from the site and as the site was higher than the landing area the planes used to appear below you (unless of course they were taking off).

Looks like another CL gone then.

Thanks, SELL. I'll have a look at their FB page.

Do members who continually advocate allowing more units on CL'c really understand the complexity of the issue. CL owners are allowed the extraordinarily unusual advantage of setting up a site without the need for planning approval due to the fact that the site is small and unobtrusive. If they wish to extend the site they are completely within their rights to apply for planning approval for a larger site.
Many local councils and individuals hate the unusual advantages afforded to CL's due to the fact that planning approval is not required and the most likely outcome of a protracted discussion on the number of units on a CL would be the end of the concession.
I have used CL's for 40 years now and in all that time sites have closed and new ones opened due to different circumstances, and most of the ones I use are happy with their lot. To a certain extent members are their own enemies in as much as they are demanding too much from CL's like internet booking, demanding full site facilities and perfectly manicured grass etc, and then they wonder why CL's are pricing themselves out of the market.

That post is absolutely spot on. Well said.
