Rules for CL's

Why does the CC allow so many CL's to 'break the rules'   How often are they inspected?  Who decides whether they are asked to leave the network?  How do inspectors work?  Has anyone ever seen one!

I get increasingly annoyed by CL's which break the rules.   We often go on them and there are more than 5 - often up to 10 and on one occasion 26! (and no it wasn't a rally).   We've been on sites which have a 'warden' - a member who lives on site in his van and runs the site for the owner!    And what about van owners who aren't members of the CC?   Plenty of those around too!

I know the owners have to make a profit but for us we choose these sites because they are quiet and should only have 5 vans.    LIkewise if I wanted a warden, I would go on a Club site.  And why when I am a member should I not be able to get a pitch because the site is full of non-members. It is my choice not to use club or commercial sites, so why should I as a member have to put up with these incidents.  

Even when you complain to the CC - you get an inpersonal reply and no feedback, nor do you find out what the investigation, if any, found out.

Rant over - off my soapbox now.
