Another Site Lost - Northbrook Farm

I saw a post on Facebook which I later confirmed on the Club's website that the owners of Northbrook Farm in Worthing have not renewed the lease on this site. See here. I am pretty sure the owners are the local council and I thought they had been working with the Club on a refurbishment of the site to provide an all year opening site. Obviously this has not proceeded as planned. At a guess the Council  have decided to build more houses which was initially planned for only part of the site?

In the last few days I've had club emails urging me to book firstly glamping units and hire vans, now sites so that I can "discover" places. I'd opted out of e mails until recently so I don't know if these are regular campaigns or is there pressure to fill pitches? 

We're on a club site we visit quite often , it's usually full at weekends  but there are empty pitches. At least late cancelled visits due to the weather will bring in revenue but generally rising prices and unimproved facilities etc are putting us off.

Same here brue. We are getting the emails about this that and the other, despite opting out of emails. It doesn’t bother me, we simply ignore them in the main. I did try and take a look at an Experience Freedom offer, but gave up after the website proved difficult to open. Club Sites barely feature in our plans. We had been thinking of trying one next week, booking the morning of departure, but only because it’s close and I can commute home to Mum. But the weather is unpredictable at the moment, and I’m not prepared to shell out the price the Club want to stare at a row of other vans through the rain, contemplating the delights of refurbished toilets. We’ed rather drive somewhere else, use a Britstop overnight for free, have a nice meal at a pub.
