Bridport Bingham Grange

No them and us within the CAMC between caravanners and motorhomers. as far as I am concerned. The them and us is, for me, that if folk want to use sites that don't provide for their needs then I see no reason for CMC to provide.

Just out of interest, CY, before you changed to a MH a couple of years back did you consider yourself "one of us" or "one of them"?

And now do you consider yourself "one of them" or "one of us"?

I ask simply because I don't remember you campaigning so vociferously when you were,  presumably, "one of us"!   

Do the Club have to follow, could they not lead?

They are. They've made their decision and given reasons for not being followers.

They seem to lead  in many ways, but if going down the route of spending large amounts of other type of LVer  members money,  to set up a dump and fill at site entrances as Cyber now suggests earlier in this thread,  rather than use club sites? with very little return even if there was a charge?

If not having a special site entrance facility most sites have security  barriers to restrict entrance to booked arrivals known to the site staff,

By having the "requested.:?facility". Gives the other type of "touring community " who now it  seems are using more motor caravans to "travel" in would give another means of accessing their "next stop"

The original refurbishment was delayed so I would expect this is now very overdue and the site may indeed not be available for onward bookings. Living fairly locally to the site it's always busy when we drive past so at least the club has had some revenue from it this year after all the Covid problems.

 I agree entirely ! Why should the club provice services free of charge for those who have no intention of payng for a pitch on any sort of site ?

+1, what is the problem with using & paying for an official site once every 3/4 days, at least that way something is being put in the kitty. It can’t be all take out🤷🏻‍♂️

Just received from the club:

Good afternoon Paul,

Thank you for your email.

Our site at Bridport Bingham Grange will be closing on 1st November for scheduled redevelopment.

We put a "stop" on the sale of the pitches so that we save members from having to cancel bookings.

Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.

I see myself merely as a member. However, with the benefit of having been on both sides, I can now see that MH requirements do differ slightly from those of a caravanner and I am at a loss to see why there is such entrenched opposition to what, in the great scheme of things, are relatively minor changes. Ultimately the more nomadic motorhomers will end up voting with their wheels in the absence of provision of such services, I suspect. At the risk of committing the greatest heresy in mentioning dogs, it would, no doubt, be considered anathema for no dog walk to be provided, notwithstanding not all members need one. Therefore the argument that "it doesn't benefit all members" is spurious.
