Unable to book anything for 2022. Calendar shows closed/full for the whole of 2022. I have sent an email via "contact us", but wonder if anyone knows if this site is closing down, or is it just the wonderful booking system that doesn't know that 2022 exists?

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, 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.

No, it is not spurious and I can tell you’re not a dog owner. Not all sites have dog walks so your "considered anathema" phrase is already out of the window. The dog walks that do exist are generally on ground fit for nothing else.
I'm very much in favour of equity and, as long as caravanners and MH-ers pay the same fees, I believe neither should have special provisions. I see MHSPs as being a way of preventing MHs clogging up the ordinary service points but, other than that, they are unnecessary.
Yes, you are a member but I’m sure I read somewhere that you were considering debunking🤷🏻♂️

Our MH requirements do differ slightly from when we had a caravan. Particularly at the two ends of the year, I don’t want to be on grass. Where as with a caravan we would have risked it. Not really a problem, as in the absence of surface type booking, it’s either a service pitch or the C&CC benefit as I can book a HS EHU pitch with them.
Personally CY I don’t think the Nomadic motor-homers are using the sites at the moment, so I don’t see the CC loosing much business by them voting with their wheels.

No heresy at all, CY, but totally incorrect. Unless things have changed considerably over the past couple of years there are a number of club sites without dedicated dog walks. Well, I suppose the wooded strips nearCheddar, Broadway and Putts Corner (to name but 3) are labelled "dog walks" but just happen to be there, no actual work involved in preparing them. I believe there are others where dogs must be walked off site too.

Caravaners and MHers are treated exactly the same CY.

Not on a site, both are provided for exactly the same. Of course the MH differences you are referring is to do with wild camping and not using sites at all.
