I was aware that the C&CC had lodges on some of their sites but I didn't know they also had static caravans. Apparently they have upped their charges for removal and re-siting statics when they reach 15 years of age which, to me , seems a bit young to have to replace something? The article is here https://www.theguardian.com/money/article/2024/may/11/lake-district-caravan-owners-price-rise Now the C&CC do offer an explanation and I am in no position to question their calculations. I know there are a few static owners on here so perhaps they can give an insight.

Somewhat ironic that the Camping and Caravan Club have got rid of Glamping Tents but the Caravan and Motorhome Club continues with theirs?

Maybe with having them first the C&CC have found out that over the long term they are not cost effective, and have abandoned them in favour of something more profitable. Perhaps in the years to come the CC will come to the same conclusion?

As you say perhaps we will have to wait and see. Perhaps the growth in Glamping is leveling off? Trouble is, I suspect, very little information will be shared with the members as its outside of the usual Club Raison d'être as a touring organisation? I might be tempted to use the Pods with toilet facilities but sleeping in a tent is something I have never done and at 77 I suspect a bit late to join the party
