A bit of balance is needed. I bet that the vast majority of those unfortunate patients haven't contracted C19 from usage of a LV. 

There are plenty of intelligent users of LVs out there who know and obey the regs.

Even if they do reopen there won't be many Club "chairs" for us in Wales to visit. Only 3 all year sites, Tredegar House, Lady Margaret Park and Brecon Beacons plus Pembrey until just after new year. At least until December we will have them all to ourselves.

There will be plenty of CLs in Wales only too keen to have your trade scoutman.

As per Jill's post above, we have further communication for our members regarding the UK Government announcement. Please see below:

Following my previous post, although the restrictions are subject to final confirmation from the UK Parliament on Wednesday 4 November, we have taken the decision to cancel all member bookings on campsites in England from Thursday 5 November to Wednesday 2 December 2020 and no new bookings for stays during this period will be taken. We would very much appreciate your help and support and would be grateful if you could cancel your individual bookings online through our website or App.

We know this will be disappointing for those of you who were booked to go away, but the safety and wellbeing of our members, guests, staff and the communities in which our campsites operate, has always been of paramount importance to us and will continue to be so.

The website will be updated regularly, please take time to check it for the latest information and advice.

Members currently on our Sites network in England 

Members currently on our Club campsites in England with a booking further than Wednesday 4 November will be asked to curtail their stay and return home. 

Storage sites and Seasonal pitches in England

Members will be contacted individually to inform them of the current situation.

I've had it too. Don't quite understand the requirement to cancel our own booking. Is it because the system can't cope with a lot of "no shows" and the subsequent "naughty" Email?

Perhaps they can't be done automatically, therefore any taken off by members saves a bit of time. Cancelled ours last Friday as we had moved into tier 3.☹️

Some interesting variations going on.  As I may have a need to travel during lockdown II I contacted a number of sites.  One large private commercial, one large private CAMC affiliate, one CS, and a CL/CS type certified by another organisation.  All without exception said they would accomodate me but quite rightly pointed out that the guidance was not to travel.  I would of course have to use my own facilities.
