Littlehampton closed down

Unfortunately Mick it seems that the shortage in supplies affecting many parts of the economy stretches to relief/temporary wardens as well and there has been several comments from disgruntled members about the short amount of time given by the club to those affected by these closures. 

Most of the sites seem to be in the South so they are also taking away any alternative.

So no matter what our esteemed PM may say, for some Christmas will be cancelled.

I wish you the best of luck in making alternative arrangements.

I do wonder whether bookings at these sites will be down for this period next year.

This is what is on the webpage for Littlehampton:-

"Please Note: We regret to inform you that due to staff shortages, Littlehampton Club Campsite will unfortunately be closed from midday on Monday 1 November 2021 for the remainder of this year (reopening on 25 February 2022).

If you have a touring pitch booking beyond Monday 1 November please cancel or amend your stay. If you would like to move your booking to an alternative site, the nearest ones are Brighton Club Campsite or Tanner Farm Touring Park, Affiliated Site, which are both open all year round."

Not sure how the Club have got themselves into this position?

This would have been an ideal place for the club to announce this shortfall to the membership. Instead we have got to find out from third parties.

Along with Gatwick, Alderstead Heath and Uttoxeter Racecourse.

i think its going to get a lot worst with wages going up in other sectors cant see getting staff is going to be easy there is only a small pool of workers and its getting smaller the club should of made job more friendly for younger people rather then relying on us old ones now the older ones dont wont the job   so as the song goes there will be trouble ahead

Is it just me or do members think it a bit of adding insult to injury that, when CAMC cancel your booking, they want 'you' to do the amending/cancelling of your booking on the system?

When they cancelled them due to restrictions they said the same, but had Deleted User them by the time I got round to looking. As it’s closed anyway, I suppose the only point is if you want to make another booking for those dates, as it would prevent that.

How can the CMHC amend your booking for you as they won't know if you want to re-book somewhere else and if you do, how will they know where you want to go?

I think CY just meant cancel the Littlehampton booking and then leave customers to rebook as required, or not...

If the job was suitable for younger people I would envisage that they would have taken on younger people in previous years, when there was far more unemployment.  You have to be very hard working and have a very even temper to be a warden/assistant warden, as the job is not easy at all and some members can be very hard to please and often not very pleasant!
