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?

The clubs News and Events page has the section:

Keep up to date with the latest news and advice from the Club.

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.

Posted on 23/10/2021 07:46 by cyberyachtIs 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.

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!
