It's reported on FB that there have been 3 more site closures from the end of the month. Alderstead Heath, Gatwick and Littlehampton. Apparently all down to staff shortages.

Can't see any announcement on here yet.

I have just been on the Web page to check the site details, and there is information saying,

"we regret to that owing to staff shortages etc etc "

This is the message on the Gatwick Club web page for those that can't find it.

 

Site information
Please Note: We regret to inform you that due to staff shortages, Gatwick Club Campsite will unfortunately be closed from midday Friday 5 November 2021 for the remainder of this year (reopening on 4 January 2022).

If you have a touring pitch booking beyond Friday 5 November please cancel or amend your stay. If you would like to move your booking to an alternative site, the nearest ones are Abbey Wood Club Campsite or Brighton Club Campsite which are both open all year round.

Storage Customers will be contacted separately.

I hope those with bookings will be individually informed. It would be terrible for them to turn up and find the gate locked.

It's certainly tucked away! I would have expected to be on the page that comes up from a site search?

" We regret to inform you that due to staff shortages, Gatwick Club Campsite will unfortunately be closed from midday Friday 5 November 2021 for the remainder of this year (reopening on 4 January 2022)."

An interesting explanation, how are they so confident they will have staff available on the 4th Jan. if as they say they are short staffed now.
