Just read a review of Wirral CP site that mentions that the wardens are no longer able to sell basic goods from the reception. They told the reviewer that it was a H.O. management decision.
Is this a regular occurrence elsewhere as I've not seen it mentioned before and not being a regular attendee on club sites would not have come across it?
Should imagine it would affect some members more than others.

They were very personal when we had a problem getting through the barrier on one. Phone answered within a few seconds and problem solved. I don’t have a issue with a paired down service, but it would have to be accompanied by reduced costs.

So the site staff deciding not to run a shop for whatever reason makes club sites high priced car parks and a reduction in value. Seriously? A reduction in value 'cos you can't nip in for a pint of milk? I really find that hard to believe. I know of a number of club sites that have never had a shop of any sort and never a complaint because the customer can't buy the sun paper in the morning or grab a magnum of an afternoon. As I said earlier some 30 colleagues this year are asking for feedback on the 30 sites with no shop this year and the negative feedback has been minimal.

Hardly the definitive survey then! People - in general- are only just getting their caravans & motorhomes back on the road after the winter.

You are making generalised disparaging personal comments about genuine contributors to the forum. There are no "browbeaters" on here and people are just questioning what has happened and why it has happened. It is a CAMC matter not about any individual action but I must say I have now learnt quite a bit how these things are managed by CAMC.

The point is JK being able to buy a pint of milk or an ice cream from reception was once quite widespread and part of the Club offer. It was a nice extra touch on Club sites appreciated by many. Understandable during COVID that such offerings had to be suspended. Now it seems that we won't be going back to pre COVID arrangements on quite a few sites. I think that is a shame and it does diminish the Club offer. I am less likely to run out of toilet chemicals than I am milk! OK it's not the end of the world but what was once an easy option has now become more difficult. The price of a site and the facilities on that site are all part of how we view value.
