We like Lidalia AS site. Stayed a couple of times, but a long time ago. Done a good few Racecourse sites that used to be affiliated as well. Hexham, Wetherby, Fakenham, Wincanton, Market Rasen, all sadly gone now from Club network. I don’t think Uttoxeter will re open, Club need to update folks on what’s happening there, as it’s a good stopover site for either North-South, or East-West.

Over the years we have probably done approaching 90/100 Club sites if you include those that used to be in the network like some of the TRAX sites and Club sites which are now closed like Bladon Chains and Mildenhall. I am racking my brain to think of some of the old sites that are no longer with us. Folkestone, Wincanton, Newcastle Race Course, The old Brighton Race Course, Worthing, Prestatyn, Braemar and there must be more.

TTDA, there's a good alternative that can be used about 5-6 miles north off the A50. I've posted about it on the Small Sites thread in UK touring section. Suit both Caravanners and those with M/Home.

I have just done a quick check up and we have used 79 past and present club sites, so not as many as some, along with 65 C&CC sites, out of the 520+ sites we have visited in this country.
Today has been the first without rain, so far, for a couple of weeks, with lovely sunshine although rather chilly. I managed to get the outside of the van Bobby Dazzled this afternoon and hopefully will get the inside cleaned tomorrow.

Aberlady! Looks like C&CC are involved now.

We stayed there many moons ago on a golfing and walking holiday, mainly walking after wayward golf shots.
Anyone remember the one at Caenarvon? Think it must have been AS as it had access to a social club either on site or adjacent. Stayed a couple of times early 90's.

I wonder why so many racecourse sites have shut? I stayed at Thirsk, last year. It was very adequate for the price, very handy for the town centre and surrounding areas and I would definitely stay their again. I was hoping to try Cheltenham and Warwick Sites this year but for various reasons, never made it so they are on the agenda for next year.

I remember Breakspear Way, Hemel Hempstead. Stayed there a number of times, as OH used to have to go to meetings there a couple of times a year. I used to go into London for the day from there, it was very convenient for that, good transport links, very close to the M1, and surprisingly quiet considering where it was.
