CC membership and the forum

What proportion of people posting on this forum are fully paid up members of the Caravan Club.?

My opinion is that outsiders ( non members) should only have read-only access to this forum.  Only paid up members of the CC should be able to post.

A non-member comments!...........

What a strange thread. I have been a (non CC) forum member and active follower for about a year since getting into caravaning.  In that time I can only recall ever seeing 3 or 4 posts from non-members (excluding my own!).  Indeed in several instances, the posters have claimed that they are in fact members and 'the avatar is wrong'!

I am a member of C&CC and hope that their forum will eventually have the same depth of contributors and information as this one, but for the time being I am grateful to be able to participate here.

Why don't I join CC?  Maybe I will, but it would only be to access CLs , and that is difficult to justify finacially.

Well having been a CC member for 30yrs this year, we are actually having a hiatus at the moment through no fault of our own but health reasons factor prominently and we are finding it impossible to get out atm. We could very easily have let our subscription lapse, indeed - if anything happened to my OH I would certainly become an ex-member and while I can see K being enthralled if I was barred from posting here - I think I would still have a valid contribution to make - should I wish to !

Write your comments here...I do hope your OH makes a speedy recovery FD.   I mean that most sincerely. 

What would this forum do without you. You are the only person who stands up for rallying. . A true individual.

Regards Kennine.

There are far more posts by non-members than you say, Vic, which gives more weight to allowing non-members to post. Treat this as a passing whim and don't take it seriously.Laughing

Thanks to all who have put forward their opinion on this subject.  It has been very informative. There appears to be many more non-cc members posting on the CC member's forum than first thought.   Good thread.

Ribs I've never seen curtains twitch, they must be very secretive or the curtains are already openHappy.  anywhere you go and sit in a caravan you basically face a window.

if you ever pitch alongside me you will know me as I am usually peering through Bino's and got a long lens camera to hand, and no I'm not interested in my fellow campers but the wildlife!  

Back on topic I just dont understand K's statement that there are more non members on CT than first thought.  Has CC issue figures?  it appears since the rash of spam and cyber attacks security has been tightened so no worries from me.

It does seem strange, that we as members of the CC are paying over £ 40.00 per annum for  membership  which includes the forum and it's administration. BUT there are outsiders who are not CC members able to get full use of the forum  for "Free : Gratis and For Nought".  

 

Not a lot stranger than being allowed to use the broadband free for CT. Thus cluttering the bandwidth others have paid £25 for.
