I cannot see CC members, who are on site, sitting back and accepting that people parked up on a neighbouring piece of waste ground being able to enter the CC site and use the facilities block for free.. Exactly the same as outsiders posting on the CC members forum without paying for the privelege.
Hence this discussion.

From what I remember, Valda said that she had left the Caravan Club because she never has occasion to use the Caravan Club sites. She stores her caravan abroad and has all her holidays abroad.
Like David said, she has a lot of knowledge and experience of overseas touring and as a non-member she can still continue to post on here and give members advice. If posting by non-members was forbidden then this wouldn't be possible.

Just out of interest K when you are on a site do you use the facility to post on CT without subscribing, or do you use other means?

Write your comments here...When on holiday, The last thing I am interested in, is wasting good holiday time posting on forums.
So Steve, In answer to your question, When on site, I don't use the free facility to post on CT.

Um, how would anyone know? I seem to remember some time ago someone talked about doing a survey of some kind regarding useage of the facilities block, but is anyone really that concerned when away on holiday?

When the CC started this forum they were afraid that it might not take off so they adopted some measures to increase its popularity, that included allowing outsiders to have full use of it's forum.
As a satisfied customer of the CC I agree with their decision and their reasons behind it. To be perfectly honest I still dont have any strong feelings either way. It really doesnt matter apart from being a good subject for a discussion.
Until the CC changes its policy, possibly when the new forum is implemented, I have absolutely no problems with outsiders being able to post on our forum. In fact it has helped the forum membership and post count having them here, particularly in the early days.
This has been a good thread, and as an unexpected bonus it has confirmed to me a few theories I have held for some time. So to me it was worth opening the thread and allowing others to express their opinions, That's what discussions are all about. .
So I say, let the non- CC posters stay on The CC member's Forum until the CC decide otherwise.

By which, K, I gather you have changed your mind from your OP in which you said -
"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."
It just shows the powers of persuasion that debate holds. Thankyou for telling us of your change of view.
