Empty seasonal pitches

We’ve just returned from our favourite club site where there were half a dozen seasonal pitches with no one using them on a bank holiday weekend. 

These pitches are easily the best ones on site with more space, catch the sun later in day etc

When we arrived home we bumped into our disabled neighbour who told us their family had not been able to get booked up as the site was full. They can’t book weeks in advance as health issues can prevent them from travelling at very short notice  

Is it about time the club stopped selling seasonal pitches to a minority of members who are literally preventing others from enjoying the clubs facilities by taking on a seasonal pitch then not using it.

The club only has about 20,000 pitches and nearly a million members giving a member to pitch ratio of 50:1 so why restrict access to pitches by allowing a small minority of people to book them seasonally simply because they  have a bit more disposable income than others

My wife and I have had a seasonal pitch at Broomfield Farm for some 15 years ,

 I have contributed to the clubs coffers over the years and also booked uk   sites and overseas and also booked ferries also through the club.

I make no apologies  using my pitch over the weekend  and working during the week .

 if something crop's ups and I have a prior engagement to fulfil my pitch will be empty Bank holiday or not .

cant understand why it bothers people if someone is using there caravan or not people who have paid for a season pitch do so so they can come and go when they want to we pay 2400 a year so its cost affected for the club as well
