Posted on 23/05/2018 10:33 by mickysfI think I would not be pleased if a club site didn't allow a child, baby or children. Conversely nor would I be pleased if a club site didn't allow us who are child free on a family site. Neither would be inclusive to all members which I believe is the way of this modern world, inclusivity to all members is that greater choice.

We have occasionally been on farm CL's & CS's where no dogs were allowed and others where no children were allowed. When asked, the reply was that farm gates had been left open in the past by children and dogs had not been tethered upsetting their sheep. You can hardly blame farmers from protecting their primary business, the livestock.
Another option would be to close them to caravanners altogether.

I think there is a major difference between a club site (any club), open to anyone who pays the membership fee, and a private site (be that a large commercial concern or a small CL/CS site) where individual owners, or businesses, can judge for themselves who they wish to allow to use their site (s). In this country there is ample variety to suit everyone, surely. There is no need for the club to restrict choice to any of its members.

I'm from a family of ten, we have eight grandkids and we love 'em all, I know the meaning of family and the importance of it but there are times I wish to go away in my caravan on a quiet weekend without it being spoiled by selfish parents that allow their little darlin's to be unsupervised.
Happy caravanning.

Posted on 22/05/2018 15:07 by Dadof2Why as a full member of the club, 15 years, am I not aloud to go to some C/L sites.
How can c/l sites discriminate against family's .c/s are sent up with the help of the club under a certificate held by the club for club members.

I welcome the option of adults only CL's & I wish the Club would do adult only areas in Club sites. Last year we went to Penrhos Club site in Anglesey & our evening sat out in the Sun was ruined by parents allowing their kids to run amok around the site.
I am not anti child, but I am against parents not having consideration for others & allowing their children to ruin the holidays of others.

Posted on 23/05/2018 08:29 by mickysfOne's judgement, rightly or wrongly, is based on experience. We stayed on an AO site once which was comprised of mainly seasonal touring vans, that experience added to my judgement and opinion. Not sure whether it was the OA or seasonal aspect which formed the 'ambience' of the place mind or a combination of both. Thankfully I consider myself open minded and can modify my opinions and beliefs. Maybe future, hopefully different, experiences would help. Just need to stay/need to stay, on one mind.

Hi Dadof2
We have nearly 2300 CL sites on our network, each site is independently run by the CL owner. It is up to the CL owner to decide if they would like their sites to be adult only, family friendly, dogs allowed etc.
There are many reasons why a CL site wishes to be adult only. If a health and safety risk is present, such as the site being on a working farm or due to their being open water on the site, then the Club would have made the adult only option a condition for them to be a CL Site.
Out of the 2300 CL's sites on our network 378 of these are adult only.
The uniqueness and range of services that the CL network provides means that there is a CL site out there for everybody.
I hope this helps and you are able to find suitable CL sites for you and your family to enjoy.
Thanks
Maddie

So you still have 1922 CL's out of 2300 that are inclusive. Seems to me you have ample choice. So where's the problem with having 378 AO sites. I use AOs, I rally and sometimes use sites. And I may be a grey-haired old grump, but I have found in my 41 years of camping/caravanning, that kids will be kids, but modern parents don't know how to set boundaries and have a sense of entitlement that borders on the selfish, but you could say that could have come from their parents, oh yes, that's my generation, c'est la vie.
