Adult only

Definitely the case, ET, having spoken to the odd site owner who have had problems caused by unsupervised children

Yes, I suspect many make that decision because of potential issues specifically related to the site itself which are of a crucial consideration, even for the young who are 'supervised'! Thankfully the C&MHC appear to recognise that such sites are not suitable for the club's own network as they do not provide an inclusive opportunity for all members.

That's all very well, but we went to sites which others, I guess, would have suggested had absolutely nothing on site for children. Truth is that we were not really on site for what it offered our children but were there because of what the area offered us. Thankfully the club appear to acknowledge this in their approach to inclusiveness and enjoying and experiencing freedom (for the great outdoors that is not from children). Locality for us, like for many other members I suspect, far outweighed site facilities.

We have worked with vulnerable, abused or neglected children for the best part of our lives, we both love our job but when we go away we like to be able to chill out so we choose AO sites. ET can you tell me why you think you wouldn't like our mind set ?? I find your comment very judgemental and a tad offensive.

I like young people, I like families, I like teenagers, I like children, I like grandchildren (I have nine so far). I don't like crotchedly old people who grumble. 

Crotchety

An adjective used to describe an old person. More specifically, someone who seems to hate life in their "golden years" and feels the need to take it out on others.

Seems a little extreme eurotraveller. I seriously doubt AO sites are full of folk who meet that description.

So we've been round in circles once again on this topic, it does occasionally crops up, but the status quo is still in place and will continue in my opinion. That is all Club sites are open to all members whilst CLs and ASs can choose, if they wish or need to, their target clientele. For me it matters not a jot whether the CLs/ASs are adult only or dog free but Club Sites remain correctly 'all inclusive' so to speak.

But Micky, the CMC sites are not at the moment available to all. People have different requirements. 

Take the case of  people who suffer from cynophobia ( a very common Phobia )----The CMC doesn't cater for them. All that would be required is to have a number of dog free sites within the network where those unfortunate people could enjoy the pleasures of caravanning just like the rest of us.

One size does not fit all, never has , never will. 

There are also many who would  welcome a few AO sites within the network.  I see no reason why the CMC cannot run a trial to see how popular or otherwise this option would be. Just for say a couple of seasons, a few sites could be designated AO. If successful the experiment could be extended,  if unsuccessful they could revert to what they are at the moment. The CMC have nothing to lose either way.
