Club site awards

Gateway

I am pretty sure that the Club does not put it's own sites forward for such awards. To win such awards any site would have to be open for anyone to stay on and as many Club sites are members they wouldn't qualify. Even if Club site do accept non members there is a significant extra charge so again a site with two levels of charging would not qualify to my mind. Some competitions run by camping magazines may well get a Club site nominated by readers and I suppose a site could win. But that would be outside of the control of the Club.

Having said all that Club sites are often featured in magazines when they are doing a piece on a particular area of the country like the Peak District but that is different to winning awards!

Hi Tinwheeler

As we have said on many occasions opinions are just opinions and we are all entitled to have them, however we would still like the views of others on this forum as your opinion/view has been read and noted now perhaps you will allow others to write their reviews on the subject be it bad or good?otherwise you could be misinterpreted as trying to stop this thread unfairly and we shouldn't allow that!

So again we respectfully thank you for your views and points of view but perhaps now it best as you have no idea of any independent awards which have been awarded to OUR club as have not placed these into this thread then perhaps its time to let others comment who may be better informed about such things don't you agree?

All the best Tinwheeler

Hi David

Thanks for those comments and Yes perhaps that might be a good reason why the club has no awards by outside bodies but we are fairly sure (not 100%)that things like the AA 5 star awards can apply if the club hierarchy would invite them in the inspect and judge?Perhaps that would be a cherry on the tree for the club should it be awarded 5 star AA awards?

But thank you David for a very informative post

Hey guys, don't knock Gateway, my new ally. He's got a point.

Practical Caravan magazine publishes a list of 100 favourite sites chosen and voted for by its readers. 99 of the 100 on the list are independent commercial sites. Only one is a site run by this Club. The list on line and I suggest it's worth looking at. 

The British public has said what they like best.

Hi Tinwheeler

Thanks again for your post but as there has been 39 reviews so far perhaps shall we just let this one run! besides we have all paid our membership fees to be here and this is what forums are for discussing and finding out things aren't they?or are we only allowed to discuss certain things pertaining to OUR club?

But again your comments/views have been noted but still would rather others commit as well we are sure you will understand and allow others to take part.

But thank you once again

Hi Eurotraveller

Thank God there's light at the end of this very long tunnel..lol

This is the point I'm making why isn't our sites being awarded anything? perhaps established members need to be aware of these awards and start involving others to get some for our clubs?are we not meant to be the best club to join?and here is the link for anyone to check practicalcaravan.com/top100-2018

Thank you very much for the support :)

39 reviews?🤔

Who has suggested we can only discuss matters pertaining to this club? UK Sites and Touring is for discussing all UK sites.

Everyone is free to take part in this discussion and I'm not preventing them doing so.

I repeat, I don’t give two hoots for awards and whether or not a site has one does not influence my choice and I suspect I’m not alone.

Have you asked the club yet?

Hi Tinwheeler again

Yes we are asking the club sure they will return our email at some point but note that you don't give as you say "Two Hoots" but others like Eurotraveller on this forum do!

So again with all respect we have noted your latest comments perhaps you would like to review Practical Caravan list of top 100 sites 2018 as this may possibly just open up a new world for you! Just our opinion mind!

Well done, Gateway. You're really good at evading points you don't wish to answer.👏🏻

Study the list of top 100 sites - open up a new world? After 45 years of LV-ing I don’t think so. 😂😂😂😂

Hi Tinwheeler

Hot off the club press room! what about this then?
