The "other" club

Of course I'm familiar with the phrase but "less keeping up with the Joneses" is a comparison and I wanted to know compared to who or what.

Surely Juliec can’t mean her own fellow club members as I wouldn’t think she'd belong to a club if that was her opinion of the membership?

I completely agree with your second paragraph. No emotional involvement at all and I, too, am a half price veteran member of the other club. 

As for your first paragraph, I didn’t join this club for many years because of some apparent attitudes but when I did reconsider and join, I found things had changed considerably and those attitudes are now a shadow of their former selves, in my opinion.

 

Also a member of both clubs. Given the collective range and quality of sites on offer I think it is value for money, but do appreciate the cheaper age concession rates from the ‘other club’ for oldies like me.

Yes

Member of both clubs. Very similar in many respects but different in the detail. Facilities similar in range in that both have some dated ones but always immaculate. You can generally choose your pitch- in CCC the manager will escort you but I have never had a pitch that didn’t suit. We rally with the CMT but tend to use CCC sites. We like their quirkiness and also that you can save money by not having a EHU and gravel. We use CCC temporary holiday sites which are brilliant.  

What about grass pitches, are they available?

When the product offered is so similar, and the cost of two head office and management structures is so high, I wonder how long it can be until there is an amalgamation.

It would need to be a bottle of ‘Bathtub’ Gin to motivate me!

Continuing the booze theme, I think CMC are like Stella Artois, “reassuringly expensive”.

Cheers
