How many club members on here (1 Viewer)

[Reallyretired]

Following on the CL thread I wondered how many of us are members of the big 2 clubs.

Survey hopefully attached

Caravan Club and Swift Owners.

 

[Janine]

Both now - although I don't like the regimentation of C & CC sites, they have Folk Dance & Song Groups which provide cheap weekends away where we can make music.

We joined the CC in 2006 when we bought our first van. Joined the C&CC a year ago but maintained CC membership as well so that we have access to both CL & CS networks. C&CC meets & THSs are very good value.

Joined the Caravan Club around 1987 .. but not had continuous membership .. also been a member of the C&CC mainly for the Arrival Breakdown Scheme when we had the RV..

Presently a CC member because they have the most CLs, I also think their club sites are first class.. if a tad expensive.. but sometimes well worth it for the prime locations and great facilities.

 

[Forestboy]

Been a member of both on and off for years, currently in both.
Like to use the smaller sites Cls and CSs.
Prefer the CC main sites to the CCC main sites but only use if we have to as we find them quite expensive unless you can arrive mid week.

I joined the caravan club once to get cheap insurance, but never stayed on a site or used any of their facilities so a very expencive insurance reduction. Now get the same discount as a member of motorhome fun. not been a member of any other club for years. I'd rather put fuel in the tank.

Go where we like when we like, stay where we fancy.

both but under review, I used to like to be able to cancle the CC at short notice if swmbo was not well enough to travel, In fact we probably left early and paid for nights not used than cancled at short notice, but thats life in slow lane.

gonno use cl & cs more this year, even if we have to pay for cancelations

 

[Detnor]

We have favourite sites in both and feel we get value out of them.

I'd be interested also in the MCC membership - we've had some really good times at their rallies but numbers seem to be dropping - this may just be a false impression from the last 4 months.

CL's

Joined CC mainly because of CL's and slightly cheaper insurance. I use CC sites mainly for business stop overs, nice to have good toilet facilities, the pitches are a good size and hard standing which is essential for winter use. CL's for personal trips and summertime use, although few owners ask for membership number and I'm sure if you just turn up without being a member they would be foolish to turn you away !

We are members of the C & C Club mainly for the holiday rallies and CS sites, and for occasional meets to catch up with friends with their DA groups, we did pay the extra to be in the motorcaravan section, but stopped paying that this year.

We are also members of the MCC, and enjoy rallies with them.

But they are very different for a Motorhome fun rally. Bob.

 

[scotjimland]

Interesting and surprising (to me) results .. so far

out of aprox. 100 votes

90% are in one or the other or both clubs ..

We dropped the MCC membership as we don't rally. The CL we used was abismal. The head office didn't even acknowlege email I sent to them on that and another matter. Their magazine content was of no interest to us.

I joined them as they were a motorhome club but they turned out to be a washout for us.

In my opinion the club is too fragments bys its regional set up. The NI region however have done well in getting Aires set up, pity the rest of the club don't seem to want to do the same.

We are CC & C&CC members so that we can make use of their CL/CS networks. As a MHFun member we have access to another CL.

We don't use club sites if we can avoid them prefering quiet sites.

We are in C&CC club & have been for about 10 years now.
Have tried CC a few times but hate their booking system with a passion, it infuriates me as we can never get a club site when we want due other people having the time to sit all day in Dec booking ahead for the year in case they feel like going away, which of course they can do as there are no deposits and no problem if they don't cancel & just don't turn up!!! :Angry:
Also rallys have to be booked & paid for in advance so you can't just do a spure of moment thing, don't get that at all.

Apologies for the rant, feel better now!

C&CC let you just turn up at rallys, no need to pre book.
The club sites you can book in advance & pay deposit which is tranferrable if you need to rearrange or is lost if you just don't show or cancel,so a much fairer idea IMHO.
We also have friends in tents who can come to C&CC with us.
The THS are great for the kids & very cheap especially in summer.

Too regimented , unfriendly and retentive in CC for us I am afraid.:thumbdown:

None

Paul and Ineke

 

[Bailey58]

Member of the CC for some 15 years when we had a caravan, ten year gap until we bought the MH and joined the C&CC then the CC a year later as only they had a site where we wanted to go. We don't rally but for £40 each and the member discounts we get twice the locations.

Joined the C&CC when we got the MH mainly because as newbies we needed info on places to stay. Don't have any complaints (so far).
Years ago when we were tuggers we were in the CC, but found that if you didn't have the latest gizmos and caravans there was a definate hierarchy.
They were also pretty much an unfriendly bunch.
One windy day on the Bowness on Windermere site (which I think is now a C&CC site) my friend and I went round the deserted site and rescued all of the blown down awnings and stowed them safely under the respective vans. The thanks we got was a warning not to touch other peoples property or risk a ban. Never went to another CC site. Probably different now, but the damage has been done, I'm afraid.

We are members of the CC and joined when we had a caravan a few years back.

Our reason for joining was that we were newcomers and preferred to stay in CC sites to start off with. We stayed at our first CL last weekend and enjoyed the same facilities, but at a reduced cost:thumb:

Having all the facilites we need on board, we don't really need to use the CC sites, we could "wildcamp" or use the extensive CL network offered by the CC. However, as yet, we don't feel confident enough to "wildcamp"
