- many many years! since I was a kid
sorry should have explained betterSorry to distract from the debate - I'm new to all this club stuff. So certain sites affiliate themselves with certain clubs and, allegedly, provide preferential treatment to those members in return for increased revenue, as business will be funnelled through to them via the clubs? And there is also a set quota to allow non-affiliated public (or other club members) to use the Certified Locations.
Do I have that right?
Cheers,

if somebody owns some land that they want to allow caravans/motorhomes on, there are a couple of ways.
full planning permission for a campsite. very expensive and not guaranteed you will get permission granted
apply to one of the clubs that have what is known as an exemption certificate so they dont need full planning but can allow up to 5 vans on their site at any one time. this according to the rules of the exemption means that anyone using a certified site should be a member of the relevant club
it really can be a very messy can of worms getting a site set up and the use of the clubs' exemption certificates cuts down red tape and expense but it comes at a cost. the mcc has been claiming they have the right to exempt sites open to non members and no other exempted club can.
