C&CC family and access to sites/CSs (1 Viewer)

[ManTheVan]

I took the plunge and joined the C&CC last night, noting that membership covered us both plus any children.

Then noticed that “children” can only be named if U17. The club don’t appear to offer student membership and associate membership would not be used as we will not anticipate attending club events.

Like many others, I suppose, our student son in his 20s still lives with us and might use the MH himself for a socially distanced break. He’s an experienced and responsible camper. Can anyone advise how pedantic site wardens and/or CS owners are about checking membership? He obviously has the same surname and we could book in advance for club sites, but may occasionally turn up or call ahead to a CS. The membership card will live in the MH and can be shown if required.

Do funsters anticipate there would be any trouble with this?

Need to produce your card at an official site, CLs not usually bothered

 

[ManTheVan]

So if he can produce a membership card, he should be OK?

Well now you've posted on here, the C&CC will know of your plan and react accordingly........ Big brother is watching you

 

[ManTheVan]

...or was it the C&MC? I can’t seem to recall...

 

[westhamman]

Of course you may be committing fraud, or obtaining pecuniary advantage by deception thereby obtaining a criminal conviction. But seriously if he has the membership card they are hardly going to care as Club sites do check cards.

If you are happy defrauding the C&CC then go ahead but don't be surprised if one of the Managers clocks its not his card and sends him packing.

Might be an idea to only pay in cash at sites as they will notice a difference in names on a credit card.
C&CC do, I think, allow you to pay an extra subscription for extra family members but you wouldn't be able to book separate sites for the same dates.
Edit: Caravan Club allow an extra family member for an extra £8 per year.

I assume you do not have age concession ( over 55 ) other wise he will have to get some khaki shorts, sandals and socks.

If they think you are trying to deceive them you will be court marshalled then put in front of a firing squad.

I think we'd be more concerned if his 20 year old son's wrinkles looked anything like the OP's!

My daughter came to use Mh on a ccc site, they made her buy her own membership. Still cheaper, or was, than renting a cottage or static on one of the local sites. This was Bowness on Windermere.

I have found that not many 5van sites don't seem to bother they are happy to see the pitches full, but club sites are a different ball game altogether in my experience they check your card carefully ask all manner of questions like when did you change your underwear last, no seriously nothing much gets past them little Hitlers, jobsworths the lot of them.

 

[g3cwi]

little Hitlers, jobsworths the lot of them.

or just people doing their jobs properly for the benefit of the majority.

The CSs we've used must be more like the club sites then! We've always been asked either for our card or our membership number if we phone to book!

 

[the1andonly]

Ive even been asked why did we use a 4 yr old book to get the phone number. Cos when searching for a site we work together independently ie look at 2 books.

 

[DavidG58]

He can stay as a non member, you are mostly only talking of a few £’s difference

I don’t think many CS sites bothered much with membership cards / numbers in the past.

However we have stayed on a CS in Dorset a couple of times recently and the owner was very keen to see our cards, apparently there had been ‘complaints’ that he was not asking for membership details.
