Memberships

Hi - yes we are members of the CCC with no problems - the CC always seem to regimental to me (collar and tie brigade) to posh for me.

John (Guernsey Donkey)

I am a member of both mainly because I use them when working in London , Chertsey (C&CC) and Crystal Palace (CC) I prefer the C&CC because I am over 55 and I do find them less regimented. I wild camp a lot of the time but its handy as Chana said in his post elsewhere when it comes to the washing and ironing and its good to have a good water supply and hook up in the winter to help keep warm.The ferry discounts and Insurance savings more than make up for the fees.

I am off full time in about 2 years when my OAP kicks in following in the Belgium gents foodprints , I reckon my private pension such as it is and my OAP should cover me week to week and my savings for emergencies.

It depends on your needs but we have found Safeguard a better option for insurance - mainly because they offer 12 months cover (including recovery) in Europe; the Clubs do not and, the last time I looked, were no cheaper for us. Enjoy Scotland - a wonderful country.

Well I have a little confession, I am only a member of the CC.

That said today I did a little exploring on the ccc site, and that is the point !

I have been offered employ in Oxford ..the cc cl sites are too far away from where I need to be ...I wondered if the ccc were more practical.

I looked on their website and a wealth of info.

conversely the CC website seems to require membership before divulging cl sites.

One nil to the caravan and camping club !!! ...and that is from a member of the opposition

We stayed on a CCC site in Devizes this year and low and behold a caravan being towed by a landrover came on site, whats wrong with that you say - nothing at all but the caravan was a wooden 1930s with a potbellied stove and steps up to the main door and cut glass mirrors and guess what, it was the pride and attention of the site and all those with cameras --- nobody said a word against it.

Whereabouts in Oxford?

There used to be a CS/CL at Salters boatyard, off the Abingdon Road, south of the city centre - don't know if it's still there.

Also used to be 2 in Kidlington, north of Oxford. I know at least one is still there because its at my brother-in-laws pub!

The work was in the railway station itself.

I stopped at 2 cl's one in Kidlington and one in a small Village on the Swindon Road ( pub at the side of it seven stars I think.)

The problem is all the Park and rides and Rail car parks appear to have height barriers.

Bus Services wouldnt get me in time for work from Kidlington itself, and I dont fancy cycling on the A420 A43 racetracks.
